Your concern
Visible Platysma Bands & Neck Ageing
The neck is one of the most delicate and frequently overlooked areas when it comes to ageing — yet it often shows early signs of volume loss, collagen breakdown, and muscle-related changes. One of the most visible signs is the appearance of vertical platysma bands — the rope-like lines or cords that become more prominent when speaking, smiling, or turning the head.
At Aestheté Sunshine Coast, we offer a refined and medically led approach to treating neck ageing. This includes prescription-only cosmetic treatments to address visible bands and structural concerns, along with clinical-strength skincare to support tone, hydration, and long-term prevention.
TREATMENT OPTIONS AT AESTHETE SUNSHINE COAST
All cosmetic medical treatments are prescription-only and provided only after a medical consultation with one of our qualified practitioners. Suitability and treatment plans are determined based on individual anatomy and goals.
Visible platysma bands are most effectively addressed with carefully placed cosmetic treatments designed to relax the underlying platysma muscle — which pulls downward on the lower face and neck.
- May soften dynamic neck bands and smooth vertical tension
- Creates a more relaxed, lifted appearance to the jawline and neck
- Only available following a full facial and neck assessment
The skin of the neck is thinner and contains fewer oil glands than the face, making it more prone to dryness, laxity, and textural changes. Consistent skincare targeting the neck area is essential for optimal results.
AFTERCARE & RECOVERY
- Minimal to no downtime for cosmetic muscle-relaxing treatments
- Results typically appear within 7–14 days and may last 3–4 months
- Skin quality continues to improve with consistent homecare
- Avoid lying down for 4 hours post-procedure
- Do not massage or apply pressure to the neck area for 24 hours
- Apply neck-specific products daily to improve skin texture and tone
- Wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ on the neck and chest daily
Frequently Asked Questions
