Summer is here, and it’s time to wear your short shorts confidently. Why feel self-conscious about imperfections such as vascular lesions, scars, uneven pigment, unwanted hair, cellulite, loose skin, or stubborn fat when Symbios Medical Spa can help you achieve the smooth, attractive legs you’ve always wanted? Read more to uncover the cause of common leg concerns in men and women and discover non-invasive treatment options with the latest, most advanced technology.
Vascular Lesions (Spider Veins)
Vascular lesions, also known as spider veins for their web appearance, can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort. Vascular lesions may be caused by hormonal changes, aging, genes, or an injury, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association.
Regardless of their entry or appearance, Symbios Medical Spa has laser treatments focused on their disappearance. With our state-of-the-art technology, Harmony’s Dye-VL, we can trace localized vascularity and skillfully match the exact size to precisely deliver an advanced fluorescence technology that uses intense pulse light to diminish vascular lesions.
After several treatments, the laser therapy targets and collapses the veins, causing them to fade from view. This non-invasive procedure is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your summer activities immediately.
Hyperpigmentation (Dyschromia)
When our skin tone is uneven, it can attract unwanted attention. Dyschromia is an alteration in skin color, referred to as hyperpigmentation, which occurs when cells produce excessive melanin (pigment) that causes dark patches. They may appear with age and be as small as freckles or cover larger areas of skin.
Harmony’s Dye-VL laser therapy can treat hyperpigmentation in the same type of treatment as vascular lesions. Our skilled team will pinpoint the spot and “zap” it with the laser beam. After three to five brief sessions, the darkened spot will harmonize with your natural skin tone for radiant summer legs.
Scars
Our skin tells a story, and scars from past injuries or surgeries can create a rough texture and unsightly marks on our legs. The Hybrid by Alma delivers an ablative CO2 and a 1570nm non-ablative laser to engage the skin with a unique scanning pattern. A thermal effect regenerates the extracellular matrix supporting skin cells while leaving the epidermis intact. The ablative component exfoliates the skin’s surface, while the non-ablative application promotes collagen production and tissue revival to reduce the appearance and renew skin damaged with scar tissue for clear glowing legs this summer and beyond.
Diminish Cellulite and Tighten Skin
Cellulite is caused by a build-up of fat pockets just below the skin’s surface, amplified by the skin’s thickness, hormones, genes, body fat percentage, and age. While it’s unharmful, it can negatively affect the appearance of your legs. Fortunately, Symbios Medical Spa can smooth those dimples through body contouring with Accent Prime. This non-invasive treatment combines ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies to target and reduce cellulite while tightening the skin. Radiofrequency treatments can improve the appearance of cellulite, according to the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy. Our skilled team applies this patented ultrasound technology to selected fatty areas while the radiofrequency targets multiple tissue depths for a customized treatment. This dual-action approach helps smooth the skin’s surface and improve its texture. The treatment is safe, effective, and suitable for all skin types, making it an excellent choice to enhance your leg’s appearance.
Smooth, Hair-Free Legs
Shaving and waxing can be time-consuming and often lead to irritation. Symbios Medical Spa’s laser hair removal safely treats all skin types for long-lasting smoothness without the hassle. Our advanced Harmony XL Pro handpiece targets hair follicles precisely using advanced fluorescence technology that uses intense pulse light to prevent future hair growth. A numbing ointment can be applied to your skin before the treatment begins to avoid discomfort, and there is no downtime. Multiple areas can be treated in one visit. Silky, smooth, hair-free summer legs are possible in three to five sessions.
Sculpt and Contour with Liposuction
The revolutionary technology of BeautiFill has reinvented liposuction by adding lasers to break down the fat cells so more fat is destroyed and removed. Symbios Medical Spa offers this procedure as an innovative solution for stubborn fat that won’t budge despite diet and exercise. Our minimally invasive liposuction can sculpt and contour your legs, removing excess fat and enhancing your natural shape. Dr. Stephen Luther and his medical team are certified and experienced in performing BeautiFill on your legs with a package of lymphatic massages and Accent Prime for dramatic results with minimal downtime. A small investment in yourself will let you achieve the legs of your dreams.
