BY KATY JO GROFT, BODY CONTOURING EXPERT, CLINICAL AESTHETICIAN Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? What about the skin on your knees or on your elbows? Ha, I just had to. Often, I’m asked how to treat these pesky areas of sagging skin above the knees and elbows. As we age, the inevitable effects of gravity, sun exposure, loss of collagen and elastin, and many other factors play a role in contributing to the appearance of loose, sagging, or textured skin. For many, this appearance is bothersome, and fortunately, is something that can be treated non-invasively at CaloSpa. Let us first start with the elbows. There are many ways that we can go about treating textured and loose skin around the elbows. Sometimes, it may be a stand-alone treatment that can provide the results that our patients seek, but more times than not we are using a multi-modality approach to attain our desired result. Emsculpt ® is one treatment that can be done that is not specifically designed to tighten the skin, but by building muscle, you can in turn help to provide better support to the skin. Emsculpt is a device that I frequently use in combination with tightening modalities to help “anchor” the skin better, if you will. Skin tightening modalities like Exilis and Genius can be used in addition to Emsculpt. These modalities both use radiofrequency energy that works to stimulate new collagen, improve the appearance of textural irregularities, and tighten skin. During a consultation, your provider will help to customize the treatment plan that is best suited to address each individual's concerns. For the skin above the knees, devices like Emtone ® can be used. Emtone simultaneously emits both radiofrequency to tighten, and targeted pressure energy to smooth and tone. Combined, there is a synergistic effect that neither technology can achieve on its own. In addition to skin tightening and textural improvement, Emtone can effectively work to smooth the appearance of cellulite. Depending on the appearance and overall thickness of the skin, a combination of modalities, or other modalities may be used. Our Genius ™ device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, may also be used to treat the skin above the knees. All treatments for skin tightening are done in a series of 3-4 treatments. The frequency of treatments will be determined by your provider during your consultation, as well as by determining which devices are best suited to each individual's needs and goals. The above treatments can be done with little to no downtime. For an insider tip, pair your treatments with Skinade ® , a daily collagen peptide drink that works to stimulate your body's collagen production from head to toe! It’s a game-changer and patients love the benefits it provides in improving skin’s elasticity and youthful appearance in as little as 30 days.
