We often forget all about our knees until the day comes when the weather is warm and we wish to wear a pair of shorts or skirts. Suddenly we notice how dry our skin looks or how saggy the muscles fall around the knees. We may be so self-conscious that we force ourselves to wear pants, not realizing that there is an easy and effective way to improve the appearance of our knees, all without surgery, incisions, scars or downtime. The knees can be beautifully contoured using specific dermal fillers that fill in depressions, minimize skin elasticity and create a more pleasing overall aesthetic for the area.
Many of our fillers and injectables work to stimulate the growth of collagen, an invaluable protein that is in ample supply during youth, but that slowly diminishes with the passage of time. As we age, the collagen protein that is responsible for hydrating the skin and keeping it firm, tight and glowing, dwindles, and this drainage must be addressed if one hopes to improve the skin’s appearance.
