Concern guide
A fine, crinkled surface can develop as skin loses moisture, thickness and elasticity through ageing, sun exposure and weight change.
Understanding
Crepey skin is the name often given to many shallow, paper-like lines rather than a single pronounced wrinkle. It tends to show on thinner areas such as the neck, upper arms, stomach and skin around the eyes.
Treatment planning depends on location, sensitivity and how much true looseness is present. Surface care may help dryness, while selected energy treatments address firmness; neither can remove a large amount of excess skin.
Compare your options
A consultation is the starting point: the most appropriate option depends on what is creating the concern, your goals and your medical history.

HIFU places focused ultrasound energy at planned depths to encourage a firmer appearance in selected areas of mildly crepey or loose skin. It cannot remove substantial folds and will not recreate the result of surgery.
Why consider itA possible option where reduced firmness is contributing more than simple surface dryness.
Before you decide
Delicate or thin skin needs conservative treatment because it may bruise, react to heat or develop pigment changes more easily. Any improvement appears gradually and benefits from regular moisturising and sun protection. Active skin disease, healing problems or relevant medication should be discussed during assessment.
Common questions
Collagen and elasticity change with age, while ultraviolet exposure, dryness, genetics and significant weight loss can make the texture more obvious.
Moisturiser can make dry skin look smoother and feel more comfortable, but it cannot reverse established laxity.
No. Device-based treatments are better suited to mild looseness and cannot take away a substantial amount of spare tissue.
