What is a Nefertiti Neck Lift?

The Nefertiti neck lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses Botox injections to rejuvenate and lift the lower face, jawline, and neck.

This treatment is designed to create a more defined jawline and a smoother, more youthful neck appearance.

Unlike traditional surgical neck lifts, the Nefertiti neck lift relies on the strategic placement of Botox to relax specific muscles, allowing the opposing muscles to lift and tighten the area naturally. This procedure is often referred to as a “Nefertiti Botox” treatment or a “Botox neck lift,” and it has gained popularity for its ability to deliver noticeable results without the need for invasive surgery.

How Does the Nefertiti Neck Lift Work?

The Nefertiti neck lift works by targeting the platysma muscle, a broad, thin sheet of muscle that extends from the collarbone to the jawline. As we age, the platysma muscle can become more pronounced, leading to the formation of vertical bands or cords in the neck, as well as a loss of definition in the jawline. By administering Botox into specific points along the platysma muscle, the treatment relaxes these muscles, reducing their pull on the skin, allowing the muscles in the upper face and jawline to lift and tighten. The outcome: a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

The number of injections and the amount of Botox used will vary depending on the individual’s anatomy and desired results, with the entire process taking approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The cost of the treatment varies, starting from £450.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Nefertiti Neck Lift?

The Nefertiti neck lift is an excellent option for patients who want to address signs of ageing in the lower face and neck without undergoing surgery. Some of the concerns we are presented with include patients:

  • With a loss of jawline definition
  • Who have sagging skin or jowls
  • With neck wrinkles or bands
  • Who frequently tense their neck muscles
  • Who have experienced weight loss

 

It’s important to note that while the Nefertiti neck lift can provide impressive results, it is not a substitute for a surgical neck lift in cases where significant skin laxity or excess fat is present. A consultation with one of our experts will help determine whether this treatment is right for you.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

The Nefertiti neck lift is a quick and relatively painless procedure. Before the treatment begins, your practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals to determine the best injection sites. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise any discomfort during the injections.

Once the treatment area is prepared, your practitioner will use a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections, but the discomfort is generally minimal. After the procedure, you may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days.

Results and Recovery

The results of a Nefertiti neck lift are not immediate but will begin to appear within a few days of the treatment. Most patients notice a visible improvement in the definition of their jawline and a reduction in the appearance of neck wrinkles within 1-2 weeks. The full effects of the treatment usually become apparent after about two weeks.

The results of a Nefertiti neck lift typically last between 3-6 months, depending on factors such as your metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of Botox used. As the effects begin to wear off, you may notice a gradual return of muscle activity in the treated area. To maintain your results, you will likely require follow-up treatments.

Benefits of the Nefertiti Neck Lift

The Nefertiti neck lift offers several advantages over traditional surgical neck lifts, including:

  • Non-surgical: Unlike a surgical neck lift, the Nefertiti neck lift does not require incisions, anaesthesia, or a lengthy recovery period. This makes it a safer and more convenient option for many patients.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, with only minor side effects such as redness or swelling.
  • Natural-looking results: The Nefertiti neck lift provides a subtle lift and tightening effect that enhances your natural features without looking over-done.
  • Customisable: The treatment can be tailored to your specific needs and goals, allowing for a personalised approach to facial rejuvenation.
  • Quick procedure: The entire process takes less than 30 minutes, making it an ideal option for those with busy schedules.

Potential Risks and Side Effects

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects associated with the Nefertiti neck lift. These may include:

  • Bruising or swelling: Some patients may experience mild bruising or swelling at the injection sites, but this usually resolves within a few days.
  • Temporary weakness in nearby muscles: In rare cases, the Botox may spread to nearby muscles, causing temporary weakness or drooping. This typically resolves on its own within a few weeks.
  • Allergic reactions: Although rare, some patients may experience an allergic reaction to Botox. It’s important to discuss any allergies or medical conditions with your practitioner before undergoing the treatment.

 

Cost of a Nefertiti Neck Lift

The cost of a Nefertiti neck lift varies, with the price starting from £450, depending on your practitioner. During your consultation, your practitioner will advise you of the cost.

Final Thoughts

The Nefertiti neck lift is an effective, non-surgical treatment for patients who wish to rejuvenate their lower face, jawline, and neck. By using Botox to relax specific muscles, this treatment can create a more defined jawline, reduce the appearance of neck wrinkles, and provide a subtle lifting effect. With minimal downtime and natural-looking results, the Nefertiti neck lift is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to the signs of ageing. If you are considering this treatment, it is important to have your initial consultation with your practitioner, and determine whether the Nefertiti neck lift is right for you.
