Want in on an insider secret? 2025 is all about the neck. Wrinkles and crepey skin on the neck are often signs of aging that sneak up on us, and the neck is commonly neglected when it comes to skincare treatments and product application. Following cumulative years of sun exposure compounded with a loss of collagen and elastin, we begin to notice signs of horizontal “tech neck lines,” sun damage, and sagging skin. Here at JECT, we have a variety of safe and effective non-invasive services to protect and maintain the integrity of the skin on your neck.
From a product standpoint, it’s crucial to treat the neck consistently with medical grade skincare–the same products that you use on your face! This includes a mineral-based sunscreen, antioxidants such as vitamin C, moisturizer and retinol. Since the skin of the neck tends to be thinner and more sensitive than the skin of the face, it may be helpful to introduce more potent active ingredients such as retinol every other night to build up a tolerance to skincare products. The JECT Concentrated Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Serum is an excellent formula for the delicate neck area, as its serum base adds moisture to mitigate the dryness and peeling commonly experienced with retinol usage. Sunscreen reapplication throughout the day should always include the neck and chest–the ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Daily mineral SPF 50+ is an excellent lightweight, everyday option.
Treating the neck often requires a multistep, holistic approach. Firstly, the platysmal muscle bands that run vertically down the neck can be treated with wrinkle reducers. The platysmal bands are a group of muscles that connect to our lower face and pull the skin below the jawline downwards, contributing to the look of sagging and jowling. By relaxing this downward pull, we can give a slight lift to the neck and jawline. In terms of devices, radiofrequency microneedling delivers energy through precise needle punctures to stimulate collagen and elastin and reduce sagging skin on the neck. For tech neck lines, soft hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as Skinvive can hydrate and fill the horizontal lines of the neck.
