Microtox

• genetics
• the effects of gravity on the skin
• weakened collagen
• overworked facial muscles

Horizontal – As we get older, horizontal creases or bands naturally form on the neck. These lines can be reduced by injecting small amounts of BOTOX® above and below the wrinkles wherever they appear.

Vertical – Some people, especially those who exercise a lot, develop rope-like vertical protrusions on their neck that are particularly apparent when they speak. These bands, which are caused by the platysma muscles, strengthen and grow through years of eating, straining and general tension in the jaw. The muscles extend from the top of the chest to the lower jawline and can be more apparent when a person smiles. Sagging platysma muscles are sometimes referred to as ‘turkey neck’.

However, these bands can be very effectively smoothed and relaxed with BOTOX® treatment.
