FDA Approval Marks a Milestone for Non-Surgical Neck Rejuvenation
The recent FDA approval of Botox® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) for the treatment of moderate to severe platysmal bands offers patients a minimally invasive solution for smoother neck contours. Platysmal bands, the vertical lines that connect the jawline to the neck, are often associated with aging or muscle activity, and their prominence can detract from an otherwise youthful appearance.
Botox® Cosmetic is now the only product FDA-approved for four aesthetic indications: frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and platysmal bands. This advancement enhances the portfolio of aesthetic solutions for patients seeking comprehensive facial and neck rejuvenation without surgery.
