Modern technologies, especially our smartphones and tablets, have transformed every aspect of our daily lives. We rely on technology for just about everything, and for the most part, technological advances have provided us with many benefits. However, there are some potential drawbacks to increased technology reliance, including the development of tech neck lines. In this blog, we’re going to discuss how increased device usage can lead to the development of tech neck lines as well as recommend the best available products at Derm Skincare that can be used to address these premature signs of aging.

What Are Tech Neck Lines?

Tech neck lines are premature neck and chest lines that are caused by the amount of time we spend looking down at our devices. These lines can appear directly below the chin and all the way down to the décolleté (upper chest).

Can Products Address Tech Neck Lines, or Do I Need Cosmetic Dermatology Procedures?

In many cases, adding products to your skincare routine that are specifically formulated for the sensitive skin on the neck and those that are created to promote antiaging benefits can significantly improve the appearance of tech neck lines. There are many skincare products available that can help those who want to improve the appearance of tech neck lines. Below, our knowledgeable dermatologists have curated a list of our most recommended skincare products for tech neck lines.

Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology

Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology is our first recommended skincare product to address tech neck lines. This product was specifically created to help the skin heal and regenerate after being injured, burned, damaged, or as an aid to healing and recovery after procedures. By supporting the skin’s natural healing processes and promoting the production of healthy collagen and elastin, Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology dramatically improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including tech neck lines.

Revision Skincare Nectifirm

Revision Skincare Nectifirm is a skincare product that is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of sensitive skin on the neck. From rough skin and laxity to tech neck lines, Revision Skincare Nectifirm offers a dramatic improvement in the appearance of skin. Skin on the neck ages differently, and Revision Skincare Nectifirm is specifically formulated to address this unique aging process. Made from a blend of potent but gentle ingredients, this product is safe for use by people of all skin types.

Revision Skincare Nectifirm Advanced

If you need an added antioxidant boost for your neck, Revision Skincare Nectifirm Advanced may be your best option. This product is formulated for more moderate or advanced signs of aging on the neck, including moderately deep tech neck lines. If you’ve tried the Revision Skincare Nectifirm solution and aren’t seeing your desired results, the advanced formula, which includes more than eight different peptides, is strong enough to improve the appearance of deeper tech neck lines. In addition to repairing deep lines on the neck and décolleté, Revision Skincare Nectifirm Advanced also offers an antioxidant boost that helps to protect skin from future damage.

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

Unlike the Revision skincare products that are formulated specifically for the neck, SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is an antiaging cream created to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, skin dryness, and other signs of aging on the face, neck, and chest. This product is strong enough to improve the appearance of even the deepest tech neck lines, but it is gentle enough to be used by people with all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.

SkinCeuticals A.G.E Interrupter

The SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter is another SkinCeuticals product that isn’t necessarily formulated specifically for the neck. Like the SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, this product is made to address the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This gentle skincare product is also effective at improving the appearance of crepey or loose skin, and uneven skin texture, and it restores moisture. SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter is safe for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Skinmedica TNS Recovery Complex

Like the Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology and the SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 and A.G.E Interrupter, Skinmedica TNS Recovery Complex isn’t specifically formulated for neck lines. Instead, this innovative skincare product is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and chest. It’s safe enough for use by people of all skin types. In fact, Skinmedica TNS Recovery Complex is so gentle that it can be used twice a day after cleansing and toning skin even by most people with sensitive skin.

Can Tech Neck Be Prevented?

In addition to using the skincare products we describe in this blog to address tech neck lines after they develop, you can take steps to prevent these lines before they form. It’s essential to include your neck as part of your daily skincare routine. You should wash, exfoliate, and moisturize your neck as part of your skincare regimen. Additionally, you can take the following preventive steps to reduce the risk of developing tech neck lines:

• • Wear sunscreen every day to avoid accelerated aging that occurs due to sun exposure and can make tech neck lines even more noticeable
• • Sleep on fewer pillows, so your neck isn’t bent during the night
• • Adjust your posture when looking at screens by holding your phone or tablet up higher and elevating your computer screen
• • Use serums and other skincare products that have antioxidants, retinol, and peptides to promote skin cell turnover and reduce the risk of developing fine lines and wrinkles
