Upper-Arm Crepey Skin Treatment
Crepey skin on the upper arms is caused by collagen loss, sun exposure and weight change. Treatment combines diluted collagen stimulators such as Sculptra or Radiesse with body lifting devices to improve firmness and texture without surgery. Each session takes about 30–40 minutes with minimal downtime, usually 2–3 sessions.
What is Upper-Arm Crepey Skin Treatment?
This approach suits mild to moderate crepiness. Large amounts of loose skin after major weight loss may need surgical assessment.

How it works
Diluted collagen stimulators (for example Sculptra, Radiesse or Juvelook) and, where helpful, skin boosters are fanned under the skin with a blunt cannula. Your own collagen then builds gradually. Energy devices such as Body OLA Lifting may be combined for tightening.
Who it is for
- Crepey inner or back-of-arm skin
- Mild laxity
- Patients who prefer non-surgical options
Results and how long they last
Improvement in firmness and texture develops over 2–3 months and builds with each session.
Risks, recovery and aftercare
Bruising, swelling, tenderness, nodules or unevenness, and rarely infection. Collagen stimulators cannot be dissolved, so conservative planning and correct dilution matter.
