How to reduce crepey skin

Crepey skin looks thin, finely wrinkled, or crinkled and is often noticed on the arms, neck, chest, abdomen, or thighs. Ageing, repeated sun exposure, dryness, and changes in skin support can contribute. Sun-Damaged Skin is one possible context, but a clinician can check unusual, widespread, itchy, inflamed, or suddenly changing texture for another cause.

Apply a moisturiser regularly, use broad-spectrum sun protection, and avoid tanning. Gentle washing helps limit dryness; harsh scrubbing can make fine scaling more noticeable. A dermatologist can assess skin thickness, laxity, pigmentation, and the treatment area before discussing options. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening uses controlled energy to heat deeper tissue and may be considered when mild laxity contributes to the appearance; it is not suitable for every person or concern.

Book a clinical review for rapid change, persistent itch, pain, bleeding, sores, marked scaling, or a patch with a different colour or border. Seek prompt advice after any procedure if you develop blistering, severe pain, spreading redness, pus, or worsening pigment change.

Ask what is driving the texture, whether sun damage is present, which skincare ingredients suit your skin, whether Radiofrequency Skin Tightening is appropriate for the area, and how results and aftercare will be assessed.
