Crepey Skin Under the Eyes? Here’s How to Smooth and Tighten
Crepey under-eye skin is one of the earliest and most frustrating aging concerns. Because the skin here is the thinnest on the face, even small changes in collagen and elasticity show up as fine lines, looseness, or a wrinkled, tissue-paper texture. While eye creams offer hydration, they cannot restore the structural support that crepey skin loses with time. At Core Aesthetic, we use a layered, medical approach to rebuild, smooth, and strengthen this delicate area safely.
Why Under-Eye Skin Becomes Crepey
This area contains almost no fat cushion and minimal collagen, making it quick to show age-related changes. Common causes include:
Collagen and elastin decline
Sun exposure and environmental damage
Dehydration and barrier weakness
Genetics and natural anatomy
Once crepiness begins, structural treatments—not just moisturizers—are needed.
PRP: Collagen Repair for Thin, Crepey Skin
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own growth factors to stimulate collagen and gradually thicken the skin. Over several weeks, the under-eye area becomes firmer, smoother, and less wrinkled.
Risk + Mitigation: temporary swelling or bruising may occur; Core uses cannulas and physician-approved protocols to keep downtime low.
PRP is safe for all skin tones because it does not use heat or light.
Laser Resurfacing: Smoother Texture + Tightening
Gentle laser resurfacing helps refine fine lines and improve laxity by resurfacing the top layers and heating deeper tissue. At Core, we use conservative settings appropriate for the thin under-eye area to avoid overheating and ensure controlled, effective remodeling.
Contraindications: active dermatitis, recent sun exposure, or uncontrolled allergies.
Hydrating + Supportive Skincare
Medical-grade skincare stabilizes results. Peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and gentle retinol strengthen the barrier and support ongoing collagen improvement. Daily SPF prevents further thinning.
The Core Aesthetic Approach
Crepey skin rarely has a single cause. We create a customized plan that may include PRP, laser resurfacing, regenerative treatments, and targeted skincare—sequenced safely and performed only by licensed medical injectors.
Smooth, lifted, and luminous.
