Smooth Out Your Neckline: The Nefertiti Lift With Botox

Your neck is one of the first places to betray your age through wrinkles and lines. In a technology-focused time, many people develop what’s commonly called “tech neck.” This refers to the deep horizontal lines that extend across the neck from frequently looking down at devices. Neck bands, while not harmful, can be distracting and hurt your self-esteem. Fortunately, a Nefertiti lift can banish neck bands and restore the youthful skin on your neck.

A Nefertiti neck lift is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that softens neck bands and enhances the shape of the jawline. It’s a popular alternative to surgical neck lifts, which can be risky and require extensive downtime. Here’s what to know about the exciting, minimally invasive Botox Nefertiti lift.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox injections prevent targeted muscles from fully contracting. They contain a neurotoxin that blocks specific nerves from sending chemical signals that trigger muscle movements. Providers intentionally inject this neurotoxin into specific muscles to prevent the development of wrinkles caused by muscle contractions.

Botox offers only temporary muscle-relaxing effects. However, many people get regular neuromodulator injections to prevent wrinkles. Botox can be injected into many different areas, including the forehead, around the eyes, nose, and mouth. It also offers impressive wrinkle-smoothing effects when injected near neck folds.

Besides its desirable aesthetic benefits, Botox has impressive medical uses. It can relax overly tense trapezius muscles to relieve shoulder, neck, and upper back pain. When injected into the masseter muscles, it can alleviate temporomandibular pain from excessive teeth grinding and clenching. It can even help relieve urinary incontinence and hyperhidrosis (a condition that causes excessive body sweat).

What Is a Nefertiti Lift With Botox?

The Nefertiti Botox technique is ideal for anyone who wants to reverse visible signs of aging in the neck, lower face, and jaw. The treatment gets its name from the slender-necked Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, who lived in ancient times. This procedure targets the platysma muscles that extend from the collarbone to the jaw. It involves several strategically placed injections of Botox neurotoxin to prevent full contraction of the platysma muscles and minimize neck bands.

A Nefertiti lift softens neck bands and addresses sagging, dimpled chin skin and asymmetry in the jaw, lower face, and neck. It’s a low-risk way to gently lift the skin of the neck and lower face without resorting to complex surgical procedures.

Benefits of a Nefertiti Botox Lift

Most people long for a smooth, youthful-looking neck. Unfortunately, the natural effects of life can cause the neck and lower face to sag and become progressively more wrinkled over time. A Nefertiti Botox neck lift can slow down and sometimes temporarily reverse these natural effects and lead to a smoother, slimmer, and more lengthened neck without the invasiveness of surgical incisions. Here are some of the top benefits this treatment provides when performed by a skilled provider:

You probably pay a lot of attention to your face, but when was the last time you gave your neck some TLC? The Nefertiti lift could be the perfect non-surgical aesthetic solution for your unsightly “tech neck” lines and wrinkles.

Botox Nefertiti Lift vs a Surgical Necklift

Not everyone wants to go under the knife for the sake of a more beautiful neck. Many people prefer non-surgical alternatives to popular aesthetic treatments. A traditional neck lift involves cutting into the neck to remove excess fat and tighten sagging skin. It offers long-lasting results but has a longer recovery time and a greater risk of unwanted or dangerous side effects. The results of a surgical neck lift are long-lasting, which can be a drawback if you aren’t satisfied with the appearance of your neck afterward.

A Botox Nefertiti lift doesn’t deliver permanent results. However, regular maintenance treatments allow you to continue enjoying your tighter, more sculpted neck for years. Nefertiti Botox techniques can give you noticeable results without worrying about long recovery times or permanent scars. A Nefertiti neck lift is minimally invasive and delivers subtle results that won’t make it evident to your friends and family that you’ve had any aesthetic procedures.

Botox Nefertiti Lift vs Fillers

Dermal fillers are a great solution for plumping up wrinkles and saggy skin. You may wonder whether your necklines would be better addressed with a Botox Nefertiti lift or fillers. You can’t go wrong with either option. However, a Nefertiti lift may be the better choice to ensure your neck doesn’t look any bulkier than it already is.

Fillers work great for adding volume to treated areas. They can smooth away wrinkles by plumping up the skin underneath them. However, they can make areas like the neck and jawline look thicker. Therefore, a Botox Nefertiti lift may be the better option if you want to keep your neck as slim as possible while simultaneously reducing neck folds. You can always consult a trusted provider for a personalized treatment recommendation if you can’t choose between these two popular treatment options.

Nefertiti Lift Injection Sites

The platysma muscles on both sides of the neck are the primary injection sites for a Nefertiti Botox lift. However, depending on your aesthetic goals, your provider may also inject Botox into other muscles along the jawline, lower face, and upper neck to improve and lift the entire area.

Sometimes, providers recommend combining Nefertiti lift injections with other treatments like Kybella to sculpt the jawline further and remove excess fat in a non-invasive way. Talk to your provider if you want to combine treatments to optimize your results and transform your neck and jawline.

What Is a Nefertiti Lift Procedure Like?

Before scheduling a Nefertiti lift, you’ll need to consult with your provider. Discuss your treatment goals and health history in detail, and mention any medications or supplements you’re taking so your provider can ensure nothing you do will interfere with your results.

You can schedule your appointment once you’re cleared for a Nefertiti lift and receive your personalized treatment plan. Arrive with clean skin to reduce your risk of developing an infection. Your provider will also clean the injection sites to avoid contamination.

The typical Nefertiti lift takes 15 to 30 minutes. Your provider will inject a neuromodulator into various locations along your platysma muscles, which extend from the lower face to the lower neck. Each injection is typically spaced about half an inch apart.

What to Expect During Nefertiti Lift Recovery

Since a Nefertiti lift is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure, it doesn’t come with a long or painful recovery. Most patients can immediately jump back into their everyday routines after treatment. However, your provider may advise you to pause extreme physical activity for at least 48 hours after your appointment. This will help your body deal with localized inflammation at the injection sites and reduce your chances of bruising.

Some patients may need more than one session to get their desired results. Trust your provider’s recommendations and schedule follow-up injections as is necessary to achieve the youthful neck you desire.

Who’s a Good Candidate for a Nefertiti Lift?

Since it’s noninvasive, a Nefertiti lift is an excellent solution for most people who want to soften necklines and sculpt the jaw without surgery. However, patients who fall into the following categories may not be good candidates for this treatment:

Additionally, certain drugs can interact with botulinum toxin. Therefore, you should give your provider a detailed list of medications you’re taking to see if you can safely receive a Nefertiti neck lift.

Is a Nefertiti Botox Neck Lift Safe?

A Nefertiti lift is widely viewed as safe and effective. That said, any cosmetic treatment involving botulinum toxin could potentially cause the following post-injection symptoms:

To minimize your risk of developing side effects, selecting a skilled injector is crucial. Look for someone who knows precisely where to inject the neuromodulator for best results and to reduce the likelihood of unpleasant side effects.

How Many Units of Botox in a Nefertiti Lift?

Everyone is different; some may require more Botox units than others to get a good neck lift. The Nefertiti lift generally requires between 20 and 50 units of Botox. Your provider will inject the appropriate amount to soften your neck folds and give you optimal results without unwanted side effects.
