Platysma Botox relaxes the thin sheet of muscle in the neck that forms vertical neck bands and pulls the jawline and mouth corners downward. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor injects small doses along the bands and jaw border; the neck usually looks smoother and the jawline slightly more defined within 1–2 weeks, typically for around 3–4 months.

What is platysma Botox?
The platysma is a broad, thin muscle that runs from the upper chest over the front of the neck to the lower face. With age, its edges can separate and tighten into visible vertical cords, often called platysmal bands or "turkey neck" bands. Because it attaches to the jaw and mouth corners, a strong platysma also pulls the lower face down and blurs the jawline.
Platysma Botox places small doses of botulinum toxin along the visible bands and, in some plans, along the lower jaw border. Relaxing the muscle softens the bands and reduces its downward pull, which can make the jawline look a little sharper; this is sometimes called a Nefertiti lift. For skin laxity or a double chin, the doctor may suggest a non-surgical neck lift or double chin treatment alongside.
Who is a good candidate for platysma Botox?
- Vertical bands that appear when you tense the neck or speak
- A jawline that looks less defined because of muscle pull
- Downturned mouth corners linked to neck muscle activity
- People wanting a non-surgical neck refresh
Platysma Botox treats muscle bands, not loose skin or fat, so heavy laxity needs other options. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding or with certain neuromuscular conditions, and doses are planned carefully because deeper neck muscles help with swallowing. The doctor checks your neck and medical history at consultation.

What results and recovery can I expect?
You can return to normal activities straight after treatment. The bands usually soften within one to two weeks, and the jawline may look slightly cleaner, especially when talking or smiling. The change is moderate and works most effectively when skin elasticity is still reasonable. Small bruises on the neck are possible and fade within days. Results typically last around 3–4 months and can be repeated or combined with lifting or skin tightening treatments.

Frequently asked questions
What does platysma Botox do?
It relaxes the neck muscle that forms vertical bands and pulls the lower face down, softening the bands and slightly defining the jawline.
How long does platysma Botox last?
The effect typically lasts around 3–4 months.
Is platysma Botox the same as a Nefertiti lift?
A Nefertiti lift is a type of platysma Botox that includes injections along the jaw border to improve jawline definition.
Does platysma Botox help a double chin or loose skin?
No. It treats muscle bands. Fat under the chin or loose skin need other treatments, which the doctor can combine.
Are there side effects?
Mild bruising or tenderness is common. Rarely, neck weakness or swallowing changes can occur, which is why careful dosing by a doctor is important.
How much does platysma Botox cost in Seoul?
The doctor confirms the price at consultation based on the dose needed. You can see published prices on our Botox price list.
