It’s shorts season; do you like what you see?

It’s summer time, do you find yourself wearing pants despite the heat and humidity, or wearing longer capris just so you can avoid wearing shorts? Or do you typically find ways to cover up your legs because you don’t like what you see if you answered yes, there may be treatments available that you have been unaware of.
Unwanted hair can not only be time consuming to take care of, but ingrown hairs, skin irritation with regrowth, and razor burns can make it painful too. A Sciton Laser System is available at Innovative Aesthetics that is versatile and only operated by medically trained staff. It is unique for permanent hair reduction, as two lasers can offer a dual treatment approach to allow customized treatments for individuals and treat all skin types, which is different than most other laser systems.
Laser hair removal offers patients a safe, fast, and effective alternative for dealing with unwanted hair. Lasers work by emitting a specialized light that is passed through the skin and preferentially absorbed by its target, be it an unwanted blood vessel, birthmarks, tattoos, or in this case, hair. The laser used in hair removal targets the melanin (color) in the hair follicle, damaging the follicle and removing the hair. Laser hair removal is safe enough to be used on all body parts, including the face, back, underarms, bikini line, legs, and arms.
If razor bumps or hair on your legs aren’t what you are hiding, but it’s instead the red and purple lines of spider veins you are trying to cover, there is also help! Sciton Profile 1064nd:YAG system offers effective treatment for vascular lesions including spider veins, small varicose veins, facial vessels, cherry angiomas and more. When the energy of the laser is selectively absorbed into the blood vessels, this heats the vascular lesion, which causes the bloods vessels to collapse and shrink, therefore reducing the appearance of the vessel.
Or maybe it’s not the unwanted hair or spider veins on your legs, but rather the way they look in shorts. Do you have extra weight to lose and have tried several diet options? Or do you just have cellulite or saddle bags you are trying to cover? Either way, there is help for you. Innovative Aesthetics is proud to have launched a FDA-approved, medically supervised, weight loss program. This means that you will enjoy the one-on-one consultation with our diet coordinator, learning a new program that can help you lose 3 to 7 pounds per week. It is also for those who have a few stubborn pounds after having a baby, going through midlife changes, or are excessively overweight and require medications for diabetes and hypertension. You are followed on your weekly weight loss journey with motivation, success tips, weight measurements, body fat percentage, and instructions to eat a healthier diet.
