Crepey neck skin refers to thin, wrinkled, and lax skin that resembles crepe paper. This condition is typically caused by collagen loss, sun damage, and the natural effects of aging. It may appear as horizontal lines, vertical banding, or overall skin looseness, often making the neck appear older than the face. Because neck skin is delicate and frequently exposed, it’s particularly vulnerable to early signs of aging.
The most effective treatment depends on the severity of skin laxity. Neck lifts and direct neck lifts are ideal for more advanced cases, while RF microneedling or CO2 laser treatments can improve texture and firmness in milder cases.

Surgical results often last 10 years or longer, depending on skin quality and aging. Non-surgical treatments typically require follow-up sessions every six to 12 months to maintain visible results.
