hey it’s Dominic from wall medical arts
0:00:03.449,0:00:08.820
and today I’m gonna teach you about how
0:00:05.970,0:00:11.040
the Botox the neck in particular the
0:00:08.820,0:00:14.639
main muscles that we do are called the
0:00:11.040,0:00:17.609
platysmal bands now in general Botox is
0:00:14.639,0:00:19.710
a muscle relaxant and when you relax a
0:00:17.609,0:00:23.519
muscle that’s a depressor meaning that
0:00:19.710,0:00:25.800
it pulls down it lifts so with Botox we
0:00:23.519,0:00:28.260
can do a lot of lifting as well as
0:00:25.800,0:00:30.359
getting rid of wrinkles in particular in
0:00:28.260,0:00:32.640
the low face there are some muscles that
0:00:30.359,0:00:34.649
are depressors these muscles right here
0:00:32.640,0:00:37.680
are called your da OS the depressor
0:00:34.649,0:00:40.649
anguli oris they cause the Pregel
0:00:37.680,0:00:42.840
when you Botox them they were left this
0:00:40.649,0:00:45.420
muscle right through here is superficial
0:00:42.840,0:00:48.750
it’s called the platysmal sheath it
0:00:45.420,0:00:51.510
pulls down when we Botox here it lifts
0:00:48.750,0:00:54.480
and then in the neck you can do the
0:00:51.510,0:00:56.399
central band and those platysmal bands
0:00:54.480,0:00:58.770
now these are the muscles right here
0:00:56.399,0:01:00.539
though the platysmal bands they’re hard
0:00:58.770,0:01:03.149
to see on me because I’ve got them Botox
0:01:00.539,0:01:05.990
but you go like this and you can see
0:01:03.149,0:01:09.390
them pop out so we grab up the band
0:01:05.990,0:01:11.790
Botox the insertion point and down the
0:01:09.390,0:01:14.490
band normally this muscle would pull
0:01:11.790,0:01:18.030
down but when we Botox and relax it it
0:01:14.490,0:01:20.520
lifts up so it really does keep the neck
0:01:18.030,0:01:23.159
nice and tight and kind of makes the
0:01:20.520,0:01:25.700
jawline look a bit more contoured the
0:01:23.159,0:01:28.920
only downfall is it’ll take quite a few
0:01:25.700,0:01:31.619
minutes the bigger the muscle is the
0:01:28.920,0:01:34.290
stronger it is the more Botox it’ll take
0:01:31.619,0:01:37.290
now some people have as many as like six
0:01:34.290,0:01:39.840
platysmal bands like two four six some
0:01:37.290,0:01:42.420
people will just have four but you want
0:01:39.840,0:01:44.100
at least 12 units in each band so you
0:01:42.420,0:01:46.890
could see how that would add up so
0:01:44.100,0:01:49.590
sometimes I’ll just do 24 and sometime
0:01:46.890,0:01:52.079
it can take up to 40 to 60 units it
0:01:49.590,0:01:54.329
really just depends on how strong your
0:01:52.079,0:01:56.820
muscles are how big they are and what
0:01:54.329,0:01:59.009
kind of result you want to get for more
