Nefertiti Lift & Neck Band Treatment
Get a Nefertiti lift Walnut Creek patients trust — Botox that smooths neck bands and defines the jawline, no surgery, no downtime.
What Is a Nefertiti Lift?
Do you notice vertical bands running down your neck when you clench your jaw? Or a jawline that’s lost some of its earlier definition? These are signs of platysma bands — the vertical cords formed by an overactive platysma muscle. In fact, this thin sheet of muscle runs from your jaw down to your collarbone. A Nefertiti lift uses Botox to relax this muscle. As a result, it softens neck bands and creates a smoother neck and more defined, contoured jawline, without surgery or downtime.
Dr. Moazemi, a physician with over 23 years of experience, performs Nefertiti lift treatments for patients throughout Walnut Creek and the surrounding East Bay. For example, this includes Alamo, Danville, Lafayette, Orinda, and San Ramon.
Named for the defined jawline of the ancient Egyptian queen, a Nefertiti lift uses Botox injected along the jawline and upper neck. This relaxes the platysma muscle, so the lower face’s lifting muscles work with less resistance. This creates the visual effect of a more contoured jawline and smoother neck skin.

Understanding Neck Bands (Platysma Bands)
Neck bands, also called platysma bands, are the vertical lines that become visible when the platysma muscle contracts. They’re most noticeable when speaking, clenching, or making certain expressions. Overall, they’re a very common concern and aren’t a sign of anything medically wrong. They simply reflect the underlying muscle structure and how it’s used over time.
How the Treatment Works
Consultation: I (Dr. Moazemi) will evaluate your neck and jawline. Then I’ll inject Botox along the jawline and platysma bands in a 15–20 minute appointment. Results: initial effects appear within 3–5 days, full results at two weeks, lasting three to four months.
