Dr Randal Haworth of Beverly Hills had discovered an incredibly effective way of diminishing those troublesome horizontal neck lines.

Only until recently has an effective method to erase horizontal neck lines or groves if you will been developed. Plastic surgeons have only offered neck lifts as a way to smooth these lines out and despite their efficacy in restoring youthful jawline and correct a “turkey neck”, they feel short in terms of treating those aging horizontal neck lines. As an alternative Botulinum toxin (Botox™, Dysport™, Xeomen™) can be injected into the platysmal bands of the neck and though it can “lift” the neck and lessen the aging cords of the neck, it does little to nothing to remove the horizontal lines.

I have found that judicious use of a filler strategically injected under magnification into the precise layer below the horizontal grooves can dramatically decrease or even erase the stubborn lines. I usually start with a temporary filler such as Juvederm™ or Radiesse™ and once the patient is satisfied, I can then graduate to a permanent filler such as Artefill™., one the former substances dissipate .

Here is a typical example of a before and after of a filler to the horizontal lines to the neck:
