M1 Med Beauty offers doctor-performed treatment options for horizontal neck lines, neck folds and the creases commonly known as “tech neck”. Following a clinical assessment, a doctor will discuss appropriate treatment options based on individual anatomy, clinical considerations and aesthetic goals. Consultations are available at our Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD clinics. Free consultations.
Both neck lines and neck folds are horizontal creases that can appear across the front of the neck. They may differ in their appearance, depth and prominence.
Neck lines are typically finer, more superficial horizontal creases. They may be more noticeable in certain positions, such as when looking straight ahead or tilting the head. The skin on the neck is generally thinner than facial skin, and a range of factors — including skin characteristics, genetics, lifestyle factors and repeated neck movement — may contribute to their appearance.
The term “tech neck” is commonly used to describe neck lines that may be associated with frequent downward head positioning during screen use.
Neck folds are generally deeper and more pronounced than neck lines. They may be associated with factors such as skin laxity, changes in tissue support, weight fluctuations and other individual characteristics. Compared with finer neck lines, neck folds may create a more visible layered appearance across the front of the neck.
The appearance and severity of neck lines and neck folds can vary considerably between individuals. A doctor can assess the neck area and discuss suitable treatment options based on individual anatomy and treatment goals.
Neck lines and neck folds may be addressed using the same treatment approach, although treatment planning varies according to the characteristics of the area being treated and individual anatomy.
During your consultation, a doctor will assess the neck and discuss suitable treatment options based on your individual circumstances and treatment goals. Potential benefits, limitations, risks and treatment considerations will be explained before any treatment proceeds.
Individual recovery experiences vary. Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising may occur in the treated area following treatment. Your doctor will provide aftercare instructions and discuss any post-treatment considerations with you before you leave.
A range of factors may contribute to the appearance of neck lines and neck folds. These can include individual skin characteristics, genetics, body composition, weight fluctuations and repeated neck movement over time.
The term “tech neck” is commonly used to describe neck lines that may be associated with frequent downward head positioning during screen use, such as when using a phone, tablet or computer.
Neck lines are generally finer and more superficial in appearance, while neck folds tend to be deeper and more pronounced. The appearance and severity of both can vary considerably between individuals.
“Tech neck” is the horizontal neck creasing caused or worsened by spending extended time looking down at phones, laptops and screens. When the head tilts forward, the weight on the neck increases substantially and the skin at the front is repeatedly compressed and folded in the same places. Over time these creases become more permanent. A doctor-performed volumising treatment may help hydrate and support the skin and may improve the appearance of tech neck lines.
Treatment options may be available for the appearance of deeper neck folds, depending on individual anatomy and clinical considerations.
A doctor-performed volumising treatment may be considered for this area and may help support the skin and improve the appearance of neck folds in some individuals. Treatment suitability and outcomes vary between patients.
During your consultation, a doctor will assess the neck area and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances, along with the potential benefits, limitations, risks and treatment considerations.
No. A neck lift at M1 Med Beauty is a different approach that addresses the muscles and skin of the neck and jawline area, not the horizontal lines themselves. Horizontal neck lines and neck folds are treated with a volumising approach that works within the skin. If you are unsure which applies to your concern, your doctor will clarify at consultation.
