Botox Wins FDA Approval for Lower Face and Neck as EveLab Adds 3D AI Neck Scans

2 articles · Updated · Harper's BAZAAR · Jun 23

Summary

  • Botox has now secured FDA approval for treating the lower face and neck, giving injectors a studied, standardized approach to platysma bands that had long been treated off-label.
  • That approval comes as demand rises for neck treatments driven by earlier visible aging, thinner collagen in the area and “tech neck” lines from repeated downward screen use.
  • EveLab Insight said its Eve V platform—already used by brands including Shiseido, Beiersdorf, Dior and Amorepacific—will expand from facial analysis to AI-powered neck scans for brands and doctors next year.
  • Newer neck options also include Ultherapy Prime, which aims to tighten skin over 2 to 3 months, and QuantumRF, which doctors say can deliver near-immediate results with about 1 day of recovery.
  • Doctors still frame neck care as a multimodal market rather than a single-product fix, combining topicals such as retinol with injectables, devices and at-home light therapy.
