Neck Bands Botox in Seoul: Soften Platysmal Cords and Refine the Jawline
Targeted botulinum toxin relaxes the vertical platysma bands that make the neck look strained and older, and can sharpen the jawline — the so‑called “Nefertiti lift” — with no downtime.
What is neck bands Botox?
Neck bands Botox is the injection of botulinum toxin along the vertical platysmal bands to relax the platysma muscle, softening visible neck cords and reducing its downward pull on the jawline. Results appear within 1–2 weeks and usually last 3–4 months.
Concerns we treat
What can neck bands Botox improve?
The platysma is a thin sheet muscle from the chest to the jaw. With age and strain its edges form visible vertical cords.
Vertical neck cords
Softens bands that stand out when you talk, grimace or tense the neck.
Blurred jawline
Reducing platysma pull can subtly define the jaw (“Nefertiti lift”).
Strained, tired neck
Gives a smoother, more relaxed neck profile.
Horizontal neck lines
Fine “necklace” lines may need skin boosters rather than Botox.
Lower‑face laxity
Skin tightening such as Ultherapy Prime treats loose skin.
Under‑chin fullness
Fat responds to double chin treatment, not Botox.
How it works
How Botox relaxes platysmal bands
Small amounts of toxin are placed along each band and sometimes under the jawline. The muscle relaxes, the cords flatten and the downward pull on the lower face lessens.
- Week 1: bands start to soften
- Week 2: peak effect and review
- Month 3–4: gradual return of activity
- Best with: skin tightening for loose skin
