What can be done to fix crepey forearms? (Photo)

Question

I am 48 blond and slim. Lost 20 lbs a few years ago and I'm plagued with crepey forearms and inner elbows. What can be done? I never had this before I lost weight. Thanks!

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Thank you for your question. In our practice we use  Profound treatment which uses RF energy microneedling to treat the jawline, jowls, wrinkles as well as skin texture. Over the next six month period your skin will reformulate dermal volume for youthful skin by stimulating collagen, elastin in HA.

There are many different things that can be used to tighten the skin non invasively.  In our office we use radiofrequency with the lutronic infini or exillis.  If the skin is really lax due to your weight loss a surgical intervention may be needed.
