CARING FOR YOUR ‘JECK’
by Metropol
‘jeck’ ‘jeck’
In recent years, the team at the Skin Rejuvenation Clinic has seen the sort of aging in the neck area on women in their 20s that, in the past, would have been expected to be seen on women in their 50s or 60s. This so-called ‘tech neck’ is a problematic phenomenon, as the constant motion of looking down at our phones is creating deep folds in the skin, which, over time and with repetition, causes the skin to ‘detach’ from the underside of the epidermis.

Ultherapy – micro-focused ultrasound – the only FDA approved non-invasive facelift treatment.
EndyMed – Radiofrequency – uses heat to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
IPL – intense pulsed light – to lift sundamage from the skin and stimulate collagen production.

On Pointe Studio Retreat at Te Arai Lodge Keep on moving
With many people now able to work from home more often, New Zealanders are sitting more and moving less, putting them at greater risk of heart disease, according to new advice from the Heart Foundation.
For many industries, working from home is more common in the Covid-19 era and it’s likely to have a big impact on the amount we are moving during the day, which is a ecting our health,” says Heart Foundation National Advisor, Lily Henderson.
“We’ve looked at the evidence and the impact of too much sitting and not enough physical activity is clear,” Lily says. “People who sat the most had a risk of heart disease that was 29 percent greater than those who sat the least.”
The Heart Foundation’s advice is to reduce and limit long periods of sitting and to incorporate any type of movement during the day to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Try these:
Stand up and stretch throughout the day, i.e. 2 minutes of stretching every hour.
Find an online workout or yoga class to do during your lunch break.
Schedule short bursts of physical activity into your day (either before, during or after work).
Take phone or video calls while standing with headphones on.
Set a daily or weekly goal for physical activity and celebrate small wins as you go.
Live your best life.
