Nefertiti lift treatment for jowls –
The Nefertiti lift refers to little lift to your jowl or neck area. As you progress down the face with Botulinum toxin type A, it works in a softer way, giving the area around Neck and Jaw beautiful, tighter, younger looking skin and amazing results. I highly recommend Nefertiti lift treatment for anyone who feels a little jowly.
Why is it called a lift when you are using Botulinum Toxin Type A?
This treatment involves a few little injections to the neck muscles -the platysmal bands. Platysmal bands are depressor muscles. When these are injected, they relax and enable the surrounding elevator muscles to lift.
Botulinum Toxin is a medicine and must be treated as such, only to be injected by a Registered Medical Professional. This area is an off-label usage.
