What is a "Turkey Neck"?
“Turkey neck” is a rather unglamorous term for wrinkled, sagging skin on the neck. A common side effect of aging. It occurs when your neck muscles (platysma) are overactive or clearly visible , causing the your skin loses its elasticity, or ability to stretch and stay tight, resulting in a "turkey neck" appearance
​
Aim of treatment.
​
The aim treatment is reduce the platysmal band appearance, that occur when you contract the platysma. By allowing the platysma muscles movement to be reduce, leading to a more relax and diminish the movement pattern, preventing development and appearance of a "turkey neck".
​
The botox injections are a simple and safe procedure, involving a small injection into the platysma muscle so that it can no longer cause the skin to crease or fold.
​
By treating this muscle area and reducing the strength of the platysma, improvements can be seen in the lateral cheek and marionette lines. Additional to a 15-20% neck lifting effect seen.
​
​Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only procedure and will only be performed following our face-to-face medical consultation with a medical practitioner prior to botox being administered.
