How do I treat my strawberry legs?

Question

I would like to get rid of my ingrown hair on my legs and I’ve come across that chemical peels work or silk peels? Where in Boston do they treat strawberry legs or kratosis pilaris

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

The Light Sheer Duet Laser performs laser hair removal and treats ingrown hairs.  Try to find someone near you that has this machine.  It is a diode laser and treatment is relatively pain free.
