A Botox neck lift, also called the Nefertiti lift, is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses Botox (botulinum toxin) to rejuvenate the neck and jawline. By targeting the platysma muscles (bands in the neck that pull skin downward), Botox relaxes tension, creating a smoother, lifted, and more youthful appearance.
Who Is It For?
A Botox neck lift is ideal if you:
- Notice neck bands or vertical lines
- Have sagging skin along the jawline (“turkey neck”)
- Want a defined jawline without surgery
- Prefer a quick, non-invasive procedure with no downtime
Benefits of Botox Neck Lift

How Does the Procedure Work?

- Injections – Small doses of Botox are injected into the platysma muscles and jawline area.
- Recovery – Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides quickly.

How Long Do Results Last?
The effects of a Botox neck lift generally last 3–6 months. With regular treatments, results may become longer lasting.
