While the face and body get much attention, fewer people are aware of the signs of aging that can appear around their elbows and knees. These joints are highly articulated, which provides great ranges of motion, but it also means the skin around those joints is put under a great deal of daily stress. Every time someone bends their knees or elbows, the skin is pushed and pulled. Over time, this can result in the skin becoming thinner, looser, or overall more aged. At Aesthetic Beauty, we provide several solutions to restore volume loss and skin concerns around the elbows and knees.
Precise injection of biostimulators can stimulate the body’s regenerative response. The process is similar to receiving dermal fillers, but this treatment does more than simply fill out the volume of the treated area. Our biostimulators use a formula with either calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid, each designed to trigger the body’s own mechanisms. These biostimulators integrate into the surrounding tissue and activate collagen production, which is key for seeing more youthful, firmer skin.
Microneedling treatment involves your specialist using a device to create many small punctures along the treated area. The treatment is comfortable though, as we first numb the area with a special cream to prevent any pain. These punctures are small enough to be barely noticeable while still triggering the body’s response to a wound. This response involves repairing the area by replacing old cells and producing new collagen. This gives the treatment its other name, collagen induction therapy. This creates overall improvements in the skin’s tone, texture, and appearance, making microneedling excellent for treating elbow and knee volume loss. The treatment can also be effective for cosmetic concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars, pores, hyperpigmentation, and more across multiple body areas.
