Should You Get Neck Botox? Here’s What You Need to Know

If we were granted three wishes, our first wish would be to look youthful forever. Unfortunately, that’s simply wishful thinking – and as we age, we must take care of more than just our face to get that radiant, youthful glow. The neck often shows signs of aging before the face and can develop wrinkles and fine lines. The neck is also prone to sagging skin, sometimes referred to as “turkey neck.” If you only treat the face for signs of aging, any improvements you make could be overshadowed by a visibly aging neck. This begs the question; can we treat aging in our neck the same way we treat it in our face? Can you get Botox for your neck? You can breathe a sigh of relief because the answer is yes! Neck Botox is a treatment gaining popularity among those who want to diminish visible signs of aging in their neck or get rid of its sagging skin. Read on to learn more about neck Botox, find out if you’re a good candidate for it, and learn the cost of treatment.

What Is Neck Botox?

Neck Botox is a safe, non-invasive, injectable treatment that freezes muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s commonly used in the face but is also highly effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the neck. Another common sign of aging in the neck is sagging skin that loosens due to loss of collagen and elasticity. Can Botox also be used to tighten the neck and eliminate sagging skin as well? It sure can! The procedure is commonly called a non-surgical neck lift. To treat this, Botox relaxes the muscle bands on the side of the neck that stretch from the collarbone to the jawline which firms the sagging skin and will leave your neck looking taut instead of tired.

Who Should Try Neck Botox?

Visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin can make you a good candidate for neck Botox. The injections take about thirty minutes and there is no downtime after treatment. The same post-appointment rules for facial Botox apply to neck Botox — refrain from laying down for four hours post-injection and cease physical activity for 24 hours. This prevents the Botox from migrating and keeps it in the muscles you want to be tightened and wrinkle-free. Botox is completely safe for fine lines on the neck and sagging, but if there’s any reason you have been advised to avoid Botox injections in your face, or if you’re pregnant or lactating, you should skip neck Botox. As always, before treatment please consult with your medical provider.

How Much Does Neck Botox Cost?

This treatment is fast, simple, and dare we say affordable! So, how much is Botox for the neck? Typically, it will run you about $300-$500. The cost is determined by how many units you need, which depends on the severity of your wrinkles, fine lines, or sagging skin. While the cost is reasonable it is an investment so you might be wondering how long neck Botox lasts— it can last up to six months! If you’re unsure if this treatment is for you, start with a small number of units. See if you like the results and if you do, ask for additional units in six months for a smoother, more rejuvenated neck.

The Final Verdict

Neck Botox is a simple, safe, non-surgical option for tackling wrinkles, fine lines, or sagging skin. The procedure is quick, relatively painless, and highly effective. If you’re unhappy with the way your neck is aging, neck Botox is the perfect treatment for you. Your neck Botox before and after photos be as dramatically different as night and day.
