Summer is just around the corner and, like every year, the question is always the same: how do you get to the swimming costume test with slim and toned legs? First of all, on the legs, the main imperfections complained of by women are localised fat deposits, cellulite and the presence of capillaries. As we all know, miracles do not exist, so, in the meantime, let's start rolling up our sleeves. The first fundamental thing to do is to adopt a healthy lifestyle: a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruit, vegetables and water, physical activity, moisturising body creams. But what if all this is not enough? Fortunately, there are effective and rather quick methods offered by aesthetic medicine and surgery. The first thing to do, therefore, is toconsult a professional doctor who, during the consultation, will carefully assess all the patient's needs, clarifying any doubts, and deciding, based on the situation, which type of treatment is best .

So, what are the most effective aesthetic treatments to slim and reshape the legs?

• Liposuction or liposculpture.Still the most widely practised cosmetic surgery procedure in the world today, it allowsvarious parts of the body to be reshapedby subcutaneous suction of fat accumulations, particularly, in this case, located on the hips and lower limbs. The procedure consists ofsuctioning excess fatty tissue using thin metal cannulas.The result of liposuction is generally definitive provided the patient undergoes constant weight control.
• Internal thigh lift. In this case we are talking about a real surgical procedure aimed at lifting and reshaping the inner thigh. The presence of sagging skin on the thighs is in fact one of the major problems afflicting women, especially as they age. The lifting operationremoves excess skin in cases where the skin is flabby or hanging down, with generally very good results immediately after the operation.
• Lipolysitherapy. This is a non-surgical method that uses the action of certain active ingredients that can be injected into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue in order to reduce the volume of localised fat deposits . the lipolysitherapy technique involves injecting a cockail of drugs with lipolytic capabilities into areas of localised fat accumulation using small needles. The treatment is rapid and absolutely tolerable .
• Sclerotherapy of small skin vessels.To eliminate unsightly dilated skin vessels and capillaries in the legs, sclerotherapy isa simple and safe technique that has been used for many years .The treatment consists of injecting an irritant solution into the vessel, which causes an inflammatory process that leads to its closure. However, this is only an aesthetic treatment and not a curative one, so in particularly extensive clinical cases, it is advisable to perform an echocolordoppler of the lower limbs in order to possibly resort to other more suitable therapies.
• Treatment of fairly large capillaries .Capillaries between 1 and 2 mm can be brilliantly treated with the ND-Yag laser. The effect of the concentrated laser on the vessels results in photocoagulation with immediate occlusion of the vessel and the appearance of small scabs on the skin, which heal within a week. In this case ,about 2-3 sessions spaced 1-2 months apartmay be necessary .
