Struggling with Wrinkly Knees (Aka Kninkles)? These Procedures Could Help 

When most people think about wrinkles, they think about them on someone's face. However, many individuals are actually concerned about the wrinkles that form around their knees.

Knees can look older and unattractive due to excess weight gain, subsequent weight loss, or natural aging. As one ages, the skin loses elasticity and doesn't bounce back to its original form as it used to, which can result in saggy skin and wrinkly knees.

Additionally, after menopause, the body exerts less energy to repair and rebuild collagen, intensifying the effects of aging.

The skin starts to thin out and form fine lines and wrinkles. It's not much more for women to find their knees as an area of the body where skin bunches up, casually calling them 'knuckles. It's sometimes an issue because it makes women self-conscious about wearing shorts or skirts.

Knee Wrinkles Treatments

An easy fix for knee wrinkles includes using dermal fillers such as Radiesse or Sculptra; these fillers stimulate the production of collagen within the legs.

This protein serves as the skin's essential building block, ensuring the tissue's cohesion, elasticity, and regeneration. Stimulating collagen products in areas with loose skin will result in a smoother and more youthful contour. 

Advanced Knee Wrinkle Treatments

Some advanced kninkle treatments use your own fat as the filler. Using organic material has its benefits over inorganic fillers because it provides the patients with more natural-looking and feeling results.

All in all, it also serves as a 2-in-1 process because you're slimming down one area by harvesting the fat and changing the surface of your knees.

Here at Elite, we do not currently offer fat transfers to the knees, but we do provide precision-engineered fat removal from the area.

How Elite Body Sculpture Sculpts the Knees

Knee AirSculpt® doesn't utilize a scalpel, needle, stitches, or general anesthesia to remove knee fat through a tiny freckle-sized entryway. Our patented technology makes our procedure one of the safest and most comfortable techniques in Washington, D.C.

Although we do not transfer fat to the knees to address kninkles, for many patients, simply removing knee fat can do the job. Because AirSculpt also helps tighten the skin, evening out and slimming the knees often gets the job of removing wrinkles done too!
