What is the Nefertiti lift?

The Nefertiti Lift is a cosmetic procedure that uses botulinum toxin injections to the lower face, jaw and neck. Botulinum toxins are also known as Botox. Botulinum toxin is a substance that temporarily blocks the nerves of your muscles, preventing them from contracting. The contraction of muscles can lead to wrinkles and other signs of ageing skin.

This procedure gained its name from Queen Nefertiti of Egypt; she was known for her long, narrow neck. The Nefertiti lift targets your platysma muscle band, which runs vertically from your neckbone to the bottom of your face.

A doctor injects those areas of the muscle to:

• Reduce the lines at the bottom of the forehead
• Smooth, dimpled skin on your chin
• Reduce or erase folds and sagging in the lower half of the face
• Even out the symmetry between the lower jaw, neck, and face
• Remove lines around the neck
• You can make the jaws more defined

Nefertiti Lift restores your youthful appearance without the need for surgical procedures.

Is the Nefertiti lift effective?

Numerous studies have shown that the procedure has had positive results in the past decade.

A study analysed several articles about the Nefertiti Lift and concluded that it is a very effective treatment. According to one study, 88.4% of participants saw a change in the appearance of their necks after the procedure.

Who is a good candidate for a Nefertiti lift?

The procedure is non-invasive and will be performed by our doctors; this treatment is suited for people combating ageing skin who are looking to reclaim their youthful skin.

There are several groups that may not be suitable for the Nefertiti Lift. These are:

• Who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• People who are diagnosed with certain health conditions, such as myasthenia gravis and Eaton-Lambert syndrome, or have a family history of them, should be aware.
• With an infection
• Botulinum toxin is not compatible with any medication or drug
• Certain psychological conditions
