“Neck consults are on the rise earlier than ever,” says Dr. Shereene Idriss of Manhattan’s Wexler Dermatology Group. The reason? Rising complaints (both physical and aesthetic) about “tech neck,” which can result from too much time bent over a phone or laptop.

To combat increasing concerns, dermatologists, skin care specialists, and facialists are implementing new strategies and techniques to minimize the visible damage caused to delicate décolletage by the repetitive tilting that goes along with constantly checking a screen.

Julie Lynge, the Sausalito, California–based body therapist known for her Facelift Massage Therapy, which aims to prevent unflattering textural skin changes, recommends training yourself to arch your back, even just by reclining with a tennis ball strategically placed between the shoulder blades, which is enough to lengthen shortened chest muscles that accentuate fine lines across the décolletage.

“Everything is connected to your neck,” she says. “Constantly looking down creates micro-movements in your face that weigh on the skin.”

The healing power of touch is equally embraced by New York’s FaceLove team, whose pop-up at tenoverten’s culty Fulton street salon offers treatments like their PureLove massage, mixing acupressure, facial exercises, and neck and shoulder manipulation to boost circulation and recuperate lazy muscles.

For a more extreme approach, new microcurrent and radiofrequency therapy devices are at the forefront of non-invasive options. At Mario Tricoci’s illustrious Chicago day spa, clients are booking repeated sessions of the new Powerlift 2.0 Youth Firm for Neck and Decollete treatment, which implements Dermasound technology to address sagging and laxity.

The multi-step process includes exfoliating skin with a mix of ultrasonic waves and pure water, multiple passes of a microcurrent wand that instantly lifts skin and stimulates collagen production, a smoothing peel for “neckband wrinkle reduction,” and finally an ultrasonic product infusion that allows line-plumping ingredients to penetrate 10,000 percent deeper into the skin than they could from applying by hand.

For an appointment-free lift, the just-launched Newa Skin Rejuvenation System is the first of its kind to administer 3Deep Radiofrequency technology in an at-home device.

The handheld, when smoothed across the jawline with its activator gel, penetrates energy into the dermis to stimulate collagen painlessly—and with clinical studies showing a reduction in wrinkles and sagging in as little as a month, it rivals the results of old-school injectables without a long winded trip to the dermatologist.
