What is the Nefertiti Lift with Botulinum Toxin?

The Nefertiti Lift is an aesthetic procedure that utilizes botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox®, to enhance the contour of the face and neck. The name is inspired by the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, known for her long neck and well-defined facial contour. This treatment aims to redefine the jawline and smooth neck lines.

How Does It Work?

Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals to the muscles around the neck and jawline. This reduces the downward traction of the muscles, allowing the lifting muscles of the face to become more dominant, resulting in a more defined and elegant facial contour.

Who Is It Recommended For?

The Nefertiti Lift is especially recommended for patients who want to improve the definition of the jawline and smooth neck lines without the need for surgery. It is ideal for those who notice signs of aging in the lower face and neck region.

Which Regions Can Be Treated?

This treatment is applied along the jawline and neck. Applying the toxin to strategic areas helps create a lifting effect that redefines the neck and jawline contour, offering a younger and refined appearance.

How Should I Prepare for the Treatment?

Like other botulinum toxin treatments, extensive preparation is not necessary. However, it is recommended to avoid medications that may increase the risk of bruising, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatories, a few days before the procedure.

How Long Does the Treatment Last?

The Nefertiti Lift procedure is generally quick, taking about 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Anesthesia is not required, and the patient can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid intense physical exercise for 24 hours after the treatment and sauna for 7 days.

Does It Cause Pain or Discomfort?

Discomfort is minimal during the treatment. Cool pads or numbing cream can be used to alleviate any discomfort during the injections.

How Will I Look Immediately After the Treatment?

After the treatment, mild swelling or redness may occur in the treated areas, which usually resolves quickly. In rare cases, small bruises may appear, but these also disappear shortly. Makeup can be applied to conceal any temporary marks.
