Is there anything out there to help this problem? I hate when I wear shorts or a skirt and look down at my sagging skin on my knees. Is there anyway to tighten this skin up? age 57
Answer: Recommend doing morpheus8 treatments to tighten up unwanted loose skin around the knees Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: Non-surgical options to address sagging knees Fluctuations in weight and drop in hormones during menopause can leave loose, sagging skin. I would recommend a non-surgical approach, as surgery can over-tighten the skin which, in turn, can affect how the knee works. An effective alternative to surgery is Ultherapy, which is an ultrasound treatment which lifts and tightens the skin and muscle. It uses micro-focused ultrasound waves to target the deep structural layers of the skin. Following treatment, the body stimulates collagen production which improves the elasticity of the skin, causing a gradual lifting and tightening effect on the skin around the knee.

Answer: Sagging Knee Skin Tightening Fortunately there is a great minimally invasive treatment for sagging skin on the knees and elbows. It is called ThermiTight. The procedure performed in the office under local anesthesia. Patients can Thermi is injectable energy which is placed directly under the skin, in contrast to procedures like Ulthera and Thermage. This allows more precise tightening in exactly the right areas. Thermi is different in that it uses infrared cameras to heat the tissues to the exact proper temperature, so there is no guesswork.Patients have some swelling after the procedure which usually resolves in about 7-10 days. The results are impressive. ThermiTight was originally designed for tightening loose neck skin, but now is being used to tighten skin all over the body, including breasts, thighs and elbows.

Answer: You may expect modest improvement with Thermage. Hi! This is a tough problem that we see not infrequently in our plastic surgery practice in New York City. Surgery is not an option because the scars are unacceptable.
