Thin, crepey, or changing skin

Skin Health

Understanding skin thickness, elasticity, hydration, texture, collagen support, and sun-related changes.

Not all crepey skin is the same

Patients may notice thin or fragile-looking skin, fine crinkling, reduced elasticity, increased laxity, visible lines at rest, or makeup settling into fine lines.

These changes may affect the face, jawline, cheeks, neck, décolletage, or hands. The cause should be assessed before treatment is recommended.

Thinning skin

Age-related collagen loss may reduce thickness, elasticity, and structural support.

Crinkled texture

Collagen decline, sun exposure, reduced hydration, and movement can contribute to a crepey appearance.

Laxity and support loss

Changes beneath the skin can contribute to early jowls, jawline softening, neck laxity, and more visible folds.

Treatment planning

Depending on the assessment, a physician may discuss skincare, hydration support, resurfacing, collagen-stimulating procedures, radiofrequency microneedling, selected injectable treatments, or a combination plan.

Suitability, recovery time, expected improvement, maintenance, risks, and alternatives are discussed during consultation. Individual results vary.
