Smooth Visible Neck Bands and
trengthen Skin Across the Jawline
Platysmal bands refer to the vertical lines that can become visible on the neck, often appearing more prominent with age or certain facial movements. These bands are caused by the platysma muscle, which extends from the lower face down to the collarbone. As the skin loses elasticity and the muscle becomes more active or prominent, these neck bands may become more defined, even at rest.
At Prophile Clinics, we offer a range of non-surgical platysmal bands treatment options designed to help improve the appearance of neck muscle banding and enhance skin tone in the lower face and neck area. Each approach is tailored to support skin structure, reduce visible banding and promote a more refined neck contour over time.
What Causes Platysmal Bands?
Platysmal bands are typically associated with both natural ageing and repetitive muscle movement. Over time, changes in the skin and muscle contribute to their visibility.
Common contributing factors include:
- Repeated neck movement and facial expression
- Age-related skin laxity
- Loss of subcutaneous fat and skin support
- Thinning skin and reduced collagen
- Genetic predisposition or facial structure
Can Platysmal Bands Be Prevented?
While these neck lines are often part of the natural ageing process, some preventative habits may support the skin and reduce visible changes over time.
- Sun Protection: Consistent use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen can help protect against UV damage, a key factor in collagen loss.
- Supportive Skincare: Hydrating and antioxidant-rich products may help reinforce the skin barrier and maintain firmness.
- Posture Awareness: Reducing frequent downward neck movement (such as from device use) can help minimise strain on the platysma muscle.
- General Wellness: Staying hydrated, avoiding smoking and following a nutrient-rich diet can contribute to healthier skin overall.
When to Consider
Platysmal Bands Treatment
Some individuals seek treatment when vertical neck lines become more noticeable or when skin changes affect the smoothness and definition of the neck and jawline.
Professional treatment may be considered if:
- The bands are visible at rest or during expression
- Skin laxity in the neck is increasing
- Preventative skincare is no longer delivering the desired support
- The appearance of neck bands is impacting the overall neck contour
Platysmal Bands Treatment Options
at Prophile Clinics
Prophile Clinics offers a selection of advanced, non-surgical therapies to address visible platysmal bands and support skin rejuvenation in the neck area.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Anti-wrinkle treatment is commonly used to manage the underlying platysma muscle activity that contributes to neck banding. By targeting specific areas of muscle movement, these treatments may help reduce the prominence of vertical neck lines and prevent deepening over time.
PDO Threads
PDO threads can provide mechanical support beneath the skin’s surface, helping to reposition and tighten areas of mild to moderate laxity. When placed strategically, they may improve neck contour and reduce the visibility of neck bands by supporting the overlying tissue.
Ultraformer III
This non-invasive device uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening. Ultraformer III is well suited to treating skin laxity in the neck and jawline, which may reduce the appearance of sagging or banding in the area.
RF Microneedling
Combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, this treatment promotes the skin’s natural repair process while delivering thermal energy deep into the tissue. This can lead to firmer skin and improved tone across the neck region, supporting a smoother appearance over time.
Skin Booster
Skin Booster treatments are formulated to improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality in delicate areas such as the neck. By delivering targeted hydration beneath the skin’s surface, this treatment supports improved skin texture and firmness.
Laser Treatments
Laser therapies such as Erbium YAG rejuvenation or CO2 laser resurfacing may be used to support overall skin quality in the neck area. These treatments help stimulate collagen production and improve texture, which can enhance the appearance of ageing or lax skin. The most suitable laser modality for your needs will be discussed during your consultation.
Bio-Stimulators
Bio-stimulating treatments are designed to gradually support the skin’s natural collagen production, helping to improve firmness and elasticity. These therapies may complement other platysmal bands treatments by reinforcing skin structure over time. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate option based on your skin condition and goals.
How Much Does
Platysmal Bands Treatment Cost?

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any more questions about platysmal bands treatment or any of our other services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find more FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
What causes platysmal bands in the neck?
Platysmal bands develop as the platysma muscle becomes more active or prominent with age, facial movement, or skin laxity. Reduced collagen and thinning skin can make these bands more visible over time.
How to treat platysmal bands without surgery?
Non-surgical options include anti-wrinkle treatments, PDO threads, RF microneedling and ultrasound-based skin tightening. These approaches aim to relax muscle movement or improve skin firmness.
Do platysmal bands get worse with age?
Yes, platysmal bands can become more pronounced with age due to natural collagen loss, muscle activity and reduced skin elasticity in the neck.
Can ultrasound tighten platysmal bands?
Devices like Ultraformer III use focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, which can help firm the skin and reduce the appearance of neck banding.
What is the best treatment for vertical neck bands?
The best treatment depends on the cause: muscle movement, skin laxity, or both. A tailored plan may combine muscle-relaxing procedures with skin-tightening therapies.
Are PDO threads effective for neck bands?
PDO threads can support and reposition the tissue around the neck, helping to soften the appearance of platysmal bands by improving structural support beneath the skin.
How long do results from platysmal bands treatment last?
Results vary depending on the treatment type, skin quality and muscle activity. Most clients benefit from periodic maintenance to support longer-term results.
Is it possible to prevent platysmal bands from forming?
While they can’t always be prevented, using sun protection, maintaining good posture and supporting skin health with quality skincare may help reduce early signs.
