Nefertiti-Lift
The name Nefertiti Lift is derived from the appearance of the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. She was considered the epitome of a clear, elegant jawline, a long, firm neck, and an overall aesthetically pleasing lower third of the face.
Through this minimally invasive treatment using botulinum toxin, we relax the platysma muscle in the neck area. This reduces the downward pull on the jawline and the corners of the mouth, visually lifting the jawline.
The result is a gentle lifting effect without surgery, designed to evoke Nefertiti’s iconic neck-and-chin silhouette.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Nefertiti Lift
Can I resume my normal activities after a Nefertiti Lift?
Following the Botox treatment, you can immediately return to your normal activities and are fit for social engagements. On the day of treatment, care should be taken not to tilt the head downward to avoid the formation of small bruises. If necessary, the treated areas can be cooled again at home. No sauna sessions or athletic activities should be planned for up to 2 days after the treatment. Refraining from alcohol and nicotine is advisable. You are welcome to activate the treated areas after the procedure (frowning, scowling). This promotes the distribution of botulinum toxin in the tissue and thus the response to the therapy.
How often can I repeat the Nefertiti Lift?
The effect of botulinum toxin is temporary; the active ingredient is metabolized so that the previously immobilized muscle can contract again. With repeated injections, the muscle becomes weaker, meaning the intervals between Botox injections usually become longer. Botox treatments can be repeated as often as desired.
Can side effects occur with a Nefertiti Lift?
Side effects occur very rarely. Temporary small bruises or minimal redness may occur at the injection areas. In rare cases, headaches may occur 24 hours after the injection. When using botulinum toxin, we place particular emphasis on a natural facial expression. We do not consider “frozen” facial expressions to be desirable.
When should a Nefertiti Lift with botulinum toxin not be performed?
Contraindications:
Treatment with botulinum toxin-A (Botox) must not be performed if:
- There is a known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or any of its other components.
- A generalized disorder of muscle activity is present (e.g., myasthenia gravis).
- Acute infections or inflammations exist in the area of the planned injection site (e.g., herpes).
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding is present.
Whether a treatment is appropriate and safe will be clarified individually during a personal consultation.
