Nefertiti Technique for Neck Rejuvenation: What to Know

The Nefertiti technique is a popular non-surgical option for patients who want a smoother-looking neck and a more defined jawline without surgery. It is especially appealing for people who want subtle refinement while keeping natural facial movement and expression.

At Balbas Antiaging in Hollywood, FL, the Nefertiti technique is planned conservatively and tailored to your anatomy. The goal is to improve neck and jawline harmony—not to create an overtreated look.

What Is the Nefertiti Technique?

The Nefertiti technique is a strategic use of neuromodulators in the lower face and neck, typically targeting the platysma muscle (the vertical muscle bands that can become more visible over time).

As the platysma pulls downward, it can contribute to:

• visible neck bands
• reduced jawline definition
• a heavier-looking lower face

The Nefertiti technique helps relax this downward pull so the neck and jawline can look smoother and more refined.

How the Nefertiti Technique Works

The Nefertiti technique works by treating specific points along the platysma and lower face to reduce downward tension.

When that pull is softened, patients may notice:

• less visible neck banding
• a cleaner jawline contour
• a more elegant neck profile
• a softer transition between the jaw and neck

This is why the Nefertiti technique is often chosen by patients who want a refreshed lower face and neck without surgery or downtime-heavy treatments.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the Nefertiti Technique?

You may be a good candidate for the Nefertiti technique if you are noticing:

• visible platysmal neck bands
• early jawline softening
• loss of lower-face definition
• a “pulling down” effect in the neck
• mild to moderate aging changes in the lower face and neck

The Nefertiti technique is especially useful for patients who want:

• subtle, natural-looking improvement
• no surgery
• minimal downtime
• a treatment that preserves expression

A consultation is important because not every neck concern is caused by the same factors. Some patients may also need support from skin tightening, collagen stimulation, or other neck-focused treatments.

What the Nefertiti Technique Can Improve

The Nefertiti technique is not a surgical neck lift, but it can create a meaningful improvement in the right patient.

Common treatment goals include:

• Softening vertical neck bands
• Improving jawline definition
• Creating a smoother neck appearance
• Reducing the look of downward pull in the lower face

At Balbas Antiaging, we always explain what the Nefertiti technique can realistically improve and where another treatment category may be more appropriate.

What the Nefertiti Technique Does Not Do

This is an important part of good treatment planning.

The Nefertiti technique does not directly:

• remove significant excess fat
• remove loose skin
• replace surgical lifting when laxity is advanced

If the concern is more related to:

• deeper tissue laxity,
• significant double chin fullness,
• or advanced skin looseness,

then the Nefertiti technique may still be helpful, but it may need to be combined with other options for a more complete result.

This is why a consultative approach matters.

Why Patients Like the Nefertiti Technique

Many patients choose the Nefertiti technique because it fits their goals and lifestyle.

Benefits patients appreciate:

• Non-surgical
• Quick in-office treatment
• Minimal downtime
• Natural-looking result when planned properly
• Can be part of a broader rejuvenation plan

It is a strong option for patients who want a more polished neck and jawline without looking “done.”

What to Expect During a Nefertiti Technique Appointment

At your consultation and treatment visit, we assess:

• platysma activity
• jawline shape
• neck band visibility
• lower-face balance
• your preferred level of correction

The Nefertiti technique is then performed with a customized injection pattern based on your anatomy.

At Balbas Antiaging, we take a conservative approach to preserve natural movement while improving contour and harmony.

When Will You See Results?

Results from the Nefertiti technique are not usually immediate. As with other neuromodulator treatments, the effect develops gradually over the days following treatment.

Most patients begin to notice changes as the treated muscles relax, with continued improvement over the following days.

Your provider will guide you on:

• what timeline to expect
• how results typically settle
• when follow-up is recommended

How Long Does the Nefertiti Technique Last?

The longevity of the Nefertiti technique varies by patient and depends on factors like:

• muscle strength
• metabolism
• dosage and injection pattern
• treatment history

In consultation, we explain expected maintenance timing and how the Nefertiti technique can fit into a long-term rejuvenation plan.

Can the Nefertiti Technique Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Yes—many patients get the best outcome when the Nefertiti technique is part of a broader plan.

Depending on your needs, it may be paired with:

• skin tightening treatments
• collagen-stimulating treatments
• jawline support strategies
• skin quality protocols for the neck

Combining treatments does not mean doing everything at once. It means choosing the right sequence and protocol for your goals.
