Treatments for the neck and neck lifting in Birmingham
The neck is always a tell-tale sign of ageing, but help is at hand – non-invasive neck lift treatments are available in our Birmingham clinic that are often simple and straightforward procedures with usually highly effective outcomes. There are number of treatment options to tighten and redefine the neck and jawline to regain a youthful neckline, and contoured and lifted appearance.
A non-surgical approach to neck lifts are sometimes called a no-knife neck lift, but are also quite often referred to as a ‘Nefertiti Neck Lift’ based on the Egyptian queen, renowned for her beauty and elegant neckline.
Treatment for a neck lift (sometimes described as ‘turkey neck’) is through botulinum toxin injections, RF needling (radiofrequency) or High intensity Focused Ultrasound skin tightening technology (HIFU).
Read on for the best procedures for neck tightening and lifting, and how to achieve a neck lift without surgery.
Botox for turkey neck
Botulinum toxin injections (Botox) works as a muscle relaxant, tightening and redefining the neck and jawline.
The treatment is injected superficially to the platysma muscle to relax this and this will offer a youthful and lifted appearance to the neck. The platysma is a broad sheet of superficial muscle arising from the chest/shoulders where the muscle fibres cross the collarbone up through the neck and connecting above the jawline.
Neck bands in the platysma become most noticeable with age and these band pull in upward and downward directions, which can often contribute to an ageing and sagging appearance.

Non-surgical neck lift with Profhilo
Profhilo is a great way to treat necks that have a mild lines or sagging. Profhilo uses a unique and patented 100% ultra pure hyaluronic acid formulation that is totally different to standard hyaluronic acid dermal filler treatments. Profhilo does not add volume to the areas treated, instead working to encourage the production of 4 different types of collagen and elastin whilst increasing the skin hydration and moisture levels. This process is called bioremodelling.
When Profhilo is carefully and precisely placed across areas of skin laxity on the neck via a BAP technique, this helps to restore structure and smoothness to the skin on the neck and can give the impression of a subtle lift and tighter appearance to the skin.
We are Birmingham’s leading Profhilo clinic, and the only independent medical clinic within Birmingham inner city centre and The Mailbox recognised as an authorised provider and have received HA-Derma training.
