Sexy Knees at Any Age

Sienna Sinclaire: Paris October 2025

Knees are one of those areas that suddenly change without warning. One day they’re smooth, and the next you notice a little sag or puffiness you swear wasn’t there before. But here’s what I’ve learned through my own routine:

You can age your knees backwards.Yes, we’re all aging — but certain parts of the body can absolutely be tightened, lifted, and slowed down with the right habits.

Over the past year, I’ve focused on strengthening, sculpting, and improving circulation in my legs, and my knees look noticeably firmer and more defined. The softness is gone, the puffiness is down, and they genuinely look younger than they did a few years ago (see photo below).

In this blog, I’m sharing exactly what I did and how you can do it too — because knee sagging isn’t something you have to accept. You can change it. And I’m proof. But just like anything you want to transform, it takes consistency, patience, and a willingness to keep going. This isn’t a one-time fix — it’s a routine you commit to, and one your body will thank you for.

Why Knees Get “Saggy” as We Age

As women enter their 40s and 50s, estrogen naturally drops. When that happens, the skin around the knees — already one of the thinnest areas on the body — loses collagen and elasticity faster than other places.

And just like the face and chest begin to soften with age, the skin on the legs does too. It starts at the top of the leg and gradually moves downward over time. And when you combine that natural skin laxity with weakening muscle tone in the quads and glutes, there’s less support underneath to hold everything up. The skin begins to loosen, gravity pulls it down, and all of that extra softness eventually shows up right at the knee.

Add in a slower lymphatic system, long periods of sitting or traveling, and even a touch of inflammation from stress, salt, or lack of sleep, and the knee area starts holding on to water. That little “balloon” of puffiness most women notice? That’s often lymphatic fluid, not fat.

Poor circulation is another hidden factor. When blood flow slows, the tissue around the knees gets less oxygen and nutrients, creating a duller, looser appearance.

So yes — hormones, skin laxity, declining muscle tone, circulation, inflammation, and lymphatic flow all show their story right at the knee.

The good news? Every single one of these can be improved with movement, stretching, sculpting, and the right lifestyle habits — which is why knees can absolutely tighten at any age.

What I’ve Been Doing to Tighten My Knees

Tightening your knees isn’t just about one thing — it’s everything working together. Strength, skincare, circulation, and what’s happening inside your body. Here’s exactly what I’ve been doing, and what’s actually made a difference. (Notice change of skin color, more hydration, lifting in photo...see below for what I did).

1. Knee-Focused Sculpting Workouts

This has been the biggest change. I started intentionally training the muscles that shape and support the knee:

• Front-foot elevated split squats

• Step-ups

• RDLs

• Kickbacks

• Static lunges with heel lift

• Wall sits

Strengthening the quads and glutes has visibly tightened the entire knee line and pulled the skin upward. See my videos below of the exact workouts I've been doing.

2. Treating My Knees Like My Face

Anything I use on my face… I now use on my body — including retinol. My body routine includes:

• Retinol

• Vitamin C

• Body exfoliants

• Growth serums

When you treat the skin on your legs with the same respect you give your face, it responds.

3. PRP Needling

I’ve been microneedling my knees for a while, but adding PRP needling took things to another level. It boosted:

• Collagen

• Firmness

• Skin smoothness

• Elasticity

I noticed a big difference in how tight the skin felt afterward.

4. Endosphères Treatments

This has become one of my secret weapons. Endosphères helps with:

• Lymphatic drainage

• Smoothing the skin

• Tightening the knee pocket

• Reducing puffiness

• Improving circulation

I get it weekly, and it’s made the knee area look more sculpted and less swollen — especially after travel.

5. Fixing the Inside: Blood Work Every 3 Months

Your body can’t firm and tighten if something major is missing internally. Doing bloodwork every three months has shown me exactly what I need — not guesses, but data. It helped me correct nutrient deficiencies, hormonal shifts, inflammation, and recovery issues.

6. Iron — The Missing Piece

This year I discovered my iron was extremely low. Once I added iron:

• My skin color returned

• My energy improved

• Circulation increased

• Workouts became more effective

You can literally see the difference in photos.

7. Supporting Hormones After 40

I also added DHEA, which naturally declines as we age. It supports:

• Skin thickness

• Collagen

• Mood + energy

• Muscle tone

Another subtle but powerful change.

8. Bone Broth + Collagen

These are now non-negotiable:

• Bone broth every single day

• Collagen powder in my drinks

• Higher-protein meals overall

My skin, recovery, and joint health all improved — and my knees tightened faster.

9. Oxygen Chamber Sessions

Once a week, I get oxygen chamber therapy to help:

• Stimulate collagen

• Boost circulation

• Reduce inflammation

• Speed up healing

And tight skin loves circulation.

10. Healthy Eating for Skin, Joints & Energy

This part is often overlooked, but it matters.Your skin (including the skin around the knees) needs nutrients and minerals to stay firm and youthful. Eating clean, whole foods keeps inflammation low and helps your body build collagen from the inside.

For me this looks like:

• Lean proteins

• Vegetables at every meal

• Healthy fats

• Low sugar + low salt

• Hydration

• Anti-inflammatory foods

And most importantly — eating healthy makes you feel better about yourself. When you fuel your body well, everything works better: your skin, your knees, your hormones, your workouts, your mood.
