Can Crepey Skin Be Permanently Treated?

June 27, 2010
Asked By:flower2010 in Maryland

I'm developing crepey skin on my hands and elbows and front of upper thighs. I've had Radiesse and a fraxel dual treatment on my hands with no improvement in the crepiness or loss of elasticity. Since I don't understand what makes skin crepey, can it be fixed? Is there a permanent solution?
