We call crepey skin fragile and battered-looking skin that clearly shows signs of premature or common aging. And while aging is an inevitable natural process, it is possible to opt for preventive and recuperative treatments.
As indicated by medical studies, after the age of 30, the skin begins to change due to the action of different factors. These include the exchange of oxygen between cells and the natural production of substances vital for the maintenance of the skin.
It is therefore important to take precautions: opt for alternative and complementary treatments, improve consumption habits and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Do you want to know how to treat crepe skin? At Mussa Beauty Studio we guarantee a unique VIP experience that restores radiance and vitality to the face.
Causes of crepe skin
As a starting point, it is estimated that the skin thins by 10 to 50% from the age of 30 - 80 years, even in areas with greater protection from the sun.
Whether due to genetics, the passage of time, inadequate consumption habits or constant exposure to the sun, both the germinative basal layer and the dermoepidermal junction suffer from a flattening of their structure, which causes loss of elasticity and therefore skin fragility, also known as "crepe skin".
Thus, we can summarize the causes of skin weakening as follows:
- Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation: Premature aging is associated with chronic damage from sun exposure due to the formation of free radicals.
- Genetics: A person's genetics is a key factor. Lighter skins, for example, are much more prone to the effects of the sun and other changes associated with genetic inheritance.
- Inadequate nutrition and smoking: Smoking is a trigger for premature aging, as it causes dermal wear and dryness of the skin. This leads to wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc.
Best treatment for wrinkles on face
To combat crepey skin, it is best to change our habits, take care of the skin from the sun and rely on facial treatments combined with professional aestheticians.
For example, Mussa offers a 3-in-1 facial combination treatment that achieves the best possible results:
- Carboxy gel therapy: Anti-aging therapy that corrects the skin without the need for invasive procedures. To achieve this, the applied technology generates activating bubbles with biocompatible substances that the skin absorbs in favor of increased oxygen and nutrients, which in turn allows the elimination of destructive toxins.
- Microneedling with BB Glow and peptides: Microneedling is performed with microinjections whose active components allow the body to release growth factors that stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
- LED Light Therapy: LED light is used to stimulate the basic energy flow and cell transpiration necessary to combat skin imperfections.
How to tighten face skin
But facial treatments are not enough. It is also important to improve consumption habits and daily hygiene. Therefore, the most effective way to avoid crepey skin is to protect it from UV exposure by nourishing and moisturizing it.
- Moisturize your skin: With the right topical creams
- Nourish your skin: With vitamins A, C, D, E and fatty acids.
Practice healthy habits: Opt for facial and body treatments, exercise to reduce stress and avoid excessive consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other recreational substances.
