Using the Nefertiti Lift technique, our lower face and neck Botox treatment targets the platysma muscle to reduce downward tension and improve definition

The lower face and neck often reveal early signs of ageing, including jawline sagging, neck banding, and loss of contour.

The Nefertiti Botox treatment subtly lifts and refines the profile by smoothing vertical neck bands and softening lines along the jawline, offering a natural, non-surgical rejuvenation that enhances facial harmony.

Self-Perception and Confidence

From a psychological perspective, prominent neck wrinkles can create a sense of “aesthetic discordance,” where individuals feel their outward appearance no longer aligns with their youthful spirit.

This can contribute to self-consciousness and lead patients to withdraw socially or professionally due to a lack of confidence in their appearance.

Origins of the Nefertiti Inspiration

The Nefertiti Lift is named after Queen Nefertiti of ancient Egypt, whose bust is famous for its elongated neck and defined jawline.

Nefertiti’s profile has long been considered an ideal of beauty, symbolising grace, symmetry, and a youthful contour that many aspire to.

The Nefertiti Lift aims to evoke this aesthetic, creating a smoother, more defined neck and jawline that subtly restores balance to the face.
