When you hear of strawberries, of course, you think of the delicious summer fruit. But did you know strawberries are also associated with a common skin condition? Strawberry legs occur when small, dark spots appear on the skin resembling strawberry seeds. Many Milan Laser clients come to us asking if there’s anything we can do to help. And while there is no guarantee laser hair removal will treat strawberry legs, many clients have seen their condition improve with laser hair removal.

Using Laser Hair Removal on Strawberry Legs

Strawberry legs occur when black or brown spots appear on the skin, taking on an appearance similar to the seeds of a strawberry. They form when hair follicles or pores are clogged with bacteria, oil, dirt, or dead skin.

Targeting the Root Cause

Laser hair removal may be effective for treating strawberry legs because it focuses on the root of the issue, the hair follicle. Since the laser energy targets the melanin in the follicle and destroys it, future hair growth is prevented, which also helps reduce ingrown hairs, clogged pores, or bacterial growth in the area.

Those are obvious benefits, but another is the smoother skin texture laser hair removal clients can enjoy. Strawberry legs lead to a rougher texture to the touch, but laser hair removal has proven effective in addressing those dark spots and replacing them with silky-smooth skin.

Instead, you’ll enjoy long-lasting results and renewed confidence with a proven method to help with strawberry legs.

Understanding Strawberry Legs and Laser Hair Removal

To get the full benefits of laser hair removal, you’ll need regular treatments. At Milan, our clients begin with treatment every five weeks. With every passing appointment, significantly less hair appears on the skin surface. This also diminishes the chance of ingrown hairs forming since the follicle is the focus of the laser.

Other hair-removal methods can address strawberry legs, but none can treat the condition as efficiently and effectively as laser hair removal.

Strawberry legs can happen to anyone, but the condition is most visible for people with fair skin against the dark, strawberry seed-like appearance. The good news is that strawberry legs are often seen at any reputable laser hair removal clinic.
