Treatment Overview
Aging not only affects the face but also the neck, often resulting in loss of jawline definition, horizontal neck lines, vertical platysma bands, and sagging skin. These changes can create a tired or aged appearance. The Nefertiti Neck Lift in Korea is a minimally invasive dermatology injectable procedure designed to redefine the jawline, lift the neck, and smooth horizontal and vertical lines for a youthful and elegant appearance.
This treatment primarily uses Botox (Botulinum toxin) injections along the jawline and platysma muscles to relax and reshape neck contours. In combination with dermal fillers like Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), it also restores volume, smooths fine lines, and improves skin elasticity. Korea is globally recognized for its expertise in non-surgical neck rejuvenation, offering advanced techniques, premium products, and personalized treatment plans that ensure natural, long-lasting, and balanced results.
Purpose & Benefits
The Nefertiti Neck Lift provides numerous benefits, including:
- Jawline definition: Relaxation of platysma muscles creates a sharper, more sculpted jawline.
- Smoother neck contours: Horizontal lines and vertical bands are minimized, giving a graceful neck appearance.
- Improved skin elasticity and hydration: Dermal fillers help plump thinning skin while Botox relaxes tension in muscles.
- Non-surgical alternative: Offers visible results without invasive surgery, scarring, or lengthy downtime.
- Collagen stimulation: Some fillers, particularly CaHA, stimulate collagen production for long-lasting rejuvenation.
- Immediate improvement with subtle and natural results: Patients notice refined contours and a refreshed look after treatment.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates include:
- Individuals with loss of jawline definition or sagging neck skin.
- Patients with prominent neck bands, wrinkles, or lines.
- People seeking non-surgical neck lift solutions.
- Those looking to enhance facial aesthetics with a balanced neck and jawline.
- Patients aiming for natural, long-lasting neck rejuvenation.
Possible Risks & Complications
While generally safe, potential side effects may include:
- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites.

- Rare asymmetry or uneven results, typically corrected during follow-up.
- Rare allergic reactions to Botox or fillers.
- Very low risk of infection due to Korea’s strict hygiene and clinical standards.
Techniques & Injectables Used
Korean clinics use advanced techniques to ensure precision and effectiveness:
