Nefertiti Botox and Platysma Botox

A non-surgical treatment that balances the downward pull of the platysma to make the jawline clearer and the neck look softer.

Overview

Nefertiti botox is a botulinum toxin application to specific muscles of the neck and jawline, aiming for a more defined jawline and a more balanced neck appearance.

The platysma muscle in the neck plays an important role in the appearance of the lower face, jawline and neck. With age or strong muscle activity, vertical platysmal bands may become prominent. The downward pull of the platysma can also make the jawline look less defined.

Platysma botox (neck botox) reduces activity in certain parts of this muscle to soften the appearance of vertical neck bands. Application along the jawline and to suitable areas of the platysma may be called Nefertiti botox or a Nefertiti lift.

The aim is not to create a surgical lifting effect, but in suitable people to reduce the downward pull of the platysma so that the neck and jawline look more balanced and defined.

How Is Nefertiti Botox Performed?

Before the procedure the neck and jawline are assessed both at rest and during muscle movement. Injection points are determined by examining platysma activity and prominent bands.

A local anaesthetic cream is applied to the area and left for about 15 minutes. Botulinum toxin is then injected into the determined points with very fine needles.

In Nefertiti botox, injections can be made along the jawline and into suitable areas of the platysma. When treating platysmal bands, the prominent bands are targeted.

The procedure is short and the person can continue their daily life afterwards.

Eligibility

Who Are Nefertiti and Platysma Botox Suitable For?

These treatments are particularly preferred for people;

  • Who have vertical platysmal bands that become prominent with expression or contraction,
  • Who have a pronounced downward muscle pull along the jawline,
  • Who would like a clearer and more balanced jawline,
  • Who have signs of ageing in the neck related to muscle activity,
  • Who wish to support the appearance of the neck and jawline with a non-surgical treatment

It is preferred in these individuals.

Process

01

When Does Nefertiti Botox Take Effect?

The effect of botulinum toxin usually begins within the first few days after the procedure and becomes evident within about 10–14 days.

At the end of this period, neck muscle movement and jawline appearance are assessed and an additional application can be planned if needed.

02

Does Nefertiti Botox Define the Jawline?

In suitable people, reducing the downward pull the platysma exerts on the jawline can help the jawline look clearer and more balanced.

However, Nefertiti botox is not a filler or a surgical face-and-neck lift. If the main cause of an undefined jawline is skin laxity, fat tissue or bone structure, the result achievable with botox may be limited.

03

What Are Platysmal Bands?

Platysmal bands are vertical muscle bands in the neck that can become prominent especially while speaking, smiling or contracting the neck muscles. They may become more visible with age.

With platysma botox, the muscle activity of these bands is reduced to aim for a softer neck appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Nefertiti and Platysma Botox

The aim is not a surgical lift, but a clearer jawline appearance achieved by balancing muscle activity.

Are Nefertiti botox and neck botox the same?+

They are closely related but not always used with exactly the same meaning. Platysma botox targets the platysma muscle and especially prominent bands, while in Nefertiti botox reducing the downward muscle pull along the jawline is also an important part of the plan.

Does Nefertiti botox lift the face or neck?+

Nefertiti botox is not a surgical lifting procedure. In suitable people it can help the jawline look clearer and the neck more balanced by reducing downward muscle activity.

Does platysma botox remove neck lines?+

Platysma botox is especially effective for vertical platysmal bands caused by muscle activity. It may not be sufficient on its own for horizontal neck lines related to skin structure or for marked skin laxity.

Assessment

Nefertiti and Platysma Botox Are Planned Individually

The appearance of the neck and jawline is not determined by the platysma alone. Skin quality, subcutaneous fat, bone structure and age-related changes must also be assessed.

Therefore, in Nefertiti and platysma botox the injection points and botulinum toxin dose are planned according to the person's neck and lower-face anatomy and muscle activity.
