Crepey Skin
Crepey skin is one of the most common skin concerns we see in clinic—yet it’s often misunderstood. Unlike dry or sagging skin, crepey skin appears thin, finely wrinkled, and loose in texture, similar to crepe paper. It typically shows up on areas like the under-eyes, neck, arms, and décolletage, and can be challenging to treat with over-the-counter products alone.
At Rejuvenation Clinics of Australia, we take a science-led, tailored approach to skin rejuvenation. This guide explores what causes crepey skin, why it develops, and the most effective non-surgical treatment options available in our Sydney clinics.
What Causes Crepey Skin?
Crepey skin is primarily the result of collagen and elastin breakdown, which are the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity. This breakdown can be accelerated by:
Sun damage (UV exposure)
Ageing and hormonal changes
Loss of hydration and skin volume
Weight fluctuations
Lifestyle factors like smoking or poor nutrition
Unlike deep wrinkles or sagging caused by volume loss, crepey skin is characterised by textural change—it feels fragile and lacks bounce.
Where Does Crepey Skin Commonly Appear?
Crepey skin can occur in multiple areas, especially where the skin is thinner or has had frequent sun exposure:
Under the eyes
Upper eyelids
Neck and décolletage
Inner arms
Hands
Stomach or knees
We offer area-specific treatments to restore strength and hydration depending on your unique concerns.
Effective Treatments for Crepey Skin in Sydney
Our experienced team of doctors and nurses offer a range of evidence-based treatments designed to thicken, firm and rehydrate crepey skin from within.
1. Bio Remodelling Treatments
This treatment is designed to improve skin quality by supporting hydration, elasticity, and firmness. It works beneath the surface to refresh dull, crepey skin—particularly on areas like the face, neck, and décolletage—by promoting skin regeneration and resilience over time.
It’s a popular option for those seeking a subtle, natural-looking boost in skin texture and bounce, without adding volume.
2. Rejuran® Skin Healing Injections
Originally developed in Korea, Rejuran® uses polynucleotides to repair skin at the cellular level. It is particularly effective for fragile areas like under the eyes and neck.
3. RF Needling (Radiofrequency Microneedling)
Combines skin needling with radiofrequency heat to remodel collagen, tighten skin, and improve texture. Especially effective for crepey skin on the body and face.
4. Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Lasers like Fraxel, CO2 or Erbium can resurface the skin and promote deep collagen renewal. These are suitable for more advanced cases of crepey skin.
5. Ultraformer & Ultherapy
These ultrasound-based treatments stimulate collagen with no downtime, helping to lift and firm delicate areas without surgery.
