Loss of firmness and crepey skin

Separating crepey skin from sagging at the assessment

Your practitioner looks for the fine, tissue-paper crinkle that marks crepey skin and may check how slowly it springs back after a gentle pinch. They will note where it shows most, often the cheeks, chest, arms or knees, and separate a loss of plumpness from a change in contour, because sagging is treated differently. Weight change is asked about, and dehydration is considered, since it exaggerates the effect.

Skin Tightening is often chosen for crepey skin around the eyes or as a no-downtime firming option. Non-Invasive Structural Skin Tightening works in the deeper support layers and suits crepey texture on the neck. Microneedling w/ Exosomes is weighed for early lines and skin quality overall, while Radio Frequency: Body Contouring suits crepey arms and thighs. Collagen responds over weeks and months, so review points are set across the course.

What happens when you come in?

Your first visit is a free consultation at the Aldergrove clinic. A practitioner looks at the area in good light, asks how long you have noticed it and what you have already tried, and checks anything that would affect which treatments are suitable: medication, recent sun exposure, previous treatments.

You then hear which of the options above suits your skin, what it realistically achieves, how many sessions it usually takes and what recovery looks like. If the honest answer is that none of them will give you what you want, or that something needs a doctor first, you will hear that instead.

Worth mentioning at your consultation

• When you first noticed it, and whether it has changed since
• Products and treatments you have already tried
• Any medication, supplements or diagnosed skin conditions
• Holidays, events or sun exposure you are planning around
