Crepe texture reflects dermal thinning and collagen loss — a structural change, distinct from the folds produced by muscle movement.
Collagen density and elastin quality decline with age and photodamage. The dermis thins, and the surface loses the support that keeps it smooth under tension.
Dynamic lines appear with expression and are muscle-driven. Static crepe is present at rest and is dermal. Treating one as the other is why some people get no result from an otherwise reasonable treatment.
Whether lines are present at rest or only on movement, skin thickness, degree of photodamage, and site — the neck and periorbital skin behave differently from the cheek.
Collagen stimulation for the dermal component. Thin-skinned sites require adjusted settings rather than the same protocol used on the cheek.
Sites with very thin skin carry a higher risk of textural change and are treated conservatively.
