The platysma muscle is the area that tenses when you pull the corners of your mouth as far to the sides as possible, andA muscle that pulls the entire face downward.As we get older, we tend to get overly nervous, andMore and more people are experiencing aging concerns such as “my jawline is starting to sag” and “I can see my age in my neck.”
Botox injections into the platysma muscle help relieve muscle tension in the platysma, addressing wrinkles at the base of the neck and sagging in the face—particularly in the lower half. This treatment can provide a natural lift to the jawline, reduce nasolabial folds and neck wrinkles, and create a slimmer facial appearance, resulting in a youthful and refined look.

YAYOI CLINIC's
Botox for the sternocleidomastoid muscle
Why Choose Us
Proposing the Ideal Facial Contour Based on the Golden Ratio
At YAYOI CLINIC, we utilize the “Imaizumi Method®” injection technique, developed by Dr. Akiko Imaizumi, Director of Imaizumi Skin Clinic (part of the Seisenkai Medical Corporation) and a renowned specialist in cosmetic dermatology. We offer injection plans based on Dr. Imaizumi’s anatomical knowledge, the golden ratio, and meticulous contour designs tailored to each patient’s individual facial features.
A pain-sensitive, low-impact facelift procedure
For Botox injections at YAYOI CLINIC, we use the injection method developed by BIANCA CLINIC, a clinic specializing in advanced cosmetic procedures primarily in Ginza, Tokyo. The BIANCA-style injection method features a proprietary formulation called “Pain-Free Botox,” designed to minimize injection pain. Additionally, we use ultra-fine 34G 2mm needles (about as thin as two strands of hair).
While Botox injections into the sternocleidomastoid muscle are generally considered a relatively painless procedure, the perception of pain varies from person to person, and some patients may feel anxious, thinking, “I’m scared of getting an injection in my neck…” or “I’m worried because I have a low pain tolerance.” At our clinic, in addition to our proprietary formulation designed to minimize pain, we also offer anesthetic cream; please feel free to consult with us.
Can be combined with other treatments, such as jawline Botox and HIFU
Botox injections for the sternocleidomastoid muscle can also be combined with other treatments. At YAYOI CLINIC, our experienced physicians will assess your suitability and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
For example, we may recommend Micro-Botox for those looking to improve their skin texture, or treatments for sagging skin—such as HIFU—for those seeking a more pronounced firming effect. If you’d like a comprehensive treatment plan to address a variety of concerns, please discuss your options with us during your consultation.

Flow of treatment
counseling
After cleansing and washing your face, a doctor will discuss your concerns and desired results with you and examine the condition of your neck and jawline. Please feel free to discuss any concerns or requests regarding the treatment during the consultation.
medical treatment (esp. surgical)
If you agree to the treatment plan we’ve proposed, we will proceed with the procedure. For patients concerned about pain, we’ll apply an anesthetic cream and carefully inject the solution along the platysma muscle. The recommended dosage for platysma Botox is approximately 40 to 60 units. We will carefully adjust the injection sites and dosage while assessing each patient’s muscle tone and skeletal structure to ensure a natural appearance. Although results vary by individual, the procedure typically takes about 10 minutes.
After treatment
We will check the condition of the treated area. If everything looks fine, you may apply makeup and go home. You may bathe and wash your face starting the day of your treatment, but please be careful not to rub or scrub the treated area too hard.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do the effects of Botox injections into the platysma muscle start to show?
Although results vary from person to person, muscle tension typically begins to ease 2 to 3 days after the injection, and in many cases, patients notice a lifting effect and improvement in neck wrinkles within about 1 to 2 weeks.
Doesn't it hurt much to get a shot in the neck?
Although individual experiences may vary, we use an ultra-fine needle and cool the area as we go, so you’ll only feel a slight prick. For those concerned about pain, we also offer anesthetic cream.
Are there any side effects, such as being unable to smile or swallow, after a Botox treatment for the sternocleidomastoid muscle?
As long as the proper injection sites and dosage are followed, it is generally considered that there will be virtually no impact on facial expressions, speech, or eating. The procedure is performed by an experienced physician with knowledge of anatomy.
Is Botox for the sternocleidomastoid muscle effective for stiff shoulders?
Since the sternocleidomastoid muscle is located close to the trapezius muscle—which causes stiff shoulders—there are apparently cases where patients feel that their stiff shoulders have improved because the Botox solution injected into the sternocleidomastoid muscle has spread to the trapezius muscle as well. However, since this is strictly a secondary effect and results vary greatly from person to person, we do not recommend undergoing the procedure specifically for the purpose of relieving stiff shoulders.
How often is it best to come in?
To ensure the effects last, we recommend regular maintenance every 3 to 4 months.
Can I exercise or take a bath on the day of my treatment?
Please refrain from activities that promote blood circulation, such as strenuous exercise, long baths, and saunas.
What happens if I stop Botox injections for the platysma muscle?
As time passes after the treatment and its effects wear off, your muscles will gradually return to their original state. Stopping the treatment will not cause sagging or wrinkles to worsen compared to before you started.
What is the difference between Botox for the platysma muscle and Botox for the masseter muscle?
Jaw Botox is a procedure that relaxes the "chewing muscles (masseter muscles)" to reduce the size of the jawline and tighten the facial contours. On the other hand, platysma Botox relaxes the "downward-pulling muscles" to lift the face.
What is the difference between Botox for the platysma muscle and the Nefertiti Lift?
Although the name varies depending on the clinic, it essentially refers to the same procedure. The "Nefertiti Lift" is a specific term used to describe the effects of Botox injections into the platysma muscle, which are "neck tightening and a beautiful jawline."
