Strawberry Legs

The main cause of strawberry legs is when a build-up of dead skin cells, bacteria, oil, and dirt get clogged in the hair follicle. Other causes can include dry skin, ingrown hairs, excessive hair growth, or bacterial or fungal infections.

Yes, waxing - particularly hot wax - can help to get rid of strawberry legs. The hot wax helps to open up pores when it is applied to the skin and removes the hair from the root when it is taken off.  

However, it is important to note that waxing may not work for everyone, as some individuals may have more severe cases of strawberry legs or underlying medical conditions that can contribute to the condition. Additionally, although the hot wax removes the hair from the root, it may not remove debris causing strawberry legs.  

Here at Este Medical, our revolutionary Laser Hair Removal treatment is proven to help to reduce the appearance of strawberry legs by targeting and destroying the hair follicles. The treatment can help to restore soft, smooth, and blemish-free legs with no downtime and long-lasting results.

Strawberry legs can be prevented through a combination of exfoliation, moisturisation, and hair removal techniques, like our Laser Hair Removal treatment.  

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells that can clog pores, and moisturising after exfoliation helps keep the skin hydrated, preventing dryness that can lead to irritation and clogged pores.
