Why Do Neck Lines Age Us So Prominently?
Neck skin is thinner than facial skin, less sebaceous, and routinely neglected in skincare routines. Neck line formation involves:
- Platysma muscle over-contraction: Repetitive head movements cause horizontal banding over time
- Skin aging: Collagen loss and elasticity decline cause wrinkles to solidify into static lines
- “Tech neck” effect: Prolonged downward gaze from phones and computers dramatically accelerates neck line development
Once formed, neck lines respond poorly to skincare alone. Botulinum toxin injection into the platysmal bands is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments available.
Rappoel Clinic uses Coretox botulinum toxin for precision platysmal band injection — relaxing over-contracted superficial neck muscles to directly reduce the tension creating neck lines, while maintaining full range of neck motion.
How the Neck Coretox Treatment Works
Physician observes platysmal band activation during active neck movement, marking the precise locations requiring relaxation while avoiding deeper swallowing musculature.
3–5 injection points per band with conservative dosing per point — natural result, no rigidity, full functional neck movement preserved.
For patients with concurrent neck skin laxity, adding energy-based treatments addresses the structural component while Coretox handles the muscular tension component.
Results & Longevity
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Results Onset | 3–7 days post-injection; full effect at 2 weeks |
| Duration | ~3–5 months (neck muscles are highly active, metabolizing faster than facial muscles) |
| Recovery | No meaningful downtime; possible mild injection marks |
| After-Care | Avoid pressing injection area for 4 hours; no intense exercise on treatment day |
