Dermatologist-trained SOM provider
Soften platysmal pull for jawline refinement.
The Nefertiti lift targets the platysmal bands in the neck and the lower-face muscles that create downward pull on the jaw. By easing that pull, the jawline can look more defined in the right candidate.
This is not a surgical lift. It does not address significant skin laxity, deep volume loss, or severe jowling. When skin looseness is the main concern, RF microneedling, Sculptra, or Radiesse fit better.

How to prepare for a Nefertiti lift
Since a Nefertiti lift treats the neck bands and jawline, pausing blood thinners (ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 48 hours and alcohol for 24 hours reduces bruising across a wider area. Arrive with clean skin on the neck and jaw and update us on any new medications.
• Pause blood thinners 48h before
• No alcohol 24h prior
• Clean neck and jaw, no makeup
• Share any new meds or health changes
• Keep activity light for a day
What happens during Nefertiti lift Botox
In about 15 to 20 minutes, a dermatologist-trained SOM provider injects along the neck bands and jawline to relax the downward pull. You’ll feel small pinches across several points, numbing is rarely needed, and you can leave right after.
• 15 to 20 minute visit
• Injections along neck and jawline
