Strawberry Leg Treatments

Don’t Let Strawberry Legs Ruin Your Summer!

Finally, summer is almost here! Time to break out the booty shorts, sundresses, and swimsuits, and enjoy the warm weather. But for some women, the thought of showing off their legs can bring on a serious case of anxiety … thanks to a pesky condition called “strawberry legs.”

What exactly are strawberry legs? Well, it’s not as delicious as it sounds. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Strawberry legs refer to those tiny dark or reds spots that can appear on the legs, making them look like strawberries! These unattractive spots are actually clogged pores or hair follicles that have become inflamed or irritated, resulting in those unsightly dots that can really put a damper on your summer fun.

But fear not. If your legs have developed strawberry dots over the winter, Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township has the treatments and products that can clear up this condition in no time – leaving you with smooth, silky, sexy, summer legs!

What Causes Strawberry Legs?

While the condition known as strawberry legs is not dangerous, it can be a serious aesthetic concern for women. There are a few different factors that can contribute to strawberry legs. One is dry skin, which can lead to clogged pores and ingrown hairs. Another is shaving with a dull or dirty razor, which can cause irritation and infection. And finally, genetics can also play a role, as some people are simply more prone to developing clogged pores and ingrown hairs.

Home Remedies for Strawberry Legs

There are a few things you can do at home that may help keep strawberry legs at bay. One option is to exfoliate regularly, which can help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. You can use a body scrub, a loofah, or even an exfoliating brush on your legs to do this.

Another option is to be careful about your shaving routine. Make sure you’re using a clean, sharp razor and shaving cream or gel to reduce irritation. And, if possible, try to shave in the direction of hair growth instead of against it to help prevent ingrown hairs.

However, just like acne and any other condition caused by clogged pores, at home and OTC treatments are not going to be as effective or as long lasting as professional skin care treatments.

At Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township we offer professional treatments and clinical grade products that can help eliminate strawberry legs – so you can have smooth, sexy, summertime legs that are ready to take on the world (or at least the beach).

Waxing to Get Rid of Strawberry Legs

Waxing is an extremely effective method to eliminate the appearance of strawberry legs. By removing hair from the root, waxing helps to prevent ingrown hairs and reduce the likelihood of clogged pores.

When you shave, the razor cuts the hair at the surface level, which can lead to sharp edges that can easily pierce the skin and cause irritation and inflammation. Waxing, on the other hand, removes the hair from the root, which means that the hair grows back softer and thinner over time, reducing the likelihood of ingrown hairs and clogged pores.

Waxing also helps to exfoliate the skin, which can help to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells, further reducing the appearance of strawberry legs. And, since the results of waxing can last for several weeks, you can enjoy smooth, bump-free skin for longer periods of time.

Laser Hair Removal to Get Rid of Strawberry Legs

Another option that will help permanently reduce the appearance of strawberry legs is Elos laser hair removal, available at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township. Unlike waxing or shaving, which only provide temporary results, Elos laser hair removal offers a more long-term solution by targeting the hair follicle itself.

Elos laser hair removal uses a combination of bipolar radiofrequency and optical energy to destroy the hair follicle and prevent future hair growth. This makes it an effective option for reducing the likelihood of ingrown hairs and clogged pores, which are the main culprits behind the appearance of strawberry legs.

During the Elos laser hair removal treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver the radiofrequency and optical energy to the hair follicle. The energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which then heats up and destroys the hair follicle. This process is repeated over several sessions, as hair grows in cycles and not all hair is in the active growth phase at the same time.

One of the benefits of Elos laser hair removal is that it can be customized to your individual needs. The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted based on your skin type and hair color, ensuring that you get the most effective and safe treatment possible.

While Elos laser hair removal can be a more expensive option compared to other hair removal methods, it’s important to consider the long-term benefits. By permanently reducing hair growth, you can enjoy smoother, bump-free skin for years to come, reducing the need for ongoing treatments and saving you time and money in the long run.

Skin Care Products to Reduce Strawberry Legs

At Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township we offer a range of professional, clinical grade skincare products that can help to exfoliate and unclog pores on the legs, leading to smoother, clearer skin and reducing the appearance of strawberry legs.

One of the most popular line of skincare products we have for treating strawberry legs is Epionce.

Epionce Lytic Gel Cleanser contains a combination of salicylic acid and azelaic acid, which work together to gently exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve and remove excess oil and debris, while azelaic acid helps to brighten and even out skin tone. The gentle exfoliating action of the Lytic Gel Cleanser helps to prevent ingrown hairs and reduce the appearance of bumps on the legs.

Another effective product for unclogging pores is the Epionce Purifying Toner. This toner contains a blend of salicylic acid and willow bark extract, which work together to remove impurities and unclog pores. The salicylic acid helps to exfoliate the skin and dissolve excess oil and debris, while the willow bark extract has natural astringent properties that help to tighten and refine the appearance of pores. The Purifying Toner can be applied to a cotton pad and swiped over the legs after showering or waxing for a refreshing and pore-cleansing boost.

Epionce Renewal Body Lotion is another an excellent option for smoothing and softening the skin on the legs. This lotion contains a blend of natural botanicals and ceramides that help to soothe and hydrate the skin, while also reducing the appearance of roughness and bumps. The Renewal Body Lotion can be applied daily to the legs, helping to improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin.
