Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effects of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of platysma prominence. Study doctors will randomize participants into 1 of the 2 groups, called treatment arms. There is a 1 in 2 chance that a participant will be assigned to placebo. Around 400 participants will be enrolled in the study across approximately 35 sites in USA, Belgium, Canada, Germany and the UK. Participants will receive a single treatment of intramuscular injection of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) or placebo on Day 1 during this 4 month long study. Participants will attend regular monthly visits during the study at the study site.
