Concern guide
Crepey texture can appear as skin becomes thinner, drier and less elastic with age and sun exposure.
Understanding
Crepey skin describes a fine, crinkled texture rather than one deep wrinkle. It commonly appears on the neck, upper arms, abdomen or around the eyes as collagen, elasticity and hydration change.
The location, thickness and degree of laxity determine whether surface care, microneedling or an energy-based tightening option is reasonable. Severe looseness will not be corrected non-surgically.
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 delivers focused ultrasound to selected tissue depths around thin or finely wrinkled skin on the face or body. It may be discussed where skin laxity contributes, but it is not a substitute for fat reduction or surgery.
Why consider itMost relevant when reduced firmness is a significant part of the concern around thin or finely wrinkled skin on the face or body.
Before you decide
Thin skin can be more vulnerable to heat, needling and pigment change, so conservative settings and experienced assessment matter. Results are gradual and should be supported by moisturising and sun protection. Bruising, skin disease or medicines that affect healing need discussion first.
Common questions
Ageing, sun exposure, dryness, genetics and major weight change can reduce skin thickness and elasticity.
Moisturiser can improve dryness and surface appearance but does not remove established skin laxity.
No. Energy treatments may create a modest improvement in mild laxity but cannot remove substantial excess skin.
