Nefertiti Neck Lift
A lifted jawline. A defined neck.
Overview
Named after the ancient Egyptian queen celebrated for her graceful neck, the Nefertiti lift is a precise, doctor-led botulinum toxin treatment that relaxes the muscles pulling the jawline downward, allowing the jaw to neck contour to lift and define without surgery.
The jawline is shaped by a balance of forces. Some muscles lift and define, while others, the platysma and the depressor muscles of the lower face, pull the jawline and the corners of the mouth downward. Over time, as skin loses elasticity and these downward pulling muscles remain active, the jaw to neck angle softens, jowls form and the neck takes on a heavier, less defined appearance. The Nefertiti lift uses a purified protein, the same used in anti-wrinkle therapy, injected precisely along the jawline and into the platysma bands of the neck to relax the downward pulling muscles. With the pull eased, the defining muscles are free to lift, and the jawline appears sharper, the neck smoother and the jaw to neck angle more elegant. The result is a subtle, non surgical lift that develops gradually and reads as natural. At Luminè, every plan is doctor led and begins with an honest assessment of your anatomy, skin elasticity and whether a Nefertiti lift, or a combination with other treatments, is the right approach for you.

Why Luminè
The Nefertiti lift works best when the main concern is muscular rather than loose skin or excess fat. As doctors, we assess honestly whether you are a good candidate, or whether dermal fillers, skin tightening or another approach would serve you better, either alone or in combination. We plan the injection pattern to your anatomy so the lift is balanced and natural, never overdone.
Questions
Frequently Asked
Is the Nefertiti lift a surgical procedure?
No. It is a non surgical, injectable treatment using botulinum toxin to relax the downward pulling muscles of the lower face and neck, allowing the jawline to lift and define naturally.
How is it different from anti-wrinkle therapy?
Anti-wrinkle therapy focuses on the upper face expression lines, while the Nefertiti lift targets the platysma and depressor muscles of the lower face and neck to improve jawline and neck definition. They use the same purified protein.
Will it help loose neck skin?
The Nefertiti lift addresses muscular pull rather than loose skin. Where significant skin laxity is present, we may recommend combining it with skin tightening treatments or an alternative approach, and we will advise you honestly at consultation.
Does it hurt?
Discomfort is minimal and brief, using very fine needles. No anaesthetic is usually required.
How long until I see results?
Most patients notice improvement within three to fourteen days, with the full effect at two to four weeks.
How long does it last?
Typically three to four months. Maintenance treatments sustain the lifted, defined contour.
Is it safe?
When administered by a qualified doctor after proper assessment, the Nefertiti lift has a well established safety profile. Potential side effects are discussed fully at your consultation.
Is the Nefertiti Neck Lift Right for You?
Every plan begins with a proper medical assessment and an honest conversation about your anatomy and goals. Arrange a consultation at Luminè to find out.
