At Beauty By Doctor, we combine clinical experience with a focus on anatomical harmony to address concerns related to the jawline and neck area.

Lower Face Assessment and Management
As part of the natural ageing process, the structural support of the lower face may change. This can lead to a reduction in jawline definition, increased skin laxity, and changes in the appearance of the neck. When muscles in the lower face are highly active, they can contribute to the development of lines and a downward pull on the soft tissues.
Many individuals seek to address these changes using non-surgical methods to manage the appearance of the lower face and neck contours.

The Nefertiti Approach
This specific technique focuses on the balance of the lower facial muscles to improve the definition of the jawline and the appearance of the neck. By utilizing muscle relaxant injections, the balance and symmetry of the lower face can be addressed.
This treatment aims to provide a refreshed appearance and clearer jawline definition. Recovery varies between individuals, and the procedure is performed in-clinic without the need for invasive surgery.

The Beauty By Doctor Process
Our focus at Beauty By Doctor is on anatomical assessment and professional clinical care. A treatment plan is developed based on your individual assessment and what you hope to achieve. By precisely placing injections into specific muscles around the lower face and neck, the downward pull of the platysma muscle is reduced, which can result in a more defined profile.
The goal is to achieve a subtle change in skin quality and contour that maintains a natural appearance.

Understanding the Treatment
The procedure involves injecting a muscle relaxant solution into the platysma muscle under the jaw. When this muscle is overactive, it can contribute to lower face laxity and the appearance of jowls. By relaxing the platysma, the upward-pulling facial muscles can work more effectively, helping to support the lower part of the face. This approach focuses on achieving a firmer-looking jawline and smoother neck appearance.

Areas of Concern for Assessment
This treatment may be suitable for addressing:

Lower face laxity

The appearance of a downturned mouth

Neck skin laxity

Reduced definition of the jawline

Early signs of skin changes in the lower face

Treatment suitability is assessed during a comprehensive consultation where your medical history and aesthetic goals are reviewed.

What to Expect During Your Clinical Visit
Following a consultation, the doctor will analyse your facial features and identify the appropriate injection sites. A fine needle is used to deliver the solution directly into the platysma bands and jawline area. Discomfort varies between individuals, and the procedure typically does not require topical anaesthesia.
The appointment generally lasts 15 to 30 minutes. You can typically return to your daily activities immediately, though some temporary redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur, which usually resolves within a few hours.

Duration of Effect
Outcomes vary between individuals, but initial changes may be seen within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect usually visible at 2 weeks. Results typically last between 3 and 6 months, depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle factors. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled to maintain the clinical outcome.
