There are plenty of things that are actually within our control, like choosing our fragrance or the clothes we wear on any given day. But the development of neck wrinkles? Not so much. The intrusion of fine lines and wrinkles on our once-porcelain skin is a part of the human experience; it happens as we expose our skin to UV damage, look down to look at our phones, and lose collagen and elastin as the years trickle by. “Since the skin on the neck is thinner than the skin on the rest of the body, it can show signs of wrinkles and sagging sooner than other locations,” says Dr. Marisa Garshick, a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology.
However, several methods are available to slow the progression of these intruders or even reverse it if you so choose. Beyond in-office procedures, like microneedling and Botox, at-home products like neck creams and red light therapy devices for the neck are designed to smooth, soften, and prevent neck lines. Another useful tool is the neck patch, which uses the same technology as your favorite forehead wrinkle patches. “These are adhesive patches that minimize movement while you sleep to prevent wrinkling,” says Dr. Deanne Mraz a board-certified dermatologist and the president and co-founder of Modern Dermatology in Westport, CT. “They are most often made of silicone, which has hydrating and healing properties for the skin.” You do have to use them pretty often to maintain the results, but it’s a gentler alternative to more invasive procedures.
Our top picks for the best neck patches of 2025
After speaking to the above experts, tirelessly traversing the internet to find top-rated options, and reading plenty of customer reviews, we feel confident enough to bring you our list of the five best neck patches for a firmer, younger-looking neck. Keep scrolling and take your pick!
Pros
Covers both neck and décolleté- Shorter treatment time
Cons
- Changes may be subtler at first
According to Dr. Mraz, these patches from Patchology “are a great pre-special event treatment that can yield benefits after just five minutes of use,” she says. The hydrogel masks utilize ingredients like copper peptides, collagen, and adenosine to firm, plump, and brighten the neck and chest area.
Count: 6 x 2 patches
Patchology rating: 4.9/5 stars
A Patchology reviewer says: “This mask single-handedly erases my tech neck. Between spending so much time on my computer hunched over and tucking my neck in, it has caused major lines that I couldn’t seem to get rid of until now. The mask is so hydrating and really smooths out those lines.”
Pros
- Stays in place well
Cons
- May not fit everyone perfectly
These neck patches are 100 percent medical-grade silicone and come highly recommended by our experts. “Used consistently overtime, the gentle compression can prevent new wrinkle formation from movements during sleep,” explains Dr. Mraz.
Count: 1 patch
Sio rating: 3.8/5 stars
A Sio reviewer says: “I’ve developed numerous wrinkles and creepiness in my lower neck area that serums and creams have not improved. The only positive results that I have discovered are from the regular use of the Sio NeckLift. I have a subscription and plan to continue its use.”

Best Reusable
Wrinkles Schminkles Neck Wrinkle Patch
Pros
- Keeps skin hydrated
- Cruelty-free
Cons
- May be uncomfortable to sleep in
When you’re constantly looking down at your phone or laptop, it’s almost inevitable that wrinkles will form over the years. “This targets the lines commonly associated with tech neck and can be left on overnight,” says Dr. Garshick. You can reuse it up to 20 times, making it a lot more cost-effective than you’d think.
Count: 1 patch
Amazon rating: 3.3/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “The patch immediately makes the skin feel tighter. I was able to wear the patch for several nights before a trip and also easily slipped it in the pocket of my luggage to take with me. I felt like it really helped the wrinkles appear less visible in every picture. I wore the patch whenever I was resting or in the evenings, and it was both convenient, easy to apply, and remove, and left me with some great memorable pictures from the vacation. Well worth the expense, and a great non-invasive way to reduce the look of wrinkles.”
Best for Neck & Décolleté
Nurse Jamie Neck & Décolleté Wrap Skin Perfecting Silicone Treatment
Pros
- Reusable
- Can be used on different parts of the body
Cons
- Some dislike scent
Celebrity skin care expert Nurse Jamie developed this silicone wrap to help firm skin and soften lines on the neck or chest areas, depending on where you place it. For best results, apply your go-to neck cream or serum before wearing the wrap for about 20 minutes for extra hydration.
Count: 1 patch
Amazon rating: 3.6/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “This wrap is a must for anyone who has spent a little too much time in the sun or is entering the ‘mature’ phase of their life. I tend to think my skin looks youthful, but for some reason, my décolleté reads as ‘older.’ Nurse Jamie’s wrap has made a huge difference. I don’t know what’s in it, but I know it works! Everything looks dewy and smooth now. It’s super easy to use (it’s actually relaxing!), comfortable, and a lifesaver for anyone who wears tank tops or when you want a more revealing evening look. I actually got in a fight with my sister when she tried to borrow it. I told her to order her own, and she did—immediately.”

Pros
- Plumps and hydrates the skin
Cons
- Some report having trouble keeping it in place
Unlike the other options on this list, this one from Meditherapy is a mesh sheet that comes pre-soaked in a hydrating essence. The formula contains ingredients like collagen to plump and firm as the sheet holds everything in place. If you’re already doing face masks for your face, why not try one for your neck?
Count: 7 patches
Amazon rating: 3.9/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “At first, I was a bit hesitant to purchase this item, but let me say one thing—it’s magic. My neck looks amazing! And the little bit of serum left inside the pouch I applied it on my hands and arms, and it worked as well!”

Does anyone need to avoid neck patches?
Dr. Garshick says that while neck patches are generally safe, “those with sensitive skin should always be cautious when using any new products.” Meanwhile, Dr. Mraz also warns against trying them “if you have an open wound or rash on your neck,” she says. “It would be best to wait until it has resolved before wearing a neck patch.”
What are some other effective ways to treat neck wrinkles and sagging?
“Like most things in cosmetic dermatology, the holy trinity here is in-office treatments, at-home skincare, and lifestyle choices,” says Dr. Mraz. Here’s her comprehensive guide to reducing neck wrinkles:
In-Office: Toxins to minimize muscle movements of the platysmal bands, dermal fillers to plump up deep creases, microneedling with radio frequency, such as Genius, to stimulate collagen production, and lasers to resurface the skin and stimulate collagen production.
At-Home: Chemical exfoliation with AHAs and/or retinols to speed up the skin cell turnover rate, hydrating serums and lotions (with hyaluronic acid, peptides and antioxidants) to support collagen synthesis, neck patches or taping to minimize movement at night and boost hydration, and red light therapy to boost collagen.
Lifestyle: Daily mineral SPF 30+ reapplied every two hours during sun exposure, no smoking, and technology props to elevate your screens and minimize “tech neck.”
