Botulinum toxin type A relaxes the platysma muscle to soften neck bands and refine the jawline, with results that typically last 3 to 4 months.
Neck botox in Seoul uses botulinum toxin type A injected into the platysma, the broad neck muscle, to soften vertical neck bands and ease the downward pull on the jawline, a technique often called the Nefertiti lift. The treatment takes about 15 to 20 minutes, results emerge within 1 to 2 weeks, and effects usually last 3 to 4 months.

Neck botox is the use of botulinum toxin type A, a purified neuromodulator, to relax the platysma, a thin, broad muscle that runs from the collarbone up across the neck and onto the lower face. With age, the platysma can form visible vertical bands and pull downward on the jawline, blurring its definition. Relaxing the muscle softens these bands and releases that downward tension, helping the lower face and neck look smoother.
At Reberry Clinic, treatment is consultation-led. The clinic’s doctors ask you to tense the neck so the platysma bands stand out, then map placement along the bands and the jaw margin. The Nefertiti-style technique places small doses along the upper platysma to allow the jawline to lift subtly while neck bands relax.
Neck botox suits patients bothered by visible neck bands or a softening jawline who are not ready for surgery. English support is available across our three Seoul-area locations (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport).
Botulinum toxin type A is a neuromodulator that temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, the chemical signal that tells a muscle to contract. When small doses are placed along the platysma bands and the jaw margin, the muscle pulls down less on the lower face, so the jawline looks smoother and slightly lifted while vertical neck bands soften. The effect is reversible: as nerve terminals regenerate over several months, platysma activity returns and bands reappear, which is why maintenance sessions are needed to keep the neck and jawline refined.

The doctor has you tense the neck to expose the platysma bands and plan placement across roughly 10 to 20 small points.
Tiny doses of botulinum toxin type A are injected along the bands and jaw margin over about 15 to 20 minutes.
The toxin blocks acetylcholine release, so the platysma contracts less within 3 to 7 days.
As the muscle relaxes, vertical bands soften and the jawline pull eases, with full effect by around 2 weeks.
Activity returns over 3 to 4 months as nerve signalling recovers, so maintenance sessions sustain results.

The clinic’s doctors assess your platysma bands and jawline, asking you to tense the neck, and plan dose and placement in English.
The injections take about 15 to 20 minutes; ice or topical numbing keeps the visit comfortable.
You can usually return to normal activities right away, avoiding rubbing the neck for a few hours.
Bands begin softening within 1 to 2 weeks, with the full effect at around 2 to 4 weeks.
Results last about 3 to 4 months; repeat sessions maintain smoother neck bands and a refined jawline.
Neck botox is the injection of botulinum toxin type A into the platysma, the broad neck muscle, to soften vertical neck bands and ease the downward pull on the jawline. This technique is often called the Nefertiti lift. Results appear within 1 to 2 weeks and typically last 3 to 4 months before a repeat session.
Neck botox usually lasts about 3 to 4 months, after which platysma activity returns and bands gradually reappear. With regular maintenance, some patients find the bands stay softer for longer. Dosing is individualised on our botox injection page, and most schedule three to four sessions a year.
You will typically notice band softening within 1 to 2 weeks, with the full effect developing by around 2 to 4 weeks as the platysma fully relaxes. Vertical bands that stand out when you tense respond first. The jawline pull also eases over this period, giving a subtly smoother, more lifted lower-face line.
Discomfort is minimal, described as brief pinprick sensations during the many small, shallow injections along the bands. The needles are very fine, and ice or topical numbing can be used for sensitive patients. The whole process takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and any stinging fades almost immediately after each injection point.
Downtime is minimal, and most patients return to daily activities right away. You may see tiny red marks or, rarely, a small bruise along the neck that settles within a few days. Avoid rubbing or massaging the neck and vigorous exercise for several hours so the product settles where intended.
The Nefertiti lift is a neck botox technique that places small doses along the upper platysma and jaw margin so the muscle pulls down less, letting the jawline look subtly lifted and more defined. It was named after the sharp jawline of the ancient Egyptian queen. Your doctor decides if it suits your anatomy during the consultation.
Adults with visible vertical platysma bands or a softening jawline driven by muscle pull are ideal candidates. If heavy skin laxity is the main issue, muscle relaxation alone gives limited change and other treatments may suit better. A consultation confirms suitability. Explore related options on our botox injection page.
Neck dosing is individualised, spreading small amounts across roughly 10 to 20 points along the bands and jaw margin, since the platysma is broad and superficial. Your doctor sets the exact dose after assessing band strength. You can read about treatment planning on our botox injection page.
No, neck botox softens muscle bands and eases jawline pull, but it does not remove excess skin or fat the way surgery does. It suits early or moderate band concerns and patients not ready for surgery. Your doctor explains realistic expectations and when other treatments or surgical referral may be more appropriate during your consultation.
Yes, it pairs well with energy-based skin tightening for laxity and with masseter or jawline botox for overall lower-face balance. Your doctor sequences these safely in one plan. To understand volume and contouring options that complement neck treatment, see our injectable fillers page.
Common effects are brief redness, tiny bruises, or mild tenderness along the neck that resolve within days. Less commonly, temporary neck weakness or difficulty with certain movements can occur if doses are high, settling over weeks. Serious reactions are rare with proper, conservative technique. Share your full medical history to reduce any risk beforehand.
Botulinum toxin type A has a well-documented safety record for platysma bands when administered by trained doctors using careful, shallow placement and conservative doses. Effects are temporary as the body restores nerve signalling over months. Choosing an experienced clinic and precise dosing matters far more than chasing the most dramatic neck change possible.
Aftercare is simple: stay upright for about 4 hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the neck, and skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol that day. Pairing with a gentle skin care routine supports the skin. Your doctor provides written guidance to follow once you leave the clinic.
Neck botox needs very little time, so even a 1 to 2 day visit works for consultation and treatment. Because there is minimal downtime, you can sightsee the same day, though band softening itself develops over the following weeks at home. Our English-speaking team helps fit the appointment into a short trip to Seoul.
Yes, you can fly the same day, since the treatment is quick and non-invasive. Try to stay upright during the first few hours rather than reclining immediately, and avoid rubbing the neck. Cabin pressure does not affect the result, so air travel after neck botox is generally not a concern for visitors.
International patients can have remote check-ins in English about two weeks after treatment to confirm the result and plan repeat sessions around future trips. You can also arrange complementary care such as skin care when you return. Your dosing notes are kept on file for consistency between visits.
