The legendary Egyptian queen wasn’t just a ruler—she was an icon of symmetry and refinement. Her elongated neck, defined jawline, and regal profile have inspired generations of beauty standards. And today, she’s inspiring something else: a Botox®-powered lower-face treatment that’s got the entire aesthetics world in a headlock.
It’s called the Nefertiti Lift, and it’s serving sharp, sleek, and jaw-dropping—literally.
Forget invasive facelifts. This treatment targets the platysmal bands (those vertical neck lines that get deeper with age) and overactive muscles pulling down your jawline. With just a few precise injections of Botox®, the lower face and neck are lifted, smoothed, and sculpted—without cutting, downtime, or drama.
Continue reading to learn what makes this neck Botox® treatment the hottest trend in 2025, how it works, and why Botox® isn’t just about forehead lines anymore—it’s claiming territory everywhere, especially in the lower face.
What Is the Nefertiti Lift?
It’s Botox®—but elevated. Literally.
The Nefertiti Lift is a non-surgical lower face and neck rejuvenation treatment using strategically placed Botox® injections along the jawline, platysmal bands, and DAO muscles (depressor anguli oris—the ones responsible for that unwanted “downturned mouth” look).
Here’s how it works:
- Botox® is injected into muscles that pull the face downward (like the platysma and DAO).
- These muscles are temporarily relaxed, reducing their ability to drag the skin and tissues down.
- As a result, the jawline appears tighter, the neck looks smoother, and the entire lower face gets a lifted, refreshed contour.
This is the go-to treatment for patients who aren’t ready for surgery but want legit results. And unlike filler, which builds volume, Botox® works by creating definition through release—allowing your natural bone structure to pop without puffiness.
Why the Nefertiti Lift Is Having a Main Character Moment
Let’s get into all the reasons this treatment is everywhere right now—and why Botox® below the jaw is officially the new black.
1. It Targets the Real Culprits of Sagging
We’ve been so obsessed with frown lines and forehead wrinkles that the neck and jawline got ignored for way too long. But the truth is, a lot of what we perceive as aging happens below the cheeks.
- The platysmal bands in the neck become more prominent over time, creating vertical lines and a “cording” effect.
- The DAO muscles pull down the corners of the mouth, creating a tired or sad appearance.
- Skin loses elasticity, and gravity takes over.
The Nefertiti Lift addresses all of this—not by adding volume, but by relaxing the muscles that are pulling everything south. This creates a visual lift and restores jawline definition without adding bulk.
2. It’s Perfect for “Tech Neck” and Zoom Fatigue
You already know the phone isn’t helping your posture—but it’s also messing with your lower face.
Constant looking down, repetitive neck movement, and digital aging have led to a spike in tech neck, where early horizontal lines form on the neck and jawline laxity starts earlier than expected.
The Nefertiti Lift is becoming the go-to for professionals, content creators, and anyone who lives in front of a screen—because it lifts and tightens without changing your schedule.
3. Results Are Subtle—but Transformational
This isn’t a dramatic overnight switch-up. It’s refined glam. The kind of transformation where people say “You look incredible,” but they can’t quite put their finger on why.
After a Nefertiti Lift:
- Your jawline enhancement looks natural—not exaggerated
- Your neck looks smoother and less strained
- Your mouth no longer looks downturned, which softens your entire expression
It’s the kind of tweak that doesn’t change your face—it unlocks its full potential.
4. No Downtime, No Scars, No Fuss
Traditional lower face lifts? Surgery. Recovery. Bruising. Scars. Weeks off work.
The Nefertiti Lift? You’re in and out in 30 minutes. Back to brunch, back to boardrooms, back to selfies. Minimal bruising, no peeling, no numbing creams—just a few tiny pokes that feel like nothing and results that unfold over a week or so.
5. Botox® Is Proven and Powerful
We’re not talking about a brand-new treatment with unknown risks. Botox® is FDA-approved, deeply studied, and has been used for over two decades in aesthetic medicine. It’s safe, effective, and trusted by millions.
The Nefertiti Lift simply applies this powerhouse product to a new zone—with game-changing results. It’s not reinventing the wheel. It’s redefining the face.
6. It’s Versatile and Customizable
Not every patient needs a full-face treatment. Some want to lift just the corners of the mouth. Others want to smooth out platysmal bands. Some need soft jawline tightening, while others want full neck Botox® to refresh their entire lower face.
The Nefertiti Lift is totally flexible—it can be as subtle or sculpted as you want. And when done with precision, it creates balance and proportion without affecting your expressions or freezing your personality.
7. It’s Ideal for Men and Women
The idea that only women care about aging? Outdated. Men are booking lower face Botox® in record numbers—especially those looking to sharpen their jawline, reduce sagging under the chin, or combat early frown lines and downturned mouth expressions.
And because the treatment enhances natural structure, it works across all gender identities and facial shapes. It’s not about feminizing or masculinizing—it’s about looking fresher, more lifted, and more confident as you.
8. It Plays Well with Other Treatments
Want to pair your Nefertiti Lift with skin tightening or filler for the ultimate sculpt? You can.
This treatment fits beautifully into a broader aesthetic plan—whether you’re layering with microneedling, radiofrequency, or cheek filler. It enhances other treatments by creating a clean, lifted foundation.
How Long Do Results Last?
Most patients enjoy results for 3 to 5 months, depending on muscle strength, metabolism, and lifestyle. As with all Botox® treatments, consistency is key. The more regularly you maintain your lift, the better your results get over time.
And because it’s subtle, you never “snap back” to square one—your features simply soften gradually until your next session.
Is the Nefertiti Lift Right for You?
You’re a perfect candidate if:
- You’ve noticed mild to moderate sagging around your jawline or neck
- You struggle with a downturned mouth or heavy lower face
- You want a sculpted jaw but aren’t ready for surgery
- You love clean, lifted features without puffiness or overfilling
- You’re already using Botox® in your upper face and want to balance your results

It’s powerful. It’s precise. And it’s the kind of subtle upgrade that has everything to do with how you hold your head high.
