Crepey skin develops a thin, finely wrinkled texture that can show up on the face, neck, chest, arms, abdomen, and other areas. At Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine, non-surgical options for improving this issue include Secret™ RF microneedling, traditional microneedling, Secret™ PRO, and Tixel® skin resurfacing.
Dr. Faye Jamali founded and leads the practice, located in Mill Valley, CA. Her work in aesthetic medicine includes facial rejuvenation and non-surgical skin services, with an emphasis on results that preserve your natural features.
Secret RF Microneedling for Crepey Texture
Secret RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles create controlled microchannels, while RF energy heats deeper tissue and stimulates collagen remodeling.
Secret RF can be used on the face, neck, jawline, décolletage, abdomen, knees, and arms, making it worth considering when crepiness extends beyond the face.
Traditional Microneedling for Early Texture Changes
Traditional microneedling creates tiny controlled injuries that prompt collagen and elastin production. It can improve skin texture and firmness without adding RF or laser energy and may work well when your main concerns include crepey skin, rough texture, enlarged pores, or early signs of aging.
Secret PRO for Crepiness Plus Other Signs of Aging
Crepey skin often doesn’t appear on its own. You might also notice sun damage, uneven pigmentation, wrinkles, enlarged pores, or laxity.
Secret PRO combines fractional CO2 laser resurfacing with RF microneedling, so it works at the surface and within deeper layers of skin. Belle Marin has several Secret PRO protocols with different intensities and recovery periods.
Tixel for Delicate or Hard-to-Treat Areas
Tixel uses thermal-mechanical energy delivered through a medical-grade titanium tip rather than a laser or needles. It can be used on delicate areas such as the eyelids, neck, and décolletage. By creating controlled thermal injury in the skin, Tixel stimulates collagen remodeling that may help crepey skin appear smoother, firmer, and less finely wrinkled over time.
