Nefertiti Neck Lift

Service Description

The Nefertiti neck lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure named after the famous Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, renowned for her elongated, smooth neck and defined jawline. This treatment involves the use of botulinum toxin injections to redefine the jawline and soften the appearance of the neck, creating a more youthful and elegant silhouette. The procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes and begins with a consultation to discuss the client's aesthetic goals and to evaluate the specific areas of the neck and lower jaw that need enhancement. The practitioner will map out the strategic points along the lower jaw and down the neck where the platysma muscle bands are visible or where skin sagging is apparent. The target areas are cleansed, and botulinum toxin is injected into the platysma muscle bands. By relaxing these muscles, the downward pull on the jawline is reduced, which helps to lift the area and improve the definition between the jaw and neck. Additionally, relaxing the neck muscles can reduce the appearance of "turkey neck" or prominent vertical bands. Recovery from a Nefertiti neck lift is minimal, with no significant downtime required. Patients might experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside quickly. The lifting and smoothing effects become noticeable within a week and continue to improve over the next couple of weeks. The results generally last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual's muscle tone and the amount of botulinum toxin used. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the enhanced contour and youthful appearance.
