Crepey skin is one of the most common concerns I see in clinic. It often appears as thin, fragile, finely wrinkled skin that can affect the face, neck, décolletage, around the eyes and even the hands.

Crepey skin develops due to a combination of collagen loss, dehydration, sun damage, hormonal changes and the natural ageing process.

The good news is that effective treatments are available. In my experience, the best results come from combining evidence-based in-clinic treatments with a personalised medical-grade skincare routine.

What Causes Crepey Skin?

Crepey skin develops as a result of multiple factors, including:

• Loss of collagen and elastin
• Chronic sun exposure and UV damage
• Hormonal changes, particularly during menopause
• Dehydration and impaired skin barrier function
• Significant weight loss
• The natural ageing process

As collagen production declines, skin can become thinner, less elastic and more fragile, resulting in the characteristic crepey appearance.

Best In-Clinic Treatments for Crepey Skin

The most effective treatment plan for crepey skin depends on the severity of collagen loss, skin laxity, skin quality and your individual concerns. In many cases, a combination approach provides the best results.

Profhilo

Profhilo (bio-Remodellor) is one of my favourite treatments for crepey skin. It deeply hydrates the skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production, making it an excellent option for the face, neck and décolletage.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

Emcyte PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate tissue repair and collagen production. It can significantly improve skin quality, particularly in delicate areas such as the under-eye region.

Rejuran Polynucleotides

Rejuran supports skin regeneration and repair, improving skin texture, elasticity and overall skin quality.

Sculptra

Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production over time. It is ideal for patients experiencing more advanced collagen loss and skin thinning.

Skin Boosters

Skin boosters such as Juvederm SkinVive or Restylane Vital skin Boostets improve skin hydration, radiance and elasticity, helping restore a smoother and healthier appearance.

LED Therapy

Medilux LED therapy can reduce inflammation, support healing and enhance treatment outcomes when combined with other rejuvenation treatments.

My Approach to Treating Crepey Skin

Every patient experiences crepey skin differently. During your consultation, I assess your skin quality, degree of collagen loss, hydration levels and overall facial structure before creating a personalised treatment plan.

Often, the best results come from combining collagen-stimulating treatments with a consistent medical-grade skincare routine.

My philosophy is always to achieve natural, refreshed results while supporting long-term skin health.
