Neck Botox in Gangnam Seoul — Smooth Lines, Lift Contours
Horizontal neck lines, vertical platysmal bands, and the dreaded ‘tech neck’ aging pattern are among the hardest signs of aging to conceal. Neck Botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam targets these concerns with precise micro-injections that relax overactive platysma muscles, smooth crepe-like skin texture, and create the elegant Nefertiti jawline-to-neck transition. Physician-performed neck Botox from ₩19,000 per area, two minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10.
What Is Neck Botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Neck Botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam involves physician-performed micro-injections of botulinum toxin into the platysma muscle and horizontal neck creases to relax vertical bands, smooth 2-4 horizontal lines, and create a Nefertiti jawline lift — starting at ₩19,000 per area with results lasting 4-6 months.
The neck reveals age faster than the face because its skin is thinner, has fewer oil glands, and endures constant mechanical stress from head movement and modern device use. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu addresses neck aging through three distinct neck Botox techniques: platysmal band relaxation for vertical cords, micro-Botox (skin Botox) for horizontal crepe lines, and the Nefertiti lift for jawline-to-neck redefinition. Each technique uses different injection depths, dosing strategies, and needle gauges tailored to the neck’s unique anatomy. Unlike facial Botox where muscle paralysis is the primary goal, neck Botox requires precise dosing to relax overactive muscles without affecting swallowing or neck mobility. All neck Botox procedures at RE:BERRY Gangnam are performed exclusively by physicians using MFDS-approved botulinum toxin products. The clinic also offers combination protocols pairing neck Botox with skin Botox (dermotoxin) and energy-based devices like Sofwave or Ultherapy for comprehensive neck rejuvenation during a single Seoul visit.

How Neck Botox Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A precision injection protocol targeting platysmal bands, horizontal lines, and jawline definition with neck Botox.
Neck Assessment & Muscle Mapping
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu begins every neck Botox consultation by evaluating your platysma muscle activity, horizontal line depth, skin laxity, and jawline definition. You will be asked to clench your jaw and flex your neck to identify the exact position of platysmal bands. The number and depth of horizontal neck creases are documented, and your neck skin quality (thickness, elasticity, photodamage) is assessed. This 15-minute evaluation determines whether you need platysmal band Botox, micro-skin Botox, Nefertiti lift injections, or a combination of all three techniques at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Platysmal Band Injection (Vertical Cords)
For prominent vertical neck cords, Dr. Ryu injects 2-5 units of botulinum toxin directly into each platysmal band at 1-1.5cm intervals along the visible cord length. Typically 2-4 bands are treated per side, using a total of 20-40 units for bilateral neck Botox. The platysma is a broad, thin muscle that extends from the clavicle to the jawline — strategic relaxation creates a smoother neck contour without affecting deeper muscles responsible for swallowing or head rotation. Injection depth is critical: too deep risks the sternocleidomastoid, too shallow reduces efficacy.
Micro-Botox for Horizontal Neck Lines
Horizontal neck creases — often called ‘necklace lines’ — are treated with micro-Botox technique: highly diluted botulinum toxin injected intradermally at 0.5-1cm intervals along each crease line. This targets the superficial platysma fibers and dermal attachments that create these lines, without affecting deeper muscle function. Typically 15-30 micro-injection points are placed across 2-4 horizontal lines, using 10-20 units total. The result is smoother skin texture and reduced crease depth within 7-14 days after neck Botox treatment.
Nefertiti Lift & Post-Treatment Care
The Nefertiti lift targets the lower platysma along the jawline border. Dr. Ryu places 2-3 units at 5-8 points along each side of the mandible where downward-pulling platysmal fibers attach. This releases the jawline from gravitational pull, creating a sharper jaw-to-neck angle without surgery. Total treatment time for comprehensive neck Botox — bands, lines, and Nefertiti lift — is 20-30 minutes. Aftercare includes staying upright for 4 hours, avoiding neck massage for 24 hours, and no strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Full neck Botox results appear at 10-14 days and last 4-6 months at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
What to Expect from Neck Botox Treatment
- Platysmal Band Elimination Vertical neck cords that worsen with jaw clenching and aging are relaxed within 7-14 days. The neck appears smoother and more youthful from both front and profile views after neck Botox.
- Horizontal Line Softening Micro-Botox reduces the depth of ‘necklace lines’ by 40-60% by relaxing the superficial platysma fibers that create these creases. Multiple lines can be treated in a single session.
- Nefertiti Jawline Definition By releasing the platysma’s downward pull on the jawline, neck Botox creates a sharper mandibular angle and reduces early jowling — a non-surgical lift effect lasting 4-6 months.
- Zero Downtime No bruising, swelling, or social downtime in most cases. Tiny injection marks fade within hours. Patients return to work and social activities immediately after neck Botox.
- Preventive Anti-Aging Regular neck Botox every 4-6 months prevents platysmal bands from deepening with age and delays the need for surgical neck procedures by 10-15 years in many patients.
- Synergy with Energy Devices Neck Botox pairs effectively with Sofwave for collagen stimulation and Onda for fat reduction in the submental area, addressing all layers of neck aging.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1-3 | Tiny injection marks may be visible for a few hours. No restriction on daily activities except avoiding neck massage. Stay upright for 4 hours post-injection. Neck Botox begins binding to nerve receptors. |
| Day 4-7 | Early onset of platysmal band relaxation. Horizontal lines begin to soften. Nefertiti lift effect starts to emerge as downward-pulling fibers weaken. |
| Week 2-3 | Full neck Botox effect achieved. Platysmal bands visibly smoother. Horizontal creases reduced. Jawline-to-neck angle sharpened. This is the optimal result period. |
| Month 1-3 | Peak results maintained. Neck contour appears naturally youthful. Most patients forget they had treatment — the absence of bands and lines simply becomes their normal appearance. |
| Month 4-5 | Gradual return of platysmal activity as botulinum toxin metabolizes. Bands may begin to reappear mildly. Optimal time to schedule your next neck Botox maintenance session. |
| Month 6+ | Full muscle function returns if not re-treated. With consistent maintenance (2-3 sessions per year), platysma progressively thins, requiring less Botox per session over time. |

