Neck & Jawline Lift London

A defined jawline and a smooth, youthful neck are foundational to facial harmony — and among the first areas to show the visible effects of ageing. The Neck & Jawline Lift at Vitalumina is a doctor-led muscle-relaxing injectable treatment that targets the platysma muscle bands of the neck and, where clinically appropriate, the muscles that pull the jawline downward — restoring definition and a lifted, refreshed appearance without adding volume.

Dr Gregorio De Carvalho assesses every patient individually before recommending any treatment.

What is a Neck & Jawline Lift?

The Neck & Jawline Lift is a non-surgical, doctor-led muscle-relaxing injectable treatment that refines the lower face and neck without surgery, anaesthesia or significant downtime. It works by selectively reducing activity in targeted muscles — such as the platysma — that, with age and repeated contraction, pull the lower face downward and create visible neck bands and a blurred jawline.

The injectable used is a botulinum toxin, administered in small, precise amounts to relax specific muscles rather than to add volume. This is a different approach to a dermal filler, which adds or supports volume and structure, and to thread lifting, which provides mechanical, physical repositioning of tissue. Dr Gregorio will advise during consultation which approach — or combination — is most appropriate for your individual anatomy and goals.

At Vitalumina, every Neck & Jawline Lift begins with a thorough consultation. Dr Gregorio assesses the platysma bands, the jawline structure, the skin quality of the neck and your aesthetic goals before recommending any treatment. The result is a more defined jawline, smoother neck contour and a lifted, refreshed appearance — all achieved in a single in-clinic session.

A non-surgical lift for the lower face and neck

The neck and jawline are areas where the early signs of ageing show most clearly — vertical bands across the neck, sagging along the jawline, and a softening of the angle between neck and jaw. These changes are driven in part by overactive muscle pull. Carefully relaxing those muscles with a precise injection technique allows the upward-pulling muscles to lift the area naturally, producing a visible non-surgical lifting effect.

The technique is gradual and progressive. Definition develops over 2–4 weeks as the treated muscles relax, producing a result that looks entirely natural. Most patients describe the change as looking refreshed and rested rather than treated — which is exactly the goal.

Your Neck & Jawline Lift journey. Step by step.

A clear, doctor-led process from first consultation to a refined, lifted result. Dr Gregorio assesses your neck and jawline anatomy individually and designs a personalised treatment protocol before any treatment is performed.

Consultation & Assessment

01
Dr Gregorio assesses the platysma muscle bands, the jawline structure, the skin quality of the neck and your aesthetic goals. He explains the treatment process, realistic outcomes and the expected timeline for results. No treatment is recommended without a complete clinical assessment.

Technique Mapping

02
The platysma bands and the jawline muscles are carefully mapped. The treatment points are identified along the lower face and neck based on your specific anatomy and the visible muscle pull. Symmetry between both sides is a key consideration in the planning.

Treatment

03
Treatment is administered via a series of small, precise injections along the platysma bands and lower jaw. The procedure takes 30–45 minutes. Mild tenderness in the treated area for 24–48 hours is normal. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Progressive Lifting

04
The treated muscles relax gradually over 1–4 weeks. The jawline becomes visibly more defined, the neck bands soften and the lower face appears lifted. Full results are visible at 4 weeks. A review is offered to assess the outcome and refine if needed.

What the Neck & Jawline Lift addresses.

The Neck & Jawline Lift treatment addresses several concerns related to the lower face and neck. Dr Gregorio assesses each case individually — the benefits experienced vary by patient depending on their anatomy, skin quality and the visible muscle activity.
01

Jawline Definition

A blurred or softening jawline is one of the earliest and most visible signs of ageing. Carefully relaxing the muscles that pull the lower face downward allows the upward muscles to lift naturally, restoring definition and a sharper transition between cheek and neck.
02

Platysma Bands

Vertical cords or bands across the front of the neck, caused by overactive platysma muscle, can become more pronounced with age. The treatment softens these bands, producing a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
03

Neck Smoothing

Beyond the platysma bands themselves, the overall neck surface benefits from reduced muscle tension. The skin appears smoother and the neck-to-jaw transition more graceful.
04

Lifting Effect

By selectively relaxing the muscles that pull the lower face down, the upward-pulling muscles become more dominant — producing a subtle but visible non-surgical lifting effect across the lower third of the face.

Frequently asked questions about the Neck & Jawline Lift in London.

The Neck & Jawline Lift is a non-surgical, doctor-led muscle-relaxing injectable treatment (botulinum toxin) that refines the lower face and neck through a series of precise injections that reduce activity in the platysma muscle of the neck and, where clinically appropriate, the muscles that pull the lower face downward. As these muscles relax, the upward-pulling muscles become more dominant — producing a natural lifting effect, more defined jawline and smoother neck contour. This differs from a dermal filler, which adds volume, and from thread lifting, which physically repositions tissue. Treatment takes 30–45 minutes.
Results from the Neck & Jawline Lift typically last 3–4 months. The platysma is a strong, frequently used muscle, which means duration is slightly shorter than treatments in other facial areas. Most patients maintain their preferred result with a top-up session every 3–4 months. Duration of effect varies between individuals, and repeat treatment may be considered following clinical assessment when appropriate.
Definition begins to develop gradually from 1–2 weeks after treatment, with the full result visible at 4 weeks. Results are progressive and natural throughout — at no point does the neck or jawline look treated or abnormal. A review is offered at 4 weeks to assess the outcome.
When performed by an appropriately qualified medical practitioner in a suitably selected patient, the Neck & Jawline Lift can be performed safely. At Vitalumina, Dr Gregorio De Carvalho has extensive experience with this technique and a detailed understanding of the relevant anatomy. As with any medical procedure, potential side effects and risks should be discussed during consultation, and all treatments are preceded by a full clinical assessment.
Discomfort is minimal. The injections are placed across the lower face and neck using a fine needle technique. Most patients describe a mild stinging sensation at each injection point that resolves immediately. Mild tenderness in the treated area for 24–48 hours is normal. Topical anaesthetic can be applied for sensitive patients.
No. The technique relaxes specific muscles in the lower face and neck without affecting the muscles responsible for facial expression. Smiling, talking and natural movement remain entirely unchanged. The result is a more defined jawline and smoother neck — never a frozen or restricted look.
