How to improve loose, crepey skin in the arms

Wrinkly Arms Treatment, Kent and London

As we get older, many of us notice our skin doesn’t quite look or feel the same. One common issue is loose, crepey skin on the arms, which can be frustrating and make you feel self-conscious. We know how these changes can affect your confidence, and we’re here to help with treatments designed to restore firmness and smoothness. Let’s explore what causes these changes and how advanced treatments can transform the appearance of your arms.

Why does skin become loose and crepey with age?

Our skin’s strength and elasticity come from two key proteins: collagen and elastin. Collagen gives skin its structure, while elastin helps it to bounce back. But as we age, the production of these proteins slows down. In fact, from as early as 25, collagen levels start to drop, and this loss becomes more noticeable in our 40s and 50s.

Environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices such as smoking or an unbalanced diet can speed up this process. Hormonal changes, especially during menopause, also play a role, leaving the skin thinner, less elastic, and more prone to that crepey texture.

The good news? These changes aren’t permanent. With the right treatments, you can rejuvenate your skin and restore its youthful appearance.

Sofwave

This non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound technology to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production in the mid-dermal layer. What makes it unique is how precise it is: it targets just the right depth to make a difference while leaving the surface of the skin untouched.

Over the following weeks, Sofwave works quietly beneath the skin to rebuild collagen and gradually firm up loose areas. The best part? It’s quick with minimal discomfort, and doesn’t require downtime, so you can get on with your day straight after the session.

Profhilo Body

Think of Profhilo Body as a drink of water for your skin—only much more powerful. This injectable treatment is specifically designed for areas prone to loss of firmness and elasticity, like the upper arms. It uses a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, to deeply hydrate and plump the skin.

What sets Profhilo Body apart is its dual action: not only does it intensely hydrate the skin, but it also triggers the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. After just two to three sessions, patients often notice their arms look smoother, firmer, and healthier, with a natural smoothness that makes all the difference.

Lenisna

 If you’re dealing with more advanced skin laxity, Lenisna may be the answer. This innovative treatment uses biostimulating agents to supercharge your skin’s collagen production. By encouraging your body to rebuild its own support structures, Lenisna delivers long-lasting results that improve over time.

What makes Lenisna stand out is its ability to target deeper layers of the skin, providing a solution for moderate to severe sagging that feels natural—not overdone. At Illuminate Skin Clinic, we tailor every Lenisna treatment to your skin’s unique needs, ensuring optimal results.

Nordlys Fractional Laser

Do you struggle with both loose skin and uneven texture? The Nordlys Fractional Laser could be your perfect match. This cutting-edge laser creates thousands of tiny micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, triggering a natural healing process that boosts collagen production and smooths out imperfections.

It’s an excellent option if your crepey skin is also accompanied by sun damage or pigmentation, as it works to resurface the skin and leave it looking fresher and more even-toned. After a few sessions, the treated area looks firmer, smoother, and noticeably rejuvenated.

Combining treatments for the best results

At Illuminate Skin Clinic, we know that no two people are the same, so we often recommend combining treatments for the best results. For example, Sofwave’s collagen-boosting power pairs perfectly with Profhilo Body’s hydrating benefits. Similarly, Lenisna and the Nordlys Fractional Laser can work together to address both skin laxity and surface texture. Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a natural and transformative outcome.