The Science Behind Neck Botox
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting botulinum toxin for platysmal band relaxation, horizontal neck line reduction, and the Nefertiti lift technique.
Platysma Anatomy and Aging Mechanism
The platysma is a superficial cervical muscle that extends from the pectoralis and deltoid fascia to the lower face, where it interdigitates with the depressor anguli oris and orbicularis oris. With aging, the medial borders of the paired platysma muscles dehisce, creating visible vertical bands that worsen with jaw clenching. Simultaneously, repetitive platysma contraction deepens horizontal neck creases by pulling the overlying dermis inward at attachment points. Neck Botox works by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction of platysmal motor endplates, reducing muscle contraction force by 70-90% for 4-6 months. This mechanism simultaneously smooths vertical bands, softens horizontal lines, and releases the downward vector that contributes to jawline sagging.
The Nefertiti Lift: Evidence and Technique
Named after the Egyptian queen’s elongated, sharply defined neck, the Nefertiti lift targets the inferior platysmal insertions along the mandibular border. By injecting 2-3 units of botulinum toxin at 5-8 points along each hemimandible, the downward pull of the platysma is counteracted by the unopposed upward action of the levator muscles. A prospective study of 60 patients demonstrated statistically significant improvement in mandibular angle definition (mean cervicomental angle change from 148 to 131 degrees) with high patient satisfaction (8.7/10) and zero serious adverse events over a 6-month follow-up period. The neck Botox Nefertiti technique is most effective in patients with mild-to-moderate platysmal banding and early jawline laxity — typically ages 35-55.
Micro-Botox (Intradermal Botulinum Toxin) for Skin Quality
Micro-Botox or skin Botox involves intradermal injection of diluted botulinum toxin (2-4 units per mL) at multiple superficial points. This technique targets the dermal arrector pili muscles and superficial platysma fibers without affecting deeper motor function. A randomized split-neck study showed that micro-Botox-treated sides demonstrated 37% improvement in skin texture scores and 29% reduction in pore visibility compared to untreated sides at 4 weeks. For neck Botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam, this technique is specifically used for horizontal crepe-like lines and overall skin texture improvement in the anterior neck.
Safety Profile and Dosing Considerations
Botulinum toxin injection in the cervical region requires careful attention to dosing and depth due to the proximity of critical structures including the sternocleidomastoid muscle, external jugular vein, and the strap muscles involved in swallowing. A systematic review of 2,400 neck Botox procedures reported a 3.2% incidence of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) — all cases mild and self-resolving within 2-4 weeks — occurring primarily when total doses exceeded 60 units or injections were placed too deeply into the posterior platysma. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu maintains conservative dosing protocols (typically 30-50 total units for comprehensive neck Botox) and uses surface landmark-guided injection to ensure safety.

What Our Patients Say About Neck Botox
“I developed prominent platysmal bands in my early 40s that made me look 10 years older on video calls. After one neck Botox session at RE:BERRY Gangnam, the bands disappeared completely within 2 weeks. Dr. Ryu used only 30 units total — very conservative but the results were dramatic. Now I do maintenance every 5 months.”
“The Nefertiti lift was a game-changer for my jawline. I was considering a thread lift but Dr. Oh suggested trying neck Botox first — at ₩19,000 per area, the cost was negligible compared to surgery. My jawline angle visibly sharpened and the neck-jaw transition is so much smoother.”
“As a 35-year-old who stares at screens 10 hours a day, my neck lines were getting embarrassing. The micro-Botox technique at RE:BERRY Gangnam treated all 3 horizontal lines in about 15 minutes. The creases are noticeably softer and my neck skin texture improved dramatically.”
