Nefertiti Neck Lift

Named after Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, the Nefertiti Neck Lift specifically targets the neck and jawline, using toxin for a rejuvenating and lifting effect. It is a relatively new technique, where multiple wrinkle injections are placed along the lower jawline, as well as the neck

along the platysma muscles. By administering injections in specific areas, it is possible to improve jawline definition, rebalance underlying muscles, and lift the neck and jawline.

Ageing around the jawline and the neck are the main reasons why some women look older than they actually are. Over time loss of muscle tone, skin fat and gravitational pull lead to the appearance of the famous ‘turkey neck’. The contour of the jawline disappears and platysmal bands look more prominent.

The Nefertiti neck lift technique which involves placing multiple injections of Botox horizontally along the lower jawline and vertically down the side of the neck along the platysmal band muscles. These bands are what pull down on the lower side of the face and aggravate the jowls. The effect is to improve the definition of the jawline, relax the jowls, and provide an ‘upward lifting effect’ in the neck and jaw area.
