2. Tech Neck
Stuart H. Kaplan, M.D., a Beverly Hills dermatologist has claimed that, unfortunately, many of his younger patients are now asking for Botox to treat the premature wrinkles that have resulted from looking down at their iPhones for too long aka ‘tech neck.’ He said that this occurs due to the repeated creasing of neck skin every time you bend your neck to check a new notification or reply to a message. These may deepen and eventually remain permanently as time goes on. Scary, isn’t it?
To avoid this effect just stop spending so much time with your phone and let your neck relax. Yoga can help too, Dr. Kaplan thinks. It helps your neck lengthen and the muscles in your shoulders, upper back and back of your neck to strengthen. These, in turn, help smooth out the creases quite a lot, but never fully.
