If you’re like most people, your day is spent mostly looking down at a phone, laptop, or tablet. While this is part of modern life, it comes with an unexpected side effect. Do you know those fine lines, sagging skin, and deep creases that develop on the neck and jawline due to prolonged downward head positioning? Yes, that’s Tech Neck. 

It is a common ailment caused by long periods spent on smartphones, tablets, and computers, leading to muscle imbalances, pain, and potentially long-term postural changes. Over time, this repeated movement leads to premature aging even in your 20s and 30s. 

At BEIAMED, some of our clients come in with concerns like:

• Horizontal neck lines
• Double chin
• Sagging neck skin
• Early jowls and loss of jawline definition

Causes of Tech Neck

The human head weighs about 10-12 pounds. When you tilt forward at a 45-60 degree angle, as we do while texting or scrolling, that pressure multiplies, straining the delicate muscles and skin in the neck area.

The excessive screen time from blue light emitted by digital devices can contribute to premature skin aging. This is caused by the oxidative stress blue light causes, which damages skin cells and accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. This blue light exposure has been linked to increased pigmentation, swelling, and redness, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones. 

It’s a problem that’s bound to get worse as people spend more time on their devices. According to the digital reference library DataPortal, Americans spend an average of seven hours per day on screens. 

This leads to:

• Breakdown of collagen and elastin
• Skin laxity and fine lines
• Fat accumulation under the chin
• Loss of contour between the jaw and neck

The BEIAMED SOLUTION 

At BEIAMED, we specialize in non-surgical facial and body rejuvenation. If you’re dealing with early signs of tech neck, we offer safe, effective treatments that restore firmness and definition with no needles or downtime required.

SkinFirm Neck Lift

This signature BEIAMED treatment uses advanced energy-based technology to stimulate collagen and tighten loose skin. It’s ideal for:

• Smoothing horizontal necklines
• Lifting sagging neck skin
• Defining the jawline

SkinFirm is completely non-invasive, painless, and requires zero recovery time. Most clients notice visible results after the first session, with improvements continuing over several weeks.

Jawline Contouring

For clients with a mild double chin or soft jawline definition, we offer non-surgical fat-reduction treatments that permanently melt small pockets of fat, giving you a sharper, cleaner jawline without surgery.

Laser Treatments

Laser treatments can address surface-level concerns like horizontal necklines and uneven skin tone by removing the outer layer of skin, encouraging new, healthier skin to emerge. Certain lasers also heat the deeper layers of skin to contract collagen fibers and firm up loose skin.

Daily Habits That Make a Difference

In addition to treatment, small lifestyle shifts can slow or prevent tech neck:

• Hold your phone at eye level to reduce downward pressure. A better way to sit is with the chair reclining 25 to 30 degrees with good lumbar support to prevent slouching. 
• Invest in a laptop stand to enhance your posture while working.
• Apply sunscreen to your neck and jawline daily.
• Use retinol or peptides in your neck skincare routine to support collagen health.

Pairing these habits with regular maintenance treatments at BEIAMED is sure to yield long-term results that appear and feel natural. We combine medical expertise with personalized care to help you look your best. 

Financing is also available, allowing you to estimate your budget or select the treatments you can finance.
