Neck bands & necklace lines — clinical consultation
A calm, clinician-led assessment for vertical neck bands and horizontal “necklace” lines. We review anatomy, habits and goals, then discuss sensible options — including injection-based approaches where clinically indicated.

ApproachAnatomy review, risks, options
DowntimeUsually minimal for most options
Follow-upOptional review at ~2–4 weeks
How we help
Vertical bands are related to platysma muscle activity; horizontal “necklace” lines reflect skin folding, hydration and collagen changes. In consultation we identify what’s driving your concern and outline a plan. Where appropriate, a clinician may discuss targeted injection protocols (not advertised here), alongside supportive skin-quality treatments and at-home measures.

Neck bands or necklace lines?
Platysmal bands
Vertical cords that show on speech/animation. Options may include targeted muscle-relaxing injections (subject to face-to-face suitability).
Necklace lines
Horizontal creases from folding + skin quality. Often respond best to skin-quality support (hydration, collagen stimulation, gentle resurfacing).
Why it matters
Correct identification guides whether muscle-focused or skin-focused approaches (or a staged combination) are sensible.
What to expect
1
Assessment
History, animation patterns, skin quality, posture/“tech neck” habits. Clear photos help track change.
2
Plan
We explain options: posture tweaks, skincare, peels/resurfacing, collagen-stimulating procedures, and — where appropriate — injection-based approaches.
3
Review
Optional follow-up ~2–4 weeks to assess response and refine cadence. Written aftercare provided for any procedure.
Options we may discuss
Skin-quality & care
Barrier-friendly moisturisers, daily SPF, and actives like vitamin C/niacinamide. Hydration helps necklace lines appear softer.
Gentle resurfacing
Chemical peels or micro-polish to refine texture and tone (cautious strengths on the neck).
Collagen stimulation
Microneedling or fractional resurfacing for creases/texture — tailored settings for delicate neck skin.
Skin boosters
Hydrating injectables to improve glow and fine creasing (device-based, not a POM).
Targeted injections
Muscle-relaxing injections for platysmal activity may be discussed if clinically appropriate after a face-to-face assessment.
Lifestyle & posture
Screen-time ergonomics, pillow height, and neck mobility work can reduce folding patterns.

Will I look “over-treated”?
Our approach favours subtle, natural movement. Where injections are appropriate, dosing and placement are conservative and individualised.
How soon might I see change?
Timelines vary by option: skin-quality and resurfacing build gradually; if injection-based treatment is suitable, onset and duration are discussed in clinic.
Is the neck safe to treat?
Neck skin is delicate and anatomy-sensitive. We use cautious parameters, explain risks and provide clear aftercare.
Can you combine treatments?
Often yes — for example, muscle-focused plus skin-quality support — staged safely for comfort and results.
