Although results vary from patient to patient, some have seen results last over a year and a half. Many patients can expect results to last between twelve to eighteen months.
Neck Band Treatment with ThermiRase Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Neck bands are caused by the involuntary movement of muscles controlled by motor nerves. Botox and other neurotoxins temporarily inhibit the signal transmission from these motor nerves to the muscles. These chemical neuromodulators usually work for 3-4 months before another treatment is necessary. ThermiRase is a micro-injectable procedure that uses radiofrequency to ablate the nerve. The results are immediate and last much longer (up to 18 months), avoiding the injection of a toxin.
Generally, only one ThermiRase treatment is needed to relax the neck bands and reduce their appearance.
Results are noticed immediately after one treatment. Many patients have also seen a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the neck bands.
