If you’re over 40, it’s possible that you’ve noticed your skin texture changing on your face and neck – and you may even have noticed that you’re developing the dreaded 'kninkles', a hilarious-sounding word to describe the not-so-funny saggy and wrinkly knees that seem to come with aging.
So while some have resorted to painful 'knee lift' surgery (yes, that's a thing), it turns out that the Hollywood-favorite LYMA Laser – the go-to at-home skincare device for celebrities who want to look radiant everywhere from the Oscars to the Met Gala – isn't just for facials.
The state-of-the-art luxury beauty gadget for all skin tones, which uses near-infrared laser light technology to treat lines, help boost elasticity and brighten your skin, can also help you reduce the appearance of wrinkles from head to toe, literally, including around your knees.
The before and after pics of the Lyma Laser's effects on 'kninkles' are pretty incredible - especially given there’s no pain or recovery time involved, and the price is the fraction of the cost of knee-lift surgery.
“When we think of how the aging process influences our appearance, we tend to think of the face, and most anti-aging treatments are explicitly marketed with facial aging in mind,” says leading Craniofacial, Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeon Dr Graeme Glass.
“However, the problem with addressing one part of the body in isolation is that it merely exposes areas that have been neglected – there are few places that are more apparent than with the knees.”
The Lyma Laser is well known as a glow-boosting favorite of A-list beauty experts, like celebrity facialist Joanna Czech who has used the innovative tool on the faces of stars like Hailey Bieber and Lily Collins to prepare for high profile red carpet events. "I like to work with clients four to six weeks in advance," Joanna says. "If I can't see them in person, I will help from afar and recommend they use their LYMA Lasers 20 minutes daily."
But using Hollywood’s skincare secret weapon to help treat the crinkling skin around your knees is truly next level.
And of course, you can still use the laser for it's most famous purpose: helping reducing the signs of aging for your face and neck. Fans say the tool 'makes a huge difference' and has 'worked wonders'.
'This is the only thing I’ve ever tried that genuinely turns back the clock... A noticeable smoothing, tightening and plumping of the skin'
"My arms look so good right now after 4 weeks using the laser on them for 15 mins a day -- just stick with it!" said one reviewer, while a second proclaimed: "Such a great experience with the laser - seen such a difference on my wrinkles and skin tone. [Fifty-year-old] jowls have gone with ten minutes a day in front of television. Recommend."
"This is the only thing I’ve ever tried that genuinely turns back the clock," said another shopper. "A noticeable smoothing, tightening and plumping of the skin. In particular it has worked wonders on my lips."
One fan in her 60s revealed the Lyma Laser helped bring back her confidence. "I'm a 63 year old woman who was very conscious of my sagging, aging skin, especially on my neck, mouth and eye areas," she explained. "I now have a healthy glow to my face and my skin is wrinkle free which has brought back my confidence. it has made a huge difference! I love the difference in skin tone, texture and glow. It’s even helped with the dreaded turkey neck!"
LYMA founder Lucy Goff highlights the successes of the A-list approved at-home skincare tool. “The LYMA Laser puts the user in control, giving them the power to change their knees, their necks, their wrinkles, any part of their skin they'd like to transform,” she says. ”The LYMA Laser is proven to work – used correctly for the right amount of time, it isn't a matter of it if it will. It's a matter of when!"
