I am a 47-year-old female. I am active and run and exercise. I am petite and wear a size 0/2. I have terrible sagging loose skin and wrinkled knees well as cellulite. I have tried every diet and exercise known to man. I have been researching Ultherspy, Thermage CP and Thermitight. Also tumescent lipo. Any suggestions? My sister had smart lipo and it just made her legs worse. Thank you. I am desperate but do not want to spend the money for little or no results
Answer: ThermiTight/Skin Tightening/High Definition procedures Thank you for your question. I recommend a combination of procedures for optimal results.

Answer: Thermitight, Ultherapy, Thermage CP for knee wrinkling and sagging? (photos) I can tell you that the ThermiTight does work quite well for wrinkles just above the knees as well as other areas. This is a radio frequency wave instrument that very accurately monitors the skin temperature just beneath the dermis and the surface of the skin. A certain temperature is necessary to tighten the skin and accuracy is imperative. There is minimal recovery time involved.Thank you for your question and photos.

Answer: Unfortunately, I doubt any of these methods will help Knee skin is very difficult to effectively tighten, it is much thinner than skin on the face so doesn't respond as well to non-surgical tightening procedures. Liposuction will only make the skin appear worse. Surgical procedures in this area leave bad scars.

Answer: Loose skin on legs with possible cellulite Thighs are difficult to treat! I prefer to do VASER lipo on targeted pockets like the outer thighs or inner thighs, possibly above the knee. But lipo doesn't really help the skin quality. We have ThermiSmooth in our office and ThermiTight coming soon. These are both radiofrequency devices. The ThermiSmooth is non invasive and feels like a hot stone massage over 6 treatments to improve the quality of the skin and cellulite. But if you want more then ThermiTight is a probe placed just under the skin to get even more improvement. Specific divots can be filled with fat grafting or an off label use of Sculptra after release. Layering can give the best results but it is a large surface area if considering the entire circumferential thigh. It may also be important to have some type of maintenance plan because unfortunately the clock keeps tickin!

Answer: Improving loose saggy skin on legs/thighs -- thigh lifting, sculptra, thermiRF, Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra This is loose skin that needs thigh lifting for best improvement. However, if you are okay with some improvement which will need long term maintenance we use use sculptra to improve wrinkles and fraxel to improve texture and tone. However, as regular maintenance you should be doing radiofrequency devices like venus legacy, exilis, vanquish treatments and/or ultherapy. Profound can improve texture and tighten the skin. There is nothing that will lift the area or make a dramatic change except for surgery +/- liposuction at same time. Please see an expert for a consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.
