Hey all,
I've seen this term floating around - what does it mean exactly? What does it look like?
Thanks,
Jamie |

| It's like the skin has little ripples in it. Not exactly wrinkles but it's no longer smooth and people compare it to crepe paper. |

Hi and welcome 
it looks like very thin, dried out skin, may be crinkled. It can remind of crepe paper. |

Here's a link showing a sample of what "crepiness" can look like:

This is in no way a promotion of Thermage - it's just the first image I could find for you.
It's basically a slackening of the skin caused by a breakdown in collagen and associated support structures. Generally, it happens to us "old folks"... |

Oh, man, after looking at that picture, I realize I have "crepiness". My hands look like the before hand! I guess that makes me an "old folk" now! |

| I should have taken pictures in June before mine cleared up with Remgergent DNA. Glad mine is gone. It was in my upper cheek area. |

Just remember, being an "old folk" ain't so bad. (It gives me a great excuse to spend lots of money on beauty products! LOL)
And, "crepi-ness" is always preferable to "creepiness". Right, ladies?  |

You are hilarious, taobunny. I agree, rather be crepy than creepy! |
