Crepey Skin explained

Crepey skin happens when collagen and elastin decline from ageing, sun damage or weight loss, so the skin becomes thin and finely wrinkled. It is a skin quality problem, not mainly a fat problem.

How Crepey Skin works

RF devices and RF microneedling heat the dermis to trigger collagen remodelling and mild tightening. Biostimulators such as Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) or Juvelook are injected in a diluted form to slowly build new collagen. Skin boosters or PDRN improve hydration and texture. A combination usually works better than one method, and daily sunscreen helps protect results.
