Platysmal Band Botox in Wimbledon, London
Platysmal band Botox is an advanced anti-wrinkle treatment designed to soften visible neck bands, reduce downward pull on the lower face and improve jawline definition. Often referred to as a “Nefertiti neck lift”, this treatment works by relaxing the platysma muscle to create a smoother, more refreshed and subtly lifted appearance without surgery.
At Vanessa Charest Aesthetics in Wimbledon, every treatment is tailored individually based on facial anatomy, muscle movement and overall facial balance to ensure natural-looking, undetectable results.
Frequently Asked Questions
​
What are platysmal bands?
Platysmal bands are vertical neck bands caused by contraction of the platysma muscle, which can become more visible with ageing and muscle activity.
How does platysmal band Botox work?
Botulinum toxin relaxes the platysma muscle, helping reduce downward pull on the lower face and softening visible neck bands.
Can platysmal band Botox improve jawline definition?
In suitable patients, relaxing the platysma can help improve lower face tension and create a softer, more defined jawline appearance.
What is the difference between platysmal band Botox and a Nefertiti neck lift?
A Nefertiti neck lift uses anti-wrinkle injections along the jawline and platysma to soften downward pull and create a subtle lifting effect. Platysmal band treatment focuses more specifically on visible neck bands.
Will the results look natural?
The aim is always natural movement and subtle rejuvenation. Treatment is tailored individually based on facial anatomy and muscle movement.
How long do results last?
Results typically last around 3–4 months depending on muscle strength and individual metabolism.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients tolerate treatment very well. The injections are quick and involve minimal discomfort.
Who is suitable for platysmal band treatment?
Treatment may be suitable for patients concerned with visible neck bands, lower face heaviness or early jawline sagging.
