Nefertiti Neck Lift
A younger-looking neck and jawline with the Nefertiti neck lift at Pearlish Skin Clinic.
Despite the care and attention you give your skin, your neck is an area prone to the signs of aging. Many of us find that we develop prominent neck lines and loose, jowly skin along the jawline over time.
The Nefertiti neck lift is an exciting, non-surgical treatment that can subtly but effectively rejuvenate your neck and refine your jawline. We recommend combining this treatment with laser skin tightening on the neck area two times for maximum results.
During this treatment, we administer botulinum toxin to targeted muscles in the neck. These Platysma muscles are incredibly strong and can create a downward pull. Temporarily relaxing them acts a bit like removing the pegs from the tent, letting the canvas – in this case, your skin – lift and look smoother. The treatment also reduces the bulk and protrusion of tight Platysmal bands.
The result is a natural but more youthful, contoured appearance that can last for up to six months. The first laser tightening is required a week before the treatment, and one a week after the Nefertiti procedure.
Nefertiti Neck Lift FAQ
The botulinum toxin injections we use for a Nefertiti neck lift take just 20to 30 minutes to administer. In some cases, we may refine the jawline further by using dermal fillers. We typically say that you should allow 45 to 60 minutes for the treatment.
The needles we use to administer botulinum toxin are incredibly fine and deliver a small amount of the product, which is why this is a quick and largely pain-free treatment. We also use topical numbing creams priory to the procedure. Most people compare the sensation to a mild insect bite.
In the hands of an experienced medical professional, a Nefertiti neck lift is a safe, non-invasive procedure. Botulinum toxin injections are backed by years of proven use and clinical studies. However, it is important to be aware of the potential side effects, which we will discuss in detail with you during your initial consultation.
We only ever deliver injections from a single-use vial using single-use needles to ensure that you receive treatment with a product that is fresh, undiluted and free from risk of contamination.
Because the Nefertiti neck lift uses botulinum toxin injections, it’s important to be aware of the potential side effects associated with these. The procedure should only ever be carried out by an experienced medical professional.
Most commonly, people experience a small amount of temporary bleeding, mild swelling or bruising at the injection site. This usually subsides quickly and can be covered easily with make-up. You may also experience a mild headache after your treatment.
Less common are flu-like symptoms, nausea and some temporary facial weakness or drooping.
In more serious and rare cases, botulinum toxin injections have been recorded spreading to other areas of the face and causing breathing difficulties, muscle weakness, slurred speech and trouble swallowing. None of these symptoms have been experienced at Pearlish Skin Clinic to date, but if you notice any signs of facial weakness or difficulty breathing, you should seek medical advice immediately.
When you come in to Pearlish Skin Clinic for a Nefertiti neck lift, we will give you detailed aftercare instructions. It’s important that you follow our recommendations to enjoy the full benefit of your treatment.
We may recommend that you:
Botulinum toxin injections use Prescription-Only Medication (POM), which can only be authorised for use by a qualified medical professional such as a doctor, surgeon, independent nurse prescriber or dentist. An aesthetician can administer the injections.
Here at Pearlish Skin Clinic, a Nefertiti neck lift is performed by Dr. Armin Glastyan.
