What is Nefertiti Lift?

The Nefertiti Lift is a straightforward procedure that aims to freshen up your jawline and neck area, making you look younger and more refreshed. It involves small injections that relax certain muscles around the jaw, letting other muscles work better to lift your neck and jawline. It’s quick, mostly painless, and you don't need to be put to sleep for it.
