Crepey Skin
The thin, finely lined skin that develops on the arms, neck, and chest can feel like it ages faster than the rest of you, crinkling at the slightest pinch.
CosMedic LaserMD in Ann Arbor, MI treats crepey skin by rebuilding the collagen and structure beneath it.
This is physician-led, regenerative care rather than a surface cover-up. Dr. Deepa Macha, MD builds an evidence-based plan to firm and smooth crepey skin from within.

What Crepey Skin Is
Crepey skin is thin, loose skin with a finely wrinkled, paper-like texture, caused largely by the gradual loss of collagen and elastin along with years of sun exposure. It often appears on the arms, neck, chest, and around the eyes, where skin is naturally thinner.
Because crepey skin reflects diminished structure beneath the surface, the most effective approaches rebuild collagen rather than simply moisturize. A thoughtful plan restores firmness and smooths the texture you see.
Who Tends to See Crepey Skin
Crepey skin commonly appears with age as collagen production slows, though sun exposure, significant weight changes, and genetics all accelerate it. Many people first notice it on the upper arms or chest, where the change can feel sudden.
If your skin has started to crinkle where it once stayed smooth, you are seeing the effect of lost collagen rather than anything you did wrong. Many patients arrive wanting firmer, smoother skin, and our role is to rebuild structure with a regenerative approach.
Treatments We Recommend for Crepey Skin
At CosMedic LaserMD, crepey skin care focuses on rebuilding collagen and refining texture. We choose the approach based on the area treated and how much structure has been lost.
Hyperdilute Radiesse for collagen support
Hyperdilute Radiesse stimulates your own collagen across larger areas like the neck, chest, and arms, firming crepey skin from within. See how we treat this in Ann Arbor for the full treatment detail.
HALO for resurfacing and tone
For finer crepiness and texture, HALO laser resurfacing refreshes the skin's surface and stimulates renewal. See how we treat this in Ann Arbor to learn whether it suits your goals.
Treating Crepey Skin in Skin of Color
Regenerative treatments like hyperdilute Radiesse are generally well tolerated across the full range of skin tones. They work beneath the surface rather than with heat or light that can disturb pigment.
That makes a collagen-stimulating approach a comfortable option for many patients with richer skin tones.
When laser resurfacing is part of the plan, CosMedic LaserMD selects devices and settings with care, because melanin-rich skin requires conservative treatment to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Your physician chooses the safest effective path for your skin and will say so honestly if a gentler approach serves you better.
