Botox has been known to produce visible results in most cases involving the vertical neck bands (platysma muscles). These are the muscles that control chewing and the ability to speak. This condition is related to aging and is sometimes referred to as “turkey neck,” or “turkey gobbler.” Botox is most effective on these muscles, which aid in animating the face.
Botox injections can relax these muscles, reducing their prominence, and preventing them from pulling the skin of the neck down, forming wrinkles. After the procedure, the neck will look softer and regain some of its youthful shape and appearance.
