What Are the Benefits of Using BOTOX® for Neck Band Treatment?

Neck bands are horizontal lines or folds that appear on the neck due to age. These bands can be a source of self-consciousness for many people. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Phillip Dauwe now offers BOTOX as a popular treatment option.

BOTOX, a type of botulinum toxin type A, works by blocking certain nerve signals in the body. When injected into the platysma muscle responsible for forming neck bands, BOTOX can soften their appearance.

There are many benefits of using BOTOX injections for neck band treatment. They are safe, nonsurgical, and require no downtime. Plus, our plastic surgeon in Dallas, TX, knows how to achieve amazing results using cutting-edge techniques. Call Phillip Dauwe, M.D. Plastic Surgery now for an appointment and see the benefits for yourself.

Benefit #1: BOTOX is safe

You may have heard about botulinum toxin type A in the news or media and wondered if it is safe. Rest assured that BOTOX has been used for years in various medical and cosmetic procedures and is considered very safe when administered by a licensed medical professional. Dr. Dauwe has extensive training in cosmetic injectables and ensures that all proper safety protocols are followed.

During a consultation, inform Dr. Dauwe of any allergies or medical conditions to ensure that BOTOX is suitable for your needs. It is also important to disclose any new medications or supplements you are taking, as these can potentially interact with the treatment.

Benefit #2: BOTOX is nonsurgical

Unlike other cosmetic procedures that require incisions or invasive techniques, BOTOX injections are nonsurgical. This means that there is no need for anesthesia or a lengthy recovery period. The procedure can be done in just a few minutes, making it convenient for men and women with busy schedules.

During neck band treatment, our plastic surgeon in Dallas, TX will administer small injections into the platysma muscle. You may experience minor discomfort or a stinging sensation, but this is temporary and can be managed with ice or topical numbing cream. We then provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Patients return to their day-to-day activities almost immediately afterward.

Benefit #3: BOTOX requires no downtime

Because BOTOX is safe and nonsurgical, there is very little downtime required. This means individuals can resume work and other light activities right away. In fact, many of our patients at Phillip Dauwe, M.D. Plastic Surgery have BOTOX injections done during their lunch break or in between errands.

Some mild side effects may occur after neck band treatment, such as bruising or redness at the injection sites. These subside within a few hours to days. Cool ice packs can be used to reduce discomfort or swelling. Dr. Dauwe recommends avoiding strenuous exercise and massaging the injected areas for 24 hours to avoid potential complications. Call our office for any concerns or questions during recovery.
