If your skin has started to look thin, finely wrinkled, or loose — especially on the neck, under the eyes, upper arms, or décolletage — you may be dealing with what’s known as crepey skin.
Unlike deep wrinkles or sagging caused by gravity, crepey skin looks and feels fragile, papery, and crinkled. It’s often associated with aging, sun damage, or hormonal changes — especially in women going through perimenopause or menopause, when collagen production declines rapidly.
At Spa Luxe, we treat crepey skin every day using safe, non-surgical methods that help rebuild your skin’s natural strength and elasticity. If you’re wondering what can actually work to improve this common concern, you’re in the right place.
What Causes Crepey Skin?
Crepey skin is the result of a breakdown in collagen, elastin, and hydration levels in the skin. It typically shows up in areas where the skin is naturally thinner and more exposed to environmental damage.
Common causes include:
- Estrogen loss (especially during menopause)
- UV damage and long-term sun exposure
- Rapid weight loss
- Dehydration
- Age-related collagen decline
- Genetics
And while over-the-counter creams can offer short-term hydration, true crepey skin improvement requires treatments that stimulate skin remodeling at the cellular level.
The Best Spa Treatments for Crepey Skin
Here are the top medical-grade treatments we recommend at Spa Luxe to restore volume, improve skin texture, and visibly firm crepey skin on the face and body.
Microneedling with Growth Factors or PRP
Microneedling is a gold-standard treatment for crepey skin because it stimulates collagen and elastin production — two proteins your skin needs to stay smooth and firm.
By creating controlled micro-injuries, microneedling triggers your body’s natural repair process. When paired with growth factor serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), it enhances healing and skin rejuvenation dramatically.
Best for:
- Under-eye crepiness
- Neck and jawline
- Décolletage
- Stomach or arms after weight loss or pregnancy
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening
Radiofrequency energy delivers controlled heat to the deeper layers of the skin, which tightens existing collagen fibers and stimulates new collagen production. It’s safe for all skin types and requires no downtime.
At Spa Luxe, RF is a favorite for women experiencing hormonal skin thinning or loss of elasticity post-weight loss.
Best for:
- Face and neck laxity
- Arm crepiness
- Inner thighs
- Loose abdominal skin
Hydrafacial with Firming Boosters
Hydrafacial isn’t just for glow — it’s also an effective treatment for crepey, dehydrated skin. With customizable boosters like DermaBuilder (peptides) or ReGen GF (growth factors), we can infuse your skin with hydration and firming actives while clearing away dead cells.
This treatment is especially helpful for women in menopause, whose skin often becomes drier and thinner.
Best for:
- Décolletage and chest
- Around the eyes
- Facial crepiness from dehydration
LED Light Therapy (Red & Near-Infrared)
Red light therapy stimulates fibroblast activity and encourages collagen and elastin production. It also reduces inflammation, which is critical for aging or hormonally sensitive skin.
Best of all, LED is gentle, painless, and works beautifully alongside other treatments.
Best for:
- Long-term skin health
- Supporting results from microneedling or RF
- Sensitive, reactive skin types
Chemical Peels (Customized)
For crepey skin on the chest, arms, or face, a series of light to medium-depth peels can help accelerate cell turnover, improve texture, and increase dermal thickness.
We use medical-grade peels that are customized to your skin type and sensitivity — especially important for aging or menopausal skin.
Best for:
- Chest and neck crepiness
- Sun-damaged arms
- Facial fine lines and uneven tone
Lymphatic Drainage Facial or Body Massage
Lymphatic massage helps improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and support the detox process — all essential for revitalizing sluggish, crepey skin. While it doesn’t directly stimulate collagen, it sets the stage for better skin function and enhanced product absorption.
Best for:
- Post-weight loss puffiness
- Swelling in arms or thighs
- Facial stagnation
Versa Fillers for Volume Loss
Sometimes, crepey skin is worsened by underlying volume loss, especially in the under-eye area, cheeks, or hands. Dermal fillers like Versa can gently restore lost structure, giving skin a smoother, tighter appearance.
We use a conservative, natural approach — designed to enhance, not change, your features.
Best for:
- Under-eye crepiness
- Volume loss in cheeks or temples
- Back of hands
At-Home Skincare for Crepey Skin
Your daily skincare routine should support and maintain your in-office results. For crepey skin, we recommend:
- Peptides – to rebuild collagen and elastin
- Retinol or bakuchiol – to increase cell turnover
- Hyaluronic acid – for plumping and hydration
- Ceramides and fatty acids – to restore the skin barrier
- SPF 30+ daily – sun protection is non-negotiable
If you’re unsure where to start, we offer skincare consultations to build you a hormone-safe, age-appropriate regimen.
