NON-SURGICAL NECK LIFT : NEFERTITI LIFT

What is the Nefertiti Lift ?

The Nefertiti Lift is a cosmetic treatment designed to rejuvenate and redefine the contour of the jawline and neck without surgery. Named after the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, renowned for her long and graceful neck, this procedure uses Botox injections to create a subtle yet effective lifting effect, giving the face a more youthful and harmonious appearance.
The Nefertiti Lift is particularly appreciated by patients seeking to reduce signs of aging in the lower third of the face and neck—such as skin laxity, wrinkles, and loss of jawline definition—without resorting to surgery.

How does the Nefertiti Lift work ?

The Nefertiti Lift relies on the use of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, which is strategically injected into the platysma muscles. These muscles, located at the front of the neck on both the right and left sides, extend up to the jawline.
They are responsible for pulling the skin downward under the chin, contributing to the loss of jawline definition. By relaxing these muscles and preventing their downward pull, the muscles in the upper face (which naturally pull upwards) create a lifting effect.
This treatment also improves expression lines, such as marionette lines (vertical wrinkles extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin) and skin laxity in the neck, offering an overall rejuvenation of the lower third of the face.

Causes of skin laxity in the neck and jawline

With age, the skin loses its elasticity, particularly in the neck and jawline. This phenomenon is caused by several factors :
• Gravity : it gradually leads to the sagging of skin tissues.
• Decreased collagen and elastin production : these structural proteins are essential for skin firmness.
• Repeated muscle movements : especially in the lower face and neck, they contribute to wrinkle formation and sagging.
• Environmental factors : sun exposure, pollution, and smoking can accelerate this process.

When to consider the Nefertiti Lift?

The Nefertiti Lift is recommended for individuals who begin to notice a loss of jawline definition and sagging in the neck area. It is particularly suited for :
• Individuals aged 35 to 50 : to prevent and treat early signs of skin laxity.
• Older patients : who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to tighten this area.
• After significant weight loss : to redefine the jawline, which may sag due to volume loss.
•It is important to understand that this procedure is only effective if the sagging is caused by the downward pull of the platysma muscles.

Ideal candidates for the Nefertiti Lift


• Men and women who start noticing skin laxity under the chin or along the jawline.
• Patients looking to reduce neck wrinkles and improve skin firmness.
• Those seeking subtle and natural-looking results without undergoing surgery.
• Individuals with good skin elasticity who want neck rejuvenation without surgery.

Les avantages du Nefertiti Lift

The Nefertiti Lift offers numerous advantages over traditional neck and facial lifting techniques:
• Non-surgical procedure : unlike surgical neck lifts, the Nefertiti Lift requires no incisions, general anesthesia, or downtime. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
• Natural-looking results : by selectively relaxing the specific muscles responsible for skin sagging, the Nefertiti Lift achieves a natural outcome without creating a frozen or artificial appearance.
• Enhanced jawline definition : this technique is ideal for addressing the loss of definition in the jawline and neck, resulting in a more sculpted and refined contour.
• Neck tightening effect.
• Quick and long-lasting results : the effects of the Nefertiti Lift begin to appear within a few days after treatment and reach their peak in about two weeks. Results typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and anatomy.
• Minimal to no side effects : side effects are generally mild and temporary, including slight redness, minor swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days.

How does a Nefertiti lift qession work ?

A Nefertiti Lift session is preceded by a consultation to assess the patient’s specific needs and determine the number of injections required.
The treatment itself is quick, typically taking between 5 to 10 minutes. A very fine needle is used to inject Botox into strategic points around the neck and jawline, based on the patient’s anatomy and desired results.
In most cases, anesthetic cream is not necessary, although it can be applied for added comfort. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

After the treatment, patients can resume their normal activities immediately. However, they are advised to avoid intense exercise, avoid excessive sun exposure, refrain from touching or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours

Risks and side effects of the Nefertiti Lift

The effects of the Nefertiti Lift begin to appear within a few days after the treatment and reach their optimal results in about two weeks.
Results vary from patient to patient, depending mainly on individual anatomy and muscle responsiveness.
The Nefertiti Lift effectively firms the skin and redefines the jawline and neck in a natural and subtle way.
The outcome appears natural, maintaining facial expressions without a frozen look.
Results typically last between 4 to 6 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism.

Before & after results of the Nefertiti Lift

As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks associated with the Nefertiti Lift. However, these risks are generally minor and temporary. Possible side effects include : redness, swelling, bruising, sensitivity at injection sites. In rare cases, temporary muscle weakness in the neck or facial asymmetry may occur.
To minimize risks, it is crucial to choose a qualified and experienced medical professional. A prior consultation allows for discussing expectations, assessing anatomy, and determining if the Nefertiti Lift is the right treatment for you.

How much does a Nefertiti Lift cost ?

The price of a Nefertiti Lift depends primarily on the amount of botulinum toxin used and on the anatomy of the lower face and neck. This technique, designed to redefine the jawline and reduce muscular tension responsible for sagging, requires precise evaluation to tailor the dosage to each patient's needs.
In practice, the price for a Nefertiti Lift using Botox starts at 400 CHF. This amount may be adjusted depending on the number of units used, especially if the treatment includes both the depressor muscles of the lower face and certain areas of the neck.
A personalised quote is always established during the medical consultation, following an analysis of facial volume, muscular tone, and the overall morphology of the neck and jawline.
The final cost of the Nefertiti Lift is therefore individualised and always communicated before the procedure.

Patient reviews on the Nefertiti Lift

Patient reviews on the Nefertiti Lift are generally positive.
They appreciate that the treatment provides a natural lifting effect without requiring any social downtime—daily activities can be resumed immediately after the injections. Thanks to the subtle yet noticeable results, patients feel more confident and comfortable in their appearance.
The procedure is often described as simple and quick.
