FDA Approves BOTOX® Cosmetic for Platysma Bands in the Neck

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) has received FDA approval for the treatment of moderate to severe vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck, known as platysma bands, in adults. Platysma bands are vertical cords that become prominent due to aging or muscle activity, and Botox® injections can relax these muscles for a smoother neck contour.

This approval makes BOTOX® Cosmetic the only product of its kind authorized for four aesthetic indications: it can temporarily improve the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, and now platysmal bands in the neck. The approval offers a non-surgical, injectable option to temporarily improve the appearance of neck bands. Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, announced this advancement, highlighting its significance in providing patients with a new aesthetic solution. Clinical trials demonstrated significant improvements, expanding treatment options for both patients and providers.
