In the past, the only option for reducing signs of aging in the jaw and neck was surgery. But this is the present, and new non-surgical advances have made less invasive options available. For men and women with limited time and a desire to avoid surgery, a new use for BOTOX® in Edmonton may provide a solution – without scars, anesthesia, or downtime. It's being called, by some, the "Nefertiti Lift," and is named after the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti who had an ideal jawline.

The uses of BOTOX are rapidly expanding. But just because more doctors are offering more options, it doesn't mean that they can perform all of these procedures safely and with favorable results. To make the most of these new BOTOX treatments, you need a physician with detailed medical knowledge and skilled technique. That's what you'll find with Dr. Ashwani Singh at CosMedics. Recognized as an advanced injector by Allergan (the maker of BOTOX), he's also a trainer of other physicians. In fact, he has been ranked #1 in Edmonton for BOTOX sales since 2006.

Dr. Singh is also adept in the use of BOTOX for other concerns: BOTOX for wrinkles, BOTOX for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and BOTOX for TMJ pain. You can discuss these, and your other options for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, during your consultation.

Although the progression of aging is different for everyone, most people eventually see undesired changes in the appearance of their jawline and neck. Skin thinning, increased laxity, and loss of elasticity are very common concerns. Also, over time, the platysma muscle (running between the chin and the chest) pulls down on the cheeks, corners of the mouth and jaw – causing "jowling" and sagging in the neck.

BOTOX for a Neck and Jawline Lift

The basic concept of BOTOX is simple: it relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles. Most people are familiar with its most common use: reducing crow's feet and frown lines by relaxing facial muscles. This same basic principle applies to the jawline and neck.

Dr. Singh will inject BOTOX into the plastysma muscle. He'll place the injections carefully and will be cautious about the amount of BOTOX injected. With a precise balance, these injections will subtly relax the platysma muscle so that it no longer pulls down on the jaw and neck. The result is a smoother, "lifted," and more youthful appearance.

Platysma muscles are essential for chewing and for speech – so choosing a qualified physician for your BOTOX treatment in this area is absolutely crucial. That's why so many men and women have chosen Dr. Singh at CosMedics.
