What is the issue?
Horizontal neck lines tend to deepen with age. This is particularly true of individuals who have spent a lot of time outdoors.
They can be improved, but not completely removed with Botulinum Toxin injections.
When will results be seen?
Results usually take 5-7 days to show.
How long do the results last?
Results usually last 3-5 months.
Is repeated treatment necessary?
This is a personal choice. There may be other more suitable treatment options including surgery.
What are the important side effects to be aware of?
Injection of this area is usually very safe, and there is a low incidence of untowards events. Potential rare side effects include dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, difficulty speaking, unclear speech and neck weakness.
For this reason only one neck band will be injected at each session.
What alternatives are there?
Polynucleotides with Hyaluronic acid are great for rejuvenating the neck, as well as skin boosters such as Sunekos. Profhilo is also reported to be helpful.
A daily skincare product formulated for the neck will enhance clinic results.
