What is Neck and Jawline Botox?

Neck and jawline Botox, also known as a Nefertiti Lift or Botox Neck Lift, is a non-surgical procedure that uses Botox injections to relax neck muscles, particularly the platysma muscle, reducing the appearance of vertical bands of the neck and improving jawline definition. It can also help with sagging jowls and improve the overall texture of the skin on the neck.

How does Neck and Jawline Botox work?

• Muscle Relaxation: Botox injections target the platysma muscle, which runs from the jawline down the sides of the neck. Overactive platysma muscles form platysma bands- vertical lines on the neck. The platysma also contributes to sagging of the face due to the downward pull of the muscle
• Improved Jawline Definition: Overactive platysma muscles along the jawline obscure the jawline definition and pull the skin downwards. By relaxing the muscles that pull down the skin along the jawline, Neck and jawlin, Botox can help to define and lift the jawline, creating a more sculpted appearance. 
• Skin Tightening: The relaxation of the neck muscles results in a more youthful and tighter appearance of the skin.

Benefits of Neck and Jawline Botox

• Improved Jawline Definition: Creates a more defined and sculpted jawline
• Minimally invasive: little discomfort and no downtime.
• Quick Results: Improvements in jawline contour are typically seen in 5-7 days
• Natural-looking results: enhance the jawline subtly.

What are Platysmal Bands?

The platysma is a thin, broad sheet-like muscle that extends from the chest and shoulder muscles up to the jawline. As we age, the platysma can become more prominent, leading to the formation of vertical bands in the neck. These platysmal bands can pull downwards, creating an appearance of sagging and contributing to an aged look.

Age and Loss of Jawline Definition

Another significant change that occurs with ageing is the loss of jawline definition. This can be attributed to skin laxity, which is the result of decreased collagen and elastin production, as well as platysma muscle activity. The muscles in the lower face, including the platysma, can become overactive, leading to a less defined jawline. As the skin loses its elasticity, the jawline may appear softer and less contoured. A well-defined and sculpted jawline is a sign of youth and attractiveness.

How Botox Smooths & Lifts the Neck

Neck and Jawline Botox works by relaxing the platysma muscle, countering its downward pull. This leads to:

• Disappearance of platysmal bands (vertical neck lines)
• Softening of horizontal neck lines
• A subtle upward pull of the jawline
• A more youthful neck profile

This method is known as the Nefertiti Lift, named after the ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti, renowned for her elongated, elegant neck.

Neck and Jawline Botox vs Jaw Muscle (Masseter) Botox
Neck and Jawline Botox:

As discussed above, this treatment targets the neck muscle known as the platysma for the purpose of improving the jawline definition, removing platysma bands and lifting the neck.

Jaw Muscle (Masseter) Botox:

Jaw Botox, aka Masseter Botox, targets the Jaw Muscle for the purpose of reducing oversized jaw muscle (masseter hypertrophy) and slimming the face. This procedure may also be medically required due to teeth grinding (Bruxism) and TMJ pain (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction).

It is common for both Masseter and Neck Botox to be performed together!

How Many Units of Botox Are Needed for a Nefertiti Lift?

The exact number varies depending on individual anatomy and treatment goals.  Here’s a general guide:

During the consultation, we’ll recommend the optimal dosage for natural results for your particular facial profile. We follow the principle of minimal effective dosing—enough to achieve lift without stiffness. 

Risks & Side Effects

Botox is a well-studied and widely used treatment, but like any medical procedure, there are potential risks. When performed by experienced doctors, these are rare and temporary.

Possible side effects include:

• Minor bruising or redness at injection sites

Note: These risks apply to all Botox treatments. To minimise any complications, it’s important to have your treatment done by a doctor who can account for your individual facial profile and aesthetic goals.
