If your knees suddenly stop matching your beauty standards, don’t panic. Modern cosmetology has solved all the problems and created ways to change the status quo and eliminate the miniskirt restriction. It’s pretty quick and almost painless.
“You can’t change the shape of your knees; it’s genetic.”
But interestingly enough, the volume in this area can be affected by your hormonal background. Usually, during pregnancy, menopause or some endocrine diseases, a few extra centimeters appear here. Therefore, before creating a plan, I usually recommend that my patients undergo endocrine tests. Only then will I connect the hardware components. The first stage uses the Exilis Ultra 360 device, which is a combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound waves that improve skin quality and reduce subcutaneous fat. Then I connected the Ultraformer MPT device – this device works at the musculoaponeurotic level, strengthening the connective tissue while reducing fat deposits. If necessary, I add lipolysis drugs. The first results will be visible immediately, but it will take 3-4 months for the final results to appear. The skin will be tighter and the knees will be sharper. But I always remind patients that if they are overweight, they must be treated appropriately under the guidance of a nutritionist.
How to tighten the skin around the knees?
“The two main reasons why the skin on the knees loses its elasticity are rapid loss or age-related changes. In both cases, our main role is to lift the tissue and improve skin elasticity by targeting only wrinkles, mesotherapy If wrinkles appear, the best auxiliary is microneedling radiofrequency lifting using a mixture of drugs or bioreactors, the best is the Ellisys Sense device with a vacuum cleaner inside. Before the needle is injected, the device is pulled from the skin, ensuring 100% treatment of the desired area and helping to reduce pain. The gold-plated ultra-thin needles are designed to heat the skin at the depth it chooses, encouraging new collagen and elastin production. And this is our biggest responsibility if the skin loses its elasticity. Depending on the severity of your problem, you may need to come to the facility three or four times a month. As a result, the skin tightens, wrinkles are smoothed out, and signs of aging and sagging are not seen in the knees.
Is there any benefit to the gym?
“One of the most important factors affecting the appearance of the knee is the loss of muscle elasticity due to a sedentary lifestyle. However, practice shows that even intensive training in the gym will not be 100%. The muscles start working, but the fat roll above the knee does not disappear. The effect of one “workout” will be equivalent to five hours of continuous work in the gym. I remind all patients who want sharp knees that we work on the thighs and a little higher on the outer part. When the process of reducing fat folds begins here, the muscles and the entire upper legs, including the area above the knees, change – a beautiful relief appears and the fatty apparatus becomes less visible. On average, I recommend 10 treatments, but for many people 4-5 treatments are enough.
