Crepey skin refers to distinctly thin, finely wrinkled skin that resembles crepe paper, thus its name. It’s mainly driven by the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, but is often accelerated by sun damage, smoking, age-related volume loss, and chronic dehydration or poor nutrition.
While aging naturally affects skin’s texture, appearance, and elasticity, it’s overexposure to things like UV light, sudden or extreme weight loss, and chronic dryness that can trigger more pronounced crepey skin development across the body.
Crepey skin can develop anywhere, but certain areas are more vulnerable due to thinner skin and frequent sun exposure.
Your eyelids, as well as the skin just beneath the eyes, is some of the thinnest and most delicate of your entire body. As collagen stores deplete and elasticity diminishes with age, these areas easily take on a crepey, wrinkled appearance.
Often exposed and frequently overlooked in skincare routines, the neck shows signs of aging earlier than other areas of the body. Plus, thinner skin and its daily movements contribute to laxity and fine line development.
The upper inner arms have thinner dermal layers and are highly susceptible to changes in skin texture, especially with age or weight fluctuations.
The chest area is frequently exposed to the sun and environmental stressors, making it prone to crepey skin and hyperpigmentation.
Mild aging is normal, even expected. But crepey skin has specific signs that go beyond typical fine lines, requiring targeted crepey skin solutions.
Without proper treatment, crepey skin will become more aggressive and resistant to topical skincare fixes alone. Lines deepen, skin becomes more fragile, and volume loss accelerates, especially in the face, neck, and hands. Many patients begin to notice a hollowed or “deflated” look in formerly plump areas, on top of changes to skin’s ability to maintain moisture.
Skin aging is inevitable for all of us, but its degree and impact are not entirely out of your control. If you’re seeing signs of crepey skin earlier than expected, one or more of the following causes is often at play, particularly for patients with crepey skin in Boca Raton who are frequently sun-exposed.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin, two vital proteins that keep it firm and smooth. This is one of the top drivers of premature crepey skin in high-exposure areas such as Boca Raton and all over Florida.
As we age, the body naturally produces less collagen and elastin at a slower pace. Combined with gravity’s pull and a lifetime of facial and neck movement, this leads to thinning skin and the classic crepey appearance.
Rapid weight loss or gain can stretch the skin, leading to a loss of elasticity. Once stretched, the skin may not bounce back as it did when you were young, resulting in a crepey texture, especially on the arms and neck.
At FSIBR, we’re proud to be Boca Raton’s destination for advanced, board-certified, physician-led aesthetic care. Our team focuses exclusively on facial and neck rejuvenation procedures, combining artistic precision with clinical expertise for over a decade.
Juvederm is a popular hyaluronic acid-based filler designed to restore volume and hydration in areas affected by crepey skin. It’s ideal for treating delicate zones like the under-eyes, cheeks, and mouth corners, smoothing fine wrinkles and plumping the skin for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
A liquid facelift combines strategic use of fillers and neuromodulators (like Botox) to lift, smooth, and contour the face, all without extensive or time-consuming surgery. This treatment is especially effective for patients experiencing early-stage crepey skin and facial laxity, offering noticeable results with minimal downtime.
Restylane fillers are formulated to address both superficial lines and deeper creases caused by volume loss. It’s a reliable option for improving the appearance of crepey skin, particularly in the midface, jawline, and neck areas, with long-lasting but still natural-looking outcomes.
For advanced cases of crepey skin, surgical options provide the most transformative and lasting results. These may include:
Each crepey skin solution is tailored to you, the individual, delivering comprehensive rejuvenation for your specific beauty needs, age, and lifestyle.

Most crepey skin treatments involve minimal downtime. Laser and RF microneedling patients may experience 1-5 days of mild redness or flaking. Fat grafting recovery varies by individual but typically includes light swelling and bruising for up to a week. Ongoing collagen stimulation and results continue to improve over several months. Many patients choose maintenance treatments 1-2 times per year to preserve their rejuvenated look and to keep skin structurally and nutritionally healthy.
When it comes to crepey skin solutions, experience and specialization matter. At FSIBR, you’re in the expert hands of double board-certified surgeons dedicated exclusively to facial and neck procedures.
While wrinkles tend to be deeper and more localized (like expression lines), crepey skin involves widespread thinning and fine wrinkling of the skin, often across larger areas. It’s also more closely linked with skin texture and elasticity loss.
Over-the-counter creams may help slow the progression of crepey skin, but once skin laxity and volume loss are present, deeper treatments like dermal fillers, microneedling, or fat grafting are often needed to restore firmness and texture.
Depending on the procedure, results can last anywhere from several months (for laser or RF solutions) to multiple years (for certain dermal fillers and fat grafting). Many patients maintain their results with occasional touch-ups or paired treatments.
You don’t have to live with crepey, thinning skin, and you don’t have to settle for generic solutions. Explore our advanced crepey skin treatments in Boca Raton and take the first step toward a smoother, firmer, more confident you.
