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.
