Botox Cosmetic and Dysport injections temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles beneath the skin. By relaxing the muscles, the skin on top becomes smoother. They are both neurotoxins and are the perfect solutions to treat and prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and deep facial furrows. Both treatments contain a similar main ingredient, but the trace protein amounts they contain vary. This may make one treatment more effective than the other for some people. Our providers can help you decide which one may be best for you.
Botox can also be used to treat migraines and axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in the forehead, underarms, hands and feet.
No general anesthesia is needed, and there isn’t an extended recovery time. Results are typically evident several days after treatment and continue to improve up to 2 weeks. The effects of neurotoxins last 3-6 months.
Nefertiti (Neurotoxin) Lift
A Nefertiti lift is a cosmetic procedure performed with neurotoxin (Botox or Dysport) injections in the lower part of your face (chin, jawline, and neck) to improve the appearance of the lower face, jawline, and neck.
The procedure’s name refers to the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, known for her elongated, thin neck. The Nefertiti lift targets the platysma band of muscles that run vertically from the bottom of the face to your collarbone.
A nurse will inject Botox or Dysport into specific parts of this muscle to:
- lessen lines around the bottom part of the face
- smooth dimpled skin on the chin
- erase or reduce folds or sagging of the lower part of the face
- even out the symmetry of the lower face, jaw, and neck
- remove lines on the neck
- create a more pronounced definition of the jaw
A Nefertiti lift is a temporary way to restore a youthful look without surgery!
Combining Treatments for Optimal Results
Maximizing results is essential when it comes to the Nefertiti Lift. Combining this procedure with other treatments can lead to a more youthful and defined facial profile.
Merging the Nefertiti Lift with Sculptra or Fillers can promote the texture and quality of the dermis. Utilizing ultrasound energy, Sofwave can lift and tighten the chin, brow, and neck area. This blend of treatments allows for an improved overall outcome.
In addition, Kybella is another method which can be combined for further enhancement. Kybella is an injectable treatment that destroys fat cells and is ideal for those hoping to add definition and firmness to the neck and chin area.
By incorporating these treatments with the Nefertiti Lift, users can reach their desired goals and obtain a refreshed facial profile. Consult with one of our Nurse Injectors to come up with the combo that will work for you!
