There’s a reason your skincare isn’t cutting it below the jawline. We’re living in a world where the average person looks down at their phone over 150 times a day. Every one of those moments leaves a mark.
Tech Neck is real and it's becoming one of the most common ageing concerns we treat.

What is Tech Neck?
Tech Neck refers to the visible signs of ageing caused by constant downward screen use:
Horizontal neck lines (also called necklace lines)
Sagging under the chin
Crepey or folded skin
Loss of jawline definition
As dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto told Vogue...
“We’re seeing a rise in neck wrinkles in younger clients because of how much time is spent looking down at devices.”
The result? The lower face and neck start ageing faster than the rest of you even if your skincare is flawless
How We Treat It at You
We take a layered, results-driven approach to Tech Neck, targeting both skin quality and deeper structural changes. Every treatment plan is bespoke, but these are our go-to options:
1. SkinTight
Heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen, tighten loose areas and firm the neck. A favourite for mild to moderate sagging
2. Sculpt Lift Pro
Lifts and tones the neck muscles using low-level electrical impulses. Think of it as a workout for your jawline and lower face
3. Contour Max
For deeper lifting and sculpting, Contour Max uses focused ultrasound to target structural layers. Ideal for noticeable laxity or jowls
4. Injectables: Wrinkle Softening and Skin Boosters
Wrinkle Softening injections smooth out horizontal lines and vertical neck bands
Skin Boosters improve hydration, elasticity and texture without adding volume
5. Skin Drench Facial
A high-performance facial that deeply hydrates and plumps the neck and lower face using clinically active ingredients. Ideal for crepey, dehydrated skin

Prevention: 3 Simple Posture Fixes to Help Prevent Tech Neck
While we’ve got the treatments covered, your daily habits matter too. These small changes can reduce strain and help keep signs of Tech Neck at bay:
1. Raise your screen to eye level, whether it’s your phone or laptop, bring your screen up instead of dropping your head down
2. Check your posture regularly, set an hourly reminder to reset your posture. Shoulders back, chin level, and ears aligned with your shoulders
3. Use voice-to-text or hold your phone higher, if you message a lot, speak instead of type or lift your phone instead of collapsing your chin
