AESTHETIC NEWS
As more people are spending their days on tablets, phones and laptops, technology appears to be takings its toll on the body, especially the neck. Looking down at screens for extended periods of time can result in horizontal creases around the neck that age the area much earlier than in years past.
Dubbed “tech neck,” this aesthetic concern is becoming a common reason for individuals to head to plastic surgeons in New York City. Fortunately, there are a number of tech neck treatment options that can return the skin around the neck to its smoother, more youthful condition.
Injectable fillers like Juvederm and Restylane effectively smooth away wrinkles from the inside out, by restoring support to the underlying skin structure. These solutions take just a few minutes to inject, and the results can last many months before a touch-up treatment is required. Injectable fillers are one of the fastest and most cost-effective methods for minimizing the appearance of tech neck.
A non-invasive treatment known as Ultherapy can also be used to eliminate signs of aging on the neck. This procedure uses ultrasound technology to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the body’s own production of collagen and elastin. As more collagen is produced, skin becomes noticeably smoother and refreshed, without the need for needles, incisions or downtime.
This procedure uses radio-frequency waves to deliver energy to the underlying layers of skin via tiny pins. The energy stimulates the body’s own healing process, creating softer smoother skin. Collagen production is also boosted, to support the underlying skin structure for long-lasting results. The selective ablation process involved in Fractora means faster healing times with a significant improvement to the skin’s appearance.
Laser skin treatments can also be used to address tech neck, restoring suppleness to the neck for a more youthful appearance. Non-ablative treatments can be performed quickly and require no recovery time afterward. Ablative treatments do involve a recovery period, but the results are more dramatic and last even longer. Laser energy is directed beneath the surface of the skin, smoothing away the horizontal creases that characterize tech neck.
The most dramatic results in a tech neck treatment can be achieved through a surgical procedure known as a neck lift. This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and tissue, tightening and smoothing the neck for an improved contour and greater definition between the neck and jawline. Neck lifts can be customized to the specific needs of the patients, with smaller incisions and shorter recovery times often required to address the concerns associated with tech neck.
A neck lift can be performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure typically involves small incisions located underneath the chin, where they will not be visible after surgery. If a mini lift is recommended, the procedure may be performed through a small incision behind the ear. Most patients are able to return to work within 5-12 days after a neck lift procedure.
