Nefertiti Neck Lift

The treatment works by targeting the platysma muscle – the broad, thin muscle that runs from the jawline down the front of the neck. As we age, this muscle contracts and pulls downward, creating vertical neck bands and contributing to jowl formation. By injecting neurotoxin along the jawline and upper neck, we relax the downward pull of the platysma, allowing the upper facial muscles to lift the jaw naturally. This creates enhanced jawline definition, smooths visible neck bands, and reduces early jowl formation.

Ideal candidates for the Nefertiti Neck Lift are adults experiencing early signs of neck aging, including: • Loss of jawline definition • Developing jowls or mild sagging along the jawline • Visible vertical neck bands (platysmal bands) • Mild to moderate neck laxity • Those seeking non-surgical neck rejuvenation Good candidates have realistic expectations and are in good overall health. This treatment is best for early to moderate aging signs. Advanced neck sagging or excess skin may require surgical intervention for optimal results.

Results appear gradually as the neurotoxin takes effect: • 3-7 days: Initial muscle relaxation begins • 7-14 days: Visible lifting and smoothing becomes apparent • 2 weeks: Full results achieved – enhanced jawline definition and smooth neck bands Results develop naturally, ensuring you look like yourself – only more refined and revived.

Results typically last 3-4 months. Longevity depends on several factors: • Individual metabolism • Muscle strength in the treatment area • Lifestyle factors (sun exposure, skincare routine) • Maintenance treatment schedule Regular maintenance treatments every 3-4 months help sustain your refined jawline and smooth neck year-round. Many clients find that consistent treatments can slightly extend longevity over time.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the Nefertiti Neck Lift. The treatment involves multiple small injections along the jawline and upper neck, which most describe as quick pinches or mild pressure. Optional topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment for enhanced comfort. The entire procedure takes just 15-20 minutes, and any discomfort is brief and well-tolerated.

No downtime is required. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Common side effects include: • Mild redness at injection sites (resolves within hours) • Possible small bruising (can be covered with makeup) • Slight tenderness in the treatment area (1-2 days) We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying down, and massaging the treatment area for 4 hours post-treatment to ensure optimal product placement.

The average Nefertiti Neck Lift requires 50-80 units of neurotoxin, though this varies based on: • Individual anatomy and muscle strength • Severity of platysmal bands • Extent of jowl formation • Treatment area coverage Your expert injector will assess your unique needs during consultation and provide a customized treatment plan with transparent pricing.

The Nefertiti Neck Lift pairs beautifully with other injectable treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation: • Botox® for forehead and crow's feet: Smooth upper face wrinkles while lifting the lower face • Dermal fillers for jawline: Add volume and structure for enhanced contouring • Chin filler: Improve chin projection and profile balance • Kybella®: Target submental fat (double chin) for a more defined neck • Microneedling or laser treatments: Improve neck skin texture and tone During your consultation, we'll design a customized treatment plan to address all your aesthetic goals.

Side effects are typically mild and temporary: Common side effects: • Redness at injection sites (few hours) • Small bruising (1-3 days) • Mild tenderness or swelling (1-2 days) • Temporary asymmetry (resolves as product settles) Rare side effects: • Difficulty swallowing (if too much product or improper placement) • Neck weakness (usually resolves within 1-2 weeks) • Headache (uncommon, resolves quickly) At 7Q Spa, our expert injectors use precise techniques and appropriate dosing to minimize risks and ensure safe, effective results.

The Nefertiti Neck Lift is an excellent non-surgical alternative for clients with early to moderate neck aging signs. However, it cannot replicate the dramatic, permanent results of surgical neck lift. Choose the Nefertiti Neck Lift if: • You have mild platysmal bands and early jowl formation • You want subtle, natural enhancement without surgery • You prefer no downtime or recovery Consider surgical neck lift if: • You have advanced neck sagging or significant excess skin • You want dramatic, long-lasting results • You're willing to undergo surgery and recovery During your consultation, we'll assess your needs and recommend the best approach for your goals.

The Nefertiti Neck Lift at 7Q Spa starts at $350. Final cost depends on: • Number of units needed (average 50-80 units) • Individual anatomy and treatment area coverage • Neurotoxin product used (Botox® or Dysport®) During your complimentary consultation, we'll provide a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing based on your unique needs. We also offer package pricing for multiple treatment areas and Cherry financing for qualifying clients.
