Weight Fluctuations and Skin Stretching
Significant weight loss, pregnancy, hormonal changes and even repeated weight gain and loss can all stretch the skin on the face. When the skin is stretched beyond its natural capacity and then contracts again, it does not always bounce back fully.
Over time, this repeated stretching can lead to a loss of resilience, leaving the skin looser and more prone to developing a crepey appearance. Hormonal changes, particularly those associated with menopause, can further exacerbate this effect by reducing the skin’s ability to regenerate and maintain its firmness.
Why Topical Products Are Often Not Enough
Creams, oils and body lotions play an essential role in maintaining skin comfort and supporting the skin barrier. They can help reduce surface dryness, improve softness and temporarily enhance the appearance of the skin.
However, crepey skin is primarily a structural concern rather than a surface-level issue. Topical products are limited in how deeply they can work, meaning they cannot significantly stimulate collagen production or restore hydration at the level where it is most needed.
When crepey skin persists despite consistent skincare, this is often a sign that professional treatments may be required to improve skin quality from within.
The Number One Solution: Profhilo for Crepey Skin on the Face
When it comes to treating crepey skin on the face, one treatment has consistently stood out for its ability to deliver natural, long-lasting results: Profhilo. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas, Profhilo takes a bio-remodelling approach that focuses on improving overall skin quality from within.
What Is Profhilo and How Does It Work?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment that contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available in aesthetic medicine. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and plump.
However, Profhilo does more than simply hydrate. It is designed to spread evenly beneath the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin over time. This process, known as bio-remodelling, helps to restore the skin’s structure and improve its firmness, elasticity and overall texture.
The treatment is administered through a series of small injections placed strategically across the treatment area. Because the hyaluronic acid used in Profhilo is exceptionally pure and has a unique molecular structure, it does not remain in one place like a filler would.
Instead, it disperses throughout the tissue, delivering hydration and stimulating regeneration across a wide area. This makes it particularly effective for treating diffuse concerns such as crepey skin, where the problem is not localised but spread across the entire face.
