Vertical neck bands—those tight, cord-like lines that appear when you talk, smile, or tense your neck—are caused by the platysma muscle becoming more visible over time. As we age, the skin thins and loses elasticity, making those bands stand out more, even when your face still looks youthful. These bands can create a tense or aged look, especially in photos or side profiles, and can be hard to hide with skincare alone. If you feel like your neck is starting to betray your age (or just doesn’t match your face), you’re not imagining it—and you have non-surgical options.
At Laser Center, we offer precise, effective treatments for neck bands that soften the platysma muscle without surgery. Using expert neurotoxin placement (like Botox® or Dysport®), we gently relax the muscle activity that causes visible banding—restoring a smoother, more elegant neckline. With over 20 years of experience, our injectors are trained to treat this delicate area safely and naturally, always keeping your movement and facial harmony in mind. We’ll tailor the treatment to your anatomy so results feel subtle, balanced, and completely you.
