Platysma Bands

Platysma Bands Treatment

Platysma is broad, thin muscles positioned on the side of your neck; they are divided into two distinct and separate sides that meet at the center. As you age, these muscles become weaker and separate further, causing unwanted platysma bands.

Platysma bands are a huge source of anxiety for most people as they signify aging and sagging skin. The cause for their appearance is still unknown and under research.

Some experts suggest that platysma bands result from loss of muscle tone and sagging skin, and any treatment option should focus on tightening the muscle and the skin. In contrast, others suggest that they are caused by the muscles only and not sagging skin, and treatment should focus on the muscle.
