Neck Wrinkles Explained: How Horizontal and Vertical Lines Are Different

Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB.

Neck wrinkles often reveal signs of aging earlier than the face — yet they’re often overlooked.

Importantly, neck wrinkles can be divided into two types: horizontal lines and vertical bands. Each has a different cause and needs a customized treatment approach.

Causes and Treatments for Horizontal Neck Lines

• What it looks like: Lines running horizontally across the neck
• Main causes: Aging, skin thinning, reduced collagen, smartphone posture

  • DoubleTite: Combines RF and HIFU energy for skin tightening and remodeling
  • Filler: Precisely fills deep-set lines for immediate smoothing effects

Causes and Treatments for Vertical Neck Bands

• What it looks like: Vertical bands or cords at the front of the neck
• Main cause: Contraction and overactivity of the platysma muscle
• Treatment option at YSBB:
  • Platysma Botox: Relaxes the muscle, visibly softening vertical bands

Summary – Horizontal vs Vertical Neck Lines

• Horizontal Lines: Caused by skin aging → Treat with JuveLook + DoubleTite + Filler
• Vertical Bands: Caused by platysma muscle tension → Treat with Botox

Final Thoughts

Early intervention leads to better, faster results when treating neck wrinkles.

Horizontal lines require skin-level collagen support, while vertical bands are mainly due to muscle activity and need a different strategy.
