Nefertiti Lift Edmonton: Effect, Procedure, Cost and More

A Nefertiti Lift is a non‑surgical treatment that uses carefully placed neuromodulator injections to relax the platysma muscle, lifting the jawline and smoothing neck bands. The name pays homage to Queen Nefertiti, renowned for her elongated neck. By relaxing the downward‑pulling muscles, the treatment subtly elevates the lower face, redefines the jawline and softens horizontal lines without the need for surgery. It is ideal for people noticing early signs of sagging in the neck and jaw area who want a quick, non‑invasive solution.

How the Nefertiti Lift Works

Our experienced medical team uses FDA‑approved neuromodulators (such as Botox) to strategically inject the platysma band of muscles that run from the jaw to the collarbone. These injections temporarily block nerve impulses, preventing the muscles from contracting. Relaxing these muscles reduces wrinkles, smooths dimpling, and creates a more defined jawline. Sessions take approximately 15–30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, and a topical anesthetic can be applied for added comfort.

Expected Results and Longevity

Improvements are typically noticeable within a few days, with the full effect visible around two weeks after treatment. You can expect smoother neck bands, a crisper jawline and an overall refreshed profile. Results generally last three to four months; maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain your new contours. Because the platysma muscle gradually regains its strength, the procedure offers temporary rejuvenation rather than permanent change.

Cost and Treatment Details

At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre, a Nefertiti Lift starts at approximately CAD 300 per session. The exact investment depends on the number of units required—our physicians determine this during your consultation to ensure natural, balanced results. Treatments usually require up to 20 units per side, providing a large safety margin. Because this is an elective cosmetic procedure, insurance does not cover it.

Safety, Side‑Effects and Downtime

When performed by trained professionals, a Nefertiti Lift is safe and involves minimal recovery time. Most people return to daily activities immediately after their appointment. Mild bruising, swelling or redness at the injection sites may occur. Rarely, high doses or incorrect placement can temporarily affect swallowing or cause neck weakness, which is why our practitioners adhere to conservative dosing guidelines and use precise injection points.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

The treatment is best suited for individuals with mild sagging or horizontal bands along the jawline and neck who want to avoid surgery. We do not recommend it for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain neuromuscular conditions. During your consultation, we review your medical history to ensure the procedure is appropriate.

Complementary Treatments for Enhanced Results

For comprehensive neck rejuvenation, many clients combine the Nefertiti Lift with other treatments. Collagen‑stimulating procedures like Sculptra or laser skin tightening help firm and improve skin texture. It can also be performed during the same session as injections for forehead lines, frown lines or crow’s feet, allowing for harmonious facial rejuvenation.
