Goodbye Cankles—Hello Defined Legs
Genetics, hormones, and fluid retention can stockpile fat around the knees, calves, and ankles—creating the blunt “cankle” look where calf and ankle seem to merge. No cardio routine can spot-reduce this zone, but Gentle Sculpt™ at InfiniSkin Phoenix can. Using ultrafine cannulas under local anesthesia, we remove stubborn fat through 2 mm entry points while you stay comfortably awake, revealing a graceful calf-to-ankle taper and smoother knee contour.
Why Gentle Sculpt™ Excels for Cankles & Knees
| Advantage | What It Delivers |
| 2 mm micro-cannulas | Minimal trauma → less bruising, nearly invisible entry points (no stitches). |
| Awake tumescent anesthesia | Skip general-anesthesia risk; you can stand briefly so we perfect symmetry. |
| 360° feathering | Fat is blended around the full lower-leg cylinder for an even taper—no shelf at the shin. |
| Rapid recovery | Walk out the same day; desk work in 48 h; light cardio in 1 week. |
| Optional Renuvion® add-on | Plasma tightening for mild laxity or early cellulite dimples. |
Ideal Candidate Snapshot
- Visible fullness at the inner knee, calf bulge, or ankle (“cankle”) despite healthy weight
- Good skin tone (moderate laxity can be tightened with plasma)
- BMI generally ≤ 32 and weight stable ≥ 3 months
- Non-smoker or able to pause nicotine around treatment
- Realistic goals—Gentle Sculpt™ refines shape; it is not a weight-loss substitute
A complimentary consultation (virtual or in-office) includes 3-D imaging so you can preview expected contours.
Procedure Day—What to Expect
- Precision Marking —Standing, we outline knee pads, calf bulges, and ankle thickness for balanced sculpting.
- Tumescent Infusion —Dilute lidocaine numbs tissue and firms fat for smooth aspiration.
- Gentle Sculpt™ Extraction —Ultrafine cannulas remove fat in criss-cross passes, feathering into the shin and Achilles area for a natural taper.
- Compression & Departure —A lightweight garment or sock goes on, and you walk out under your own power.
Total clinic time: ~90 – 120 minutes.
Recovery & Results Timeline
| When | Experience |
| Day 1–2 | Mild soreness (post-workout feel); begin gentle walking. |
| Day 3–7 | Light bruising peaks then fades; resume desk work. |
| Week 2 | Swelling ≈ 50 % down; low-impact cardio OK. |
| Week 4–6 | Legs feel lighter; taper visible in slim pants & skirts. |
| Month 6 | Final contour + skin retraction complete. |
Removed fat cells are gone permanently—maintain steady weight and your new lower-leg silhouette lasts for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my ankles swell a lot?
Mild swelling is normal and peaks in the first week. Compression socks and light walking speed resolution.
Can you treat just the inner knee?
Yes, but most clients choose 360° knee sculpting so the leg line blends smoothly.
Does Gentle Sculpt™ help varicose veins?
It does not treat veins directly, but reduced bulk can ease pressure; we can refer you to a vascular specialist if needed.
When can I wear heels again?
Most clients return to regular footwear within 3–5 days; high heels feel comfortable once swelling subsides (≈ 2 weeks).
