I had Profound Lift on my sagging knees and the area above, the results look really promising. This is a one time procedure with several passes on the area, unlike Infini with several procedure and three passes and results in my opinion were disappointing. In a few months I'll post an after picture.

Brusing was gone by day five and I continued my fivproce mile walks after the second day. Not much pain with this procedure.

How is your sagging skin problem on your knees now, after your treatment? Is it worth it? Do you see a difference? Can you post a pic? Thank you!
September 5, 2016
Hi, still not much of a difference, however, I've been told it takes six months. Sure, I'll post a picture this week.

Thank you. I have a consult coming up for this procedure on my knees and thighs so am interested in your results. Is there anything else you have learned of or have done for loose knee skin? I'm thin but loose skin on legs. Thank you.

Bsyasabee - how are your legs doing after profound? Is there a difference yet? How much did it cost? I was quoted $5000 in Cleveland with no guarantees of it working! I'm not sure if it's worth the gamble. I can't find many people that have used it for knees or inner elbows. Please let me know your cost and feedback.
Thank you!

Hi Laura,
Check into the ThermiTight, that amout of money is way too much, I only spent $1,500 with 20% improvement.

Be careful with ThermiTight, do your research. I've read more horror stories than I have success.

I agree, it seems that Profound is the only lazer treatment that doesn't destroy fat. I have an appointment Thursday for Profound consultation.

Conni33, you are so right, I'm so glad I found a great Doctor, the drive to the Bay Area was worth it.

I ALMOST got talked into it too by a gynecologist preforming plastic surgery. YIKES, I do my homework too and got a 2nd opinion. Needless to say. I'll pass on thermitight

Is ThermiTight the same as BodyTite? I'm scheduled for BodyTite to my knees and back of thighs next month. I heard from one RealSelfer, who had it done in August, that the post-procedure swelling is horrific...so I'm worried because I was going to try to keep it a secret from co-workers!

Hi Rebirth, ThermiTight is just for skin tightening, BodyTite is better, I'm doing my arms in winter. Don't worry, I'm certain you can conceal the swelling, make sure you wear your compression garment you might be in black slacks for awhile. If it is possible, see if you can hide a box under your desk, I would think you might need to prop your feet up for comfort and to reduce swelling. Keep me posted I'm so excited for you. I'm uncertain if black compression hose 40mmHg would work instead of the garment, check with your doctor. Oh, I wore baggy drawstring sweat pants to my appointment.

Thanks for the update... seems like not worth it then for only 20% change??
I'm so with you on this, I wish there was a decent knee treatment available!

I got a quote today at it seems kind of expensive at $5000 for my knees and thighs. Also she said they would have to be done on two different days because of the amount of Novocain needed for pain. Was this your case too???

Oh my gosh, too much money. Look into ThermiTight, however, find a good Doctor. Check Dr. Jason Emer. Sorry for the late response, I'm not sure why I'm not getting an alert for a question. Good Luck

I do NOT recommend ThermiTight for the knees/thighs. I had it done by a well-known surgical dermatologist and it was a disaster! My knees look WORSE! I think it melted the superficial fat just under the skin. My knees look like I'm 90 years old, and the areas just above the knee that were done look worse and dimpled looking. I do NOT recommend ThermiTight for the knees based on my experience!

InStBH, Your so right, I give up, I think I done wasting my time, money and thoughts. My preoccupation, with procedures is over. I have a dermatologist that is going to add some sculptra at the end of the month to help with the dimpling.

Honestly many doctors on here promote Thermitight but I ruled it out from just looking at before and after pictures. The fat loss (even in supposedly “good” results) is obvious
Welcome to the community, thanks for starting your review. How did the treatment feel? Was there much downtime?
