Your legs can be a major source of discontent when the aging process kicks in. Between excess hair, spider veins and age spots, it’s possible you can end up wasting a great deal of time stressing over those physical imperfections. But there’s no reason you have to, not when there are a surplus of effective spa Body Treatments that can easily fit into the busiest schedule. Save yourself time and effort by letting the professionals fix those unwanted flaws. Laser Hair Removal For the treatment of excess hair on the legs, laser body hair removal is by far one of the most effective, painless solutions. The laser body hair removal process works by using a laser beam to target a group of hair follicles. The laser passes beneath the skin to damage the root, leaving the skin unscathed. This process prevents the hair from growing back for the most part, although there is a recurrence of growth in some cases. However, the new hairs are finer in texture and lighter in color than the original ones. Laser body hair removal treatments in the bikini area usually require three to four treatments. Laser Vein Removal Laser vein removal treatments can eliminate veins from legs. The laser vein removal process involves a light that’s sent beneath the skin and attacks the hemoglobin in the capillaries. This, in turn, results in the dissipation of the vein. Within a few weeks the vein is minimized or completely gone. Before the Procedure, a professional visibly identifies the appropriate areas. In some cases, a topical anesthetic is first applied to the spots to reduce pain, especially if it is a sensitive area. Once this part of the treatment is complete, the area is shaved and the intense bursts of light attack the vein, causing it to fade. The process usually lasts about 20 minutes Brown Spots Removal There are several ways to take on age and sun spots on the legs. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment relies on high intensity pulses of light to zero in on the undesirable area. The energy passes beneath the first layer of skin and targets the pigment thereby erasing the brown spots in a quick, effective manner. These spa body treatments take about 20 to 30 minutes. Once the “undamaging” is done you can immediately revisit your daily way of life – whether it’s going to the gym or returning to work. Doctors do warn that patients should use sunscreen in the meantime. For the most part, the brown spots won’t return. That doesn’t mean new ones won’t appear on other body parts. Avoiding sunlight plays an integral role in making sure they don’t reappear. Microdermabrasion is another procedure to combat brown spots. The use of fine crystals against the affected area reduces the appearance of uneven pigment and brown spots. For optimal results, peels are often used in conjunction with microdermabrasion. This process is commonly used to treat the hands. Up to eight treatments are conducted over the course of a few weeks. The end result is smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Another way to wipe out brown spots is through Chemical Peels. Phenol, Trichloroacetic acid or Alphahydroxy acids can be used to treat sun spots, brown spots and age spots. During a peel, a chemical solution is applied to the selected area. This eradicates damaged skin cells, peeling away the outer layer of skin to reveal an uncontaminated layer of skin. The strengths and solutions of the chemicals are selected based on skin depth. In general, a chemical facial peel can take as little as 15 minutes or as long as one hour.
