I Just Learned You Can Get Botox for "Tech Neck," and I'm Sprinting to My Derm


I try not to obsess about it, but my “tech neck” bands really bother me sometimes. Despite having tried most things to help them appear less prominent—from the Lyma laser to microcurrent—nothing seems to completely get rid of them. Don’t get me wrong; using a laser consistently and a microcurrent device has made a huge difference, and I’m grateful, but sometimes, when my skin gets extra dehydrated or it’s winter, they come back with a vengeance and really stick out. While adding extra hydration does help, I’m starting to consider other solutions to help smooth them out a little better.

As luck would have it, I just recently learned that you can use neuromodulators like Botox to relax the lines on your neck, just like you would for other areas of the face. I have gotten Botox in my forehead and brow area before, so I’m no stranger to injections, but I have a lot of questions when it comes to using it for your neck bands. To get a little more insight, I talked to a few experts. Keep reading for what they had to say.
