The Nefertiti Lift is a specialized Botox (botulinum toxin type A) technique used to treat neck lines and sagging in the lower face. Named after Queen Nefertiti, known for her elegant jawline and defined neck, this procedure provides a non-surgical solution to enhance neck contour and rejuvenate aging skin.
How Nefertiti Lift Botox Works
Botox is injected into the platysma muscle (a thin sheet-like muscle in the neck) to relax overactive contractions that cause the appearance of neck bands and sagging. The procedure works by:
- Relaxing Neck Bands: Softens the prominent vertical lines that form over time.
- Lifting the Jawline: Reduces the downward pull on the lower face, leading to a more youthful appearance.
- Smoothing Wrinkles: Minimizes horizontal neck creases for a refined look.
- Enhancing Facial Harmony: Provides a balanced and well-defined jawline.
Benefits of Nefertiti Lift Botox
- Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive: No incisions or downtime required.
- Quick and Effective: The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes with visible improvements in 1-2 weeks.
- Natural-Looking Results: Preserves facial expressions while enhancing definition.
- Prevents Premature Aging: Helps slow the formation of deeper lines and wrinkles.
- Boosts Skin Elasticity: Encourages collagen production for long-term firmness.
The Botox Treatment Process: Step by Step
- Consultation: A specialist assesses the patient’s neck and jawline to determine the optimal injection sites.
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and a numbing agent may be applied if necessary.
- Injection Process: Botox is carefully injected along the lower jawline and into the platysma muscle.
- Post-Treatment Care: Patients receive aftercare guidelines to ensure the best results.
- Follow-Up: Repeat treatments every 3-6 months for continued improvement.

- Initial Effects: Noticeable results begin to appear within 7-10 days.
- Long-Term Outcomes: Full effects develop within 2 weeks and last approximately 3-6 months.
- Maintenance Treatments: Regular sessions help sustain a youthful neck contour and prevent further aging.
Side Effects and Safety Considerations
While Botox for the neck is generally safe, potential side effects include:
- Temporary bruising or mild swelling at the injection site.
- Minor difficulty swallowing (rare and resolves within days).
- Muscle weakness or asymmetry if improperly administered (avoided with expert application).
