Don't Look "Crepey" In October: 5 Ways to Address Crepey Thighs

Crepey skin—a term used to describe skin that looks thin, wrinkled, and saggy like crepe paper. It can appear anywhere on the body, but the thighs and arms are one of the most common areas clients notice it. Crepey skin often develops gradually due to a mix of factors: aging, sun exposure, weight changes, and even dehydration. While it’s completely normal, the good news is that crepey skin can be treated and improved with the right approach.

Before and After of Crepey Skin

What Causes Crepey Skin ?

Over time, collagen and elastin—the proteins that keep skin firm and tight—begin to break down. Combine that with thinning skin, loss of fat volume, and decreased moisture, and you get that delicate, loose texture. Additional factors include:

• Sun damage: UV rays accelerate collagen breakdown.

• Aging: Natural hormonal changes and slower cell turnover make skin less resilient.

• Weight loss or gain: Rapid changes can stretch or deflate the skin.

• Dehydration: Dry skin tends to look more wrinkled and less elastic.

Professional Treatments That Help

At Lotus Wellness & Aesthetics, we target crepey skin using advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin from within.

• Multipolar Radiofrequency (MP2): Gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to boost collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, firmer thighs over time.

• Aerolase Laser Therapy: Improves skin tone and texture while enhancing collagen regeneration—ideal for sun-damaged or uneven skin.

• PRF or Radiesse Biostimulation: Injectables that rebuild skin structure and improve elasticity for long-term tightening and rejuvenation.

Home Care Tips to Maintain Results

For best results, pair your professional treatments with an effective at-home regimen:

• Exfoliate regularly to boost cell turnover.

• Moisturize daily with products rich in peptides and hyaluronic acid.

• Stay hydrated—healthy skin starts from within.

• Protect your skin from the sun with SPF on exposed areas.

When Will You See Results?

Most clients start noticing smoother, tighter skin after a few sessions, with continued improvement as collagen production increases. A series of 6–8 treatments, spaced weekly or bi-weekly, often delivers the best results.

Final Thoughts

Crepey thigh skin is common, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. With a consistent care routine and advanced skin tightening treatments, you can restore smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking thighs.
