The platysma is the thin sheet of muscle that runs from the collarbones up over the jaw. With age and expression it pulls downward, showing as vertical bands in the neck and a softer line between the jaw and the neck.
The Nefertiti neck lift places small amounts of Botox along those bands and the lower border of the jaw, relaxing the downward pull so the lifting muscles of the face work unopposed. The bands soften and the jaw-to-neck angle reads sharper — a subtle lift with no surgery.
Like all Botox, results appear within a few days, are full at about two weeks and typically last 3–5 months.
It is priced per unit; the number of units is set at consultation, and the 30-unit appointment minimum applies. For necklace lines and crepey texture rather than banding, see Neck Renewal.
