‘Tech neck’ refers to the fine lines, creases, and sagging that appear on the neck due to constantly looking down at screens. While age and genetics play a role in neck ageing, lifestyle habits are accelerating the problem particularly in younger people.
At Injectual, we’re seeing more clients in their 20s, 30s and 40s looking for non-surgical solutions to treat this modern ageing pattern. Because the reality is: if you’re reading this on your phone right now, you’re probably contributing to it.
Why Does the Neck Age Faster?
The skin on your neck is thinner, has fewer oil glands, and is often neglected in skincare routines. That makes it more vulnerable to:
-
Fine horizontal lines
-
Skin laxity (‘turkey neck’)
-
Crepiness and dryness
-
Premature wrinkling from repeated movements
And unlike your face, the neck often gets less sun protection and less hydration despite being just as visible.
The Link Between Screens and Wrinkles
Modern posture habits like looking down at a phone, tablet or laptop force the neck into a forward-folded position. Over time, this repeated motion contributes to:
-
Deep horizontal neck linesMuscle strain
-
Looser skin around the jaw and under the chin
The Best Aesthetic Treatments for Tech Neck at Injectual
We offer a range of effective, non-surgical treatments tailored to smooth, tighten and rejuvenate the neck without downtime or surgery.
1. Botox for Neck Bands
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is used to relax overactive neck muscles (particularly the platysmal bands), smoothing horizontal lines and softening tension-related creases.
2. Profhilo for Skin Hydration & Tightening
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment that spreads through the tissue, improving elasticity and hydration. It’s particularly effective for crepey or loose neck skin.
3. Polynucleotides for Regeneration
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments derived from purified salmon DNA. They work at a cellular level to deeply repair and hydrate tissue while supporting long-term collagen synthesis.
How to Maximise Results
To get the best outcome from your treatments:
-
Stay hydrated before and after appointments
-
Avoid alcohol and heavy exercise 24–48 hours post-treatment
-
Use medical-grade neck skincare consistently
-
Limit screen time when possible or at least raise your device to eye level
Is It Too Late to Treat Tech Neck?
Not at all. Most cases of tech neck respond well to a combination of injectables, collagen-stimulating treatments, and good skincare.
Whether you’ve just started noticing lines or want to treat more visible sagging, we’ll design a treatment plan that meets your skin’s exact needs without surgery or overcorrection.
