CONCERN:
Crepey Skin
Crepey Skin Treatments, Belsize Park, London
Crepey skin refers to skin that appears thin, finely wrinkled and lacking in elasticity. It often develops on the under eyes, cheeks, neck, décolletage and hands, and is caused by a combination of collagen loss, dehydration and sun exposure over time. Unlike deeper wrinkles, crepey skin has a fragile, tissue-paper texture that reflects a decline in overall skin quality and structure.
At Heath Clinic, we take a regenerative approach to crepey skin. Rather than masking the surface, we focus on treatments that stimulate your skin’s own repair mechanisms and restore strength, hydration and elasticity at a cellular level. Our goal is not just to smooth the skin but to support its long-term health and resilience.
What causes crepey skin?
Crepey skin is the result of declining levels of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. These components keep the skin firm, bouncy and well hydrated. As we age, environmental exposure, hormonal changes and lifestyle factors all contribute to the breakdown of these structures. When skin loses its integrity, it becomes more prone to thinning, wrinkling and sagging.
Common triggers include:
-
Sun damage
-
Natural ageing
-
Dehydration
-
Poor skincare habits
-
Rapid weight loss or gain
Our Treatment Approach
We use a combination of regenerative injectables and biostimulating treatments to treat crepey skin from the inside out.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are derived from purified DNA fragments that help stimulate the skin’s repair processes. They improve hydration, promote fibroblast activity and support tissue regeneration. When injected into areas affected by crepey skin, polynucleotides restore elasticity, firmness and a healthier skin texture over time. They are especially effective for delicate areas such as under the eyes and neck.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis to improve hydration, plumpness and elasticity. These treatments enhance skin glow and smoothness and are ideal for areas where skin has lost its bounce or feels dry and fragile. They can be used as a standalone treatment or as part of a wider regenerative programme.
JULÄINE
JULÄINE is a polylactic acid (PLLA) biostimulator that helps rebuild collagen over time. It’s especially effective in areas where structural support is diminished. Unlike traditional fillers, JULÄINE stimulates your body’s own collagen production, leading to firmer, stronger skin with gradual and natural-looking improvement. This makes it a powerful option for mid to lower face rejuvenation and thinning skin on the neck or décolletage.
Together, these treatments improve skin quality, reduce crepiness and enhance your skin’s ability to renew and repair itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on your skin’s condition and the area being treated. Polynucleotides are ideal for delicate zones like the under eyes. Skin boosters work well for general hydration and smoothing, while JULÄINE helps restore deeper structural support. We will create a personalised plan during your consultation.
Polynucleotides and JULÄINE build gradually over weeks, with full results often seen after several sessions. Skin boosters tend to show visible results more quickly, within one to two weeks.
A topical numbing cream is used to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the treatment as quick and manageable.
A course of two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart is usually recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every few months depending on the approach.
Daily sun protection, a healthy lifestyle and consistent use of medical-grade skincare can help delay the onset of crepey skin. Early intervention with regenerative treatments also supports long-term skin health.
Yes. Polynucleotides, skin boosters and JULÄINE are safe for most skin types and tones. Your suitability will be assessed during your consultation.
