NEFERTITI LIFT VANCOUVER: BOTOX TREATMENT FOR LIFTING JOWLS
Nefertiti Lift with botox is one of the most popular treatments that we routinely do at our clinic in Vancouver to help lift the lower face and jawline. As we age, both horizontal and vertical neck wrinkles can take hold. The neck muscles become stronger and can cause a downward pull of the jawline. The Nefertiti lift involves the use of neuromodulators like Botox® injected at precise locations along the lower part of the face, jaw and neck, aiming to achieve a rejuvenated and well-defined look. In certain instances, our doctors may incorporate dermal filler treatments, customized to each individual case, to optimize the outcome of a jawline and neck lift.

NEFERTITI LIFT VANCOUVER: NON-SURGICAL BOTOX NECK LIFT
The name of the treatment comes from the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, known for her elongated neck and defined jawline. The Nefertiti lift targets the platysma muscle, which runs vertically from the bottom of the face to your collarbone, and muscles in the lower face like the depressor anguli oris muscles.
Botox® offers a non-invasive option to soften neck lines and lift the lower face by relaxing the downward pull of the neck muscle:
- Reduce smile lines in the lower part of the face
- Smooth out dimpled skin on the chin
- Improve sagging of the lower part of the face
- Improve definition of the jawline
- Reduce tension in the lower face, jaw, and neck
- Reduce vertical bands in the neck

What causes superficial necklines and laxity?
In addition to the platysma causing vertical neck bands, superficial neck lines and skin laxity are most commonly caused by sun damage and aging. Additional factors like genetics, weight gain, or weight loss also play a role in the formation of lines and wrinkles in the neck. Ultherapy and Microneedling are great modalities to boost collagen production, improve skin laxity, and tighten the neck. Since the neck is often the most neglected area, adopting a medical skincare routine that includes SPF and serums like ZO’s Firming Serum or Alastin’s Neck Complex will enhance the effects of the treatments and prevent further damage.
