My skin is beginning to crepe on my legs. What's the best treatment for this?

Sun exposure will age skin quickly. From this point on, be sure to use sunscreen and also, as noted in the replies below, apply a good moisturizer. Cerave is an excellent choice and can be found in most any store. Apply immediately after your shower or bath to help retain moisture.Dry skin can also signal hormone changes. Low thyroid, for instance, can cause skin dryness.A healthy diet, enough water (every day), a humidifier in your room at night if you live where the humidity is low - all can help.

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Thank you for your question. keep the area hydrated with a good moisturizing cream to help with hydration, and periodic exfoliation on the areas that are scaly, always use SPF 30 or greater with zinc oxide, year around, re apply every two hours when outdoors, evaluate after 3 months.I hope this helps!

Based on your description, it would seem you are suffering from extremely dry skin that needs to be sloughed off.  I would suggest using a highly moisturizing lotion infused with glycolic acid.  The dry skin will flake off but the moisturizer with keep you skin hydrated during the process.  I would recommend using this type of moisturizer all winter as this is when dry skin is at its worst.Hope this helps!

Crepey skin is due to a host of factors. Aging, sun damage, fluctuation in weight, and more. I have had great results with Profound radiofrequency microneedling in my practice. I use it everywhere on the body. It is the only treatment in the world that can increase Elastin by 500% and Collagen by 200% or more. It is FDA approved for cellulite as well. I use this treatment in conjunction with my own Bawa Medical Skincare Retinol Tightening Body Lotion.
