Fixing "Tech Neck" and Chest Creases Without Surgery
We spend hours every day looking down at our phones and laptops. This posture has created a modern epidemic: Tech Neck.
It starts as faint horizontal lines across the neck. Over time, these deepen into permanent creases, often accompanied by sagging skin and a "crepey" texture on the chest (décolletage).
While we diligently apply expensive creams to our faces, the neck and chest are often neglected until the damage is visible. Because the skin here is thinner and has fewer oil glands than the face, it ages faster and heals slower.
Fortunately, you don't need a surgical neck lift to fix it. PRP therapy offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to smooth and tighten this delicate area.
Why Your Neck Ages Faster
The skin on your neck is structurally different from your face. It has:
Less collagen: It loses elasticity quicker.
Fewer oil glands: It gets dry and crinkly easily.
Constant movement: Every time you look down, you fold the skin.
Combine thin skin with repetitive folding (looking at screens), and you get deep, etched lines that no moisturiser can erase.
How PRP Smooths Neck Lines
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) uses your body's own healing power to thicken the skin. When injected into the neck lines and across the chest:
It boosts collagen: Growth factors stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This thickens the thinning skin, making it more resilient to folding.
It restores elasticity: New elastin fibres help the skin "snap back" rather than sagging.
It improves texture: The crepey, dry look of the décolletage is replaced by smoother, hydrated skin.
Unlike fillers, which can sometimes look lumpy in the thin neck skin, PRP is completely fluid and natural. It doesn't just fill the line; it repairs the skin structure around the line.

What to Expect
The treatment involves small, precise injections along the horizontal neck lines and across the chest. We use a strong numbing cream, so discomfort is minimal.
Because the neck skin is thin, you may see small bumps (like mosquito bites) immediately after treatment. These absorb within 12-24 hours as the plasma soaks into the deeper layers. Mild bruising is possible but can be covered with a scarf or high collar.
Preventing Future Damage
To get the best results from your treatment, combine it with lifestyle changes:
Screen height: Raise your monitor or phone so you aren't constantly looking down.
SPF: Extend your daily sunscreen down to your chest. Sun damage is the #1 cause of the "leathery" chest look.
Hydration: Use a rich night cream on your neck and chest, not just your face.
Real Results
Improvements are gradual but long-lasting. After a course of 3 treatments, patients typically see:
Softening of deep horizontal lines.
Disappearance of fine, crepey wrinkles.
Tighter, firmer skin under the chin.
A smoother, more even-toned chest.
Don't let your neck betray your age while your face looks youthful. Treat them as a single unit.
