Not all smooth legs happen the same way. It’s an aesthetic many strive for, but to get and maintain smooth legs requires the right hair removal method and proper skincare tips between sessions. Today, we’ll highlight how to acquire smooth legs and the hair-free aesthetic you’ve always wanted.

How to Get Smooth Legs: 3 Methods

Smooth legs require work. And to achieve that silky-smooth feel to the touch, you can do yourself some favors with a few helpful health and wellness tips.

  • Exfoliation: This is the foundation of preparation in the quest for smooth legs. Using an exfoliating scrub removes dead skin cells and dirt, while stimulating collagen formation and skin regeneration. 
  • Hydration: If properly hydrated, your skin cells are in better shape to retain elasticity. Applying moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or body cream regularly is also a good way to keep legs smooth and shiny, while reducing dryness and flakiness.
  • Sun Protection: Too much sun exposure can lead to sun damage like an uneven skin tone, a rough texture, and wrinkles. Regular sunscreen and protective clothing like long pants or leg coverings can help keep your legs smooth and healthy. The same applies for tanning beds and a fake tan.

The Best Way to Get Smooth Legs

Exfoliation, hydration, and sun protection are great first steps on your smooth-leg journey. But when it comes to hair removal, one option stands out from the rest: laser hair removal. It’s the best option for silky legs, and there are plenty of reasons why.

Long-Lasting Results

Laser hair removal at Milan Laser begins with treatments every five weeks. And with every appointment, your hair volume will decrease. Your skin will look more vibrant with less hair, and that look will have staying power. You won’t need to shave as often – or at all, depending on where you are on your hair-free journey. And without the need to grow hair out, you can finally stop regular waxing appointments. 

Reduced Ingrown Hairs, Razor Bumps, and Razor Burn

If you’ve ever experienced ingrown hairs, you’re familiar with those pesky, irritating bumps. And if you regularly shave, even with shave cream, you know all about annoying shaving nicks and post-shave razor bumps. Those hassles can be significantly reduced, if not eliminated, with laser hair removal. The laser targets and destroys the follicle, addressing the issue directly at the root.

Time-Saving Freedom

If you’re running late for work or a night out, that last-minute shave can be stressful. Laser hair removal allows you to skip the leg hair removal hassle entirely. You’ll already have the smooth skin you want — no razors, no wax, no rush. Just more time for yourself and freedom from costly, time-consuming appointments.

Investment in Confidence

Speaking of waxing, have you considered how costly it is? Throughout a lifetime, waxing can cost more than $23,000. And shaving isn’t much better. Purchasing razors and shaving cream or shaving gel regularly adds up quickly. Not to mention the time wasted on temporary methods, which also include waxing, IPL technology, and depilatory creams.

Laser hair removal is an investment for your hair-free future. And it can actually save you money in the long run, especially at Milan Laser with the Unlimited Package™. You pay one price for a body area, and you’re covered for life. So if you choose to address your underarms and need a touchup a few months or years later, you won’t pay another dime.

Maintaining Smooth Legs Beyond Laser Hair Removal

Your laser hair removal journey plays a big role in maintaining the smooth-leg aesthetic. And there are simple steps you can take following each treatment to maintain your silky-smooth skin, including:

  • Sun Avoidance: The sun can’t impact your hair-free journey if you aren’t exposed to its rays. Keeping treated areas away from the sun will maintain your skin’s natural tone. 
  • Sunscreen: Wearing sunscreen daily is good for the health of your skin any day, but it’s especially important for laser hair removal aftercare. Wear sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays and reapply at least every two hours.
  • Protective Clothing: Clothes made of unbleached cotton, polyester, and even silk contain materials that act as UV absorbers, providing an extra layer of protection from the sun. UPF clothing is another great option.
  • Body Oil and Hydrating Body Lotion: Both moisturize, hydrate and soften the skin on the legs and create a protective layer that helps soften the skin’s surface.
  • Tanning Bed and Tanning Product Avoidance: Tanning beds should be avoided throughout laser hair removal, as baseline skin is required for safe treatments. While tanning products like self-tanning mousse are safe, the skin must be back to baseline prior to the next treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are many ways to make your legs smooth with proper skin care. Regular exfoliation with a body scrub or dry body brush is great because it removes dead surface skin cells and keeps the pores unclogged. Daily moisturizing also keeps the legs smooth, locks in moisture, and prevents dryness.

There can be several reasons your legs aren’t smooth. Not exfoliating or the wrong exfoliating method can give your skin more of a rough, bumpy feel to the touch. Plus, outdated methods of hair removal like using a shaving device or waxing might lead to a rough texture due to ingrown hairs, razor burn, or folliculitis.

Models have smooth legs the same way anyone does: using exfoliating products and moisturizing. Scrubbing the skin of dead skin cells and keeping it hydrated are great ways to make your legs smooth. Using the right method of hair removal, like laser hair removal, which will address the follicle, not the skin above the surface, also helps.

Regular exfoliation – once or twice a week – helps keep your skin smooth, free of dead skin cells, and your pores unclogged. If laser hair removal isn’t your preferred method of hair removal, make sure you’re using a new, sharp razor with plenty of shaving cream and shave in the direction of hair growth.
