Dermatologists are blaming smartphones and tablets for causing sagging skin and wrinkles in younger generations, including a wrinkling condition dubbed “tech neck”.


“Neck skin is exposed to sun every day because of low neckline, especially in women, but people are less inclined to think of protecting their necks than their faces.
“This is bad news for neck skin as it starts off finer and sun thins it further. Finer skin wrinkles more readily and the fat of the neck may sag.”


Research conducted by the Swedish Hardell group found that mobile phone use has been linked to specific types of brain tumour, while a recent study published in Surgery Technology International found that heavy use causes back problems.

“As the head tilts forward the forces seen by the neck surges to 27 pounds at 15 degrees, 40 pounds at 30 degrees, 49 pounds at 45 degrees and 60 pounds at 60 degrees,” said Kenneth Hansraj, a back surgeon and author of the study.

Many women I treat accept their wrinkles and fine lines but what they cannot accept is their new facial expressions,” said dermatologist Dr Thierry Michaud, who works on the YSL Skin Science team.
“Inappropriate expressions are due to a loss of facial volumes – sagging skin, less defined contours, creased neck.”

ピラティスセッションでは姿勢改善や特に首のポジショニングに細かいキュ―イングをしているのはクライアントの皆様がご存知の既にとおり。そして、エステでは「「首も(デコルテも!)お顔と同じようにお手入れしてください。顔に塗るものは全て首とデコルテまで塗布してあげてください」と常々お伝えしていますが、それはこういうことです。

身体は一生使うもの。そして皮膚は全身を包み込む最大の臓器であり、一枚の皮。顔だけではなく全身まんべんなくバランスよく手をいれていきましょうね!
