What is Above Knee Wrinkles?
With age, as our bodies produce less collagen to keep our skin dense and elastic, wrinkles may begin to form above the knees. These wrinkles can be bothersome cosmetically and many patients seek treatments that may reduce their appearance to restore their legs to their youthful smoothness.
Luckily, these knee wrinkles can be treatable using dermal fillers for collagen stimulation as well as providing volume and minimizing wrinkles.
Treating Above Knee Wrinkles with Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are specially formulated to provide hydration and volume to a treatment area. By strategically injecting dermal fillers in the knee wrinkles, the skin can be restored to its smooth and even surface. As the fillers work their magic, skin volume increases in the treatment areas, plumping and reinvigorating the skin’s integrity. This essentially ‘fills in’ the lines and wrinkles, creating a smoother more even surface in the skin above the knee while also helping to stimulate collagen.
What to expect
Dermal filler treatments are generally well-tolerated, quick, and quite safe. Treatments are administered after the area is cleansed and prepped for the procedure. Topical numbing can be applied to the desired treatment areas to minimize any discomfort. Dermal fillers themselves are medicated with a small dose of lidocaine which adds additional numbing to the treatment area as well.
