Dark Spots, Leg Veins, and Body Laser: The Medspa Treatments Most People Forget to Ask About
Published 2026-02-27 • Summer House Editorial Team
The face gets all the attention. Botox, filler, laser — the conversation almost always defaults to the face. But a significant portion of the aesthetic concerns that people carry daily exist elsewhere: the dark spots on the back of the hands that do not match a treated face, the leg veins that make shorts uncomfortable, the underarm sweating that shapes what clothes can be worn. These treatments exist and work well. Most people just do not think to ask.
The Hands and Chest: The Most Neglected Face-Adjacent Areas
Dallas sun exposure is aggressive, and the hands and chest accumulate decades of damage that is visible from several feet away. Dark spots — solar lentigines — on the back of the hands are one of the most reliable visual age cues, and they are highly responsive to laser treatment. The Clarity II targets the melanin in hyperpigmented spots directly, breaking them down in 1 to 3 sessions.
The décolletage — the chest and upper breast area — carries sun damage that creates a stark visual contrast with a treated face. Laser and microneedling both work well on this area, improving texture, pigmentation, and early crepiness. It is an overlooked treatment that produces visible results.
Leg Veins and Facial Spider Veins
Spider veins on the legs and broken capillaries on the face and nose are among the most common aesthetic complaints in Dallas — and one of the most treatable. Laser vein treatment targets the hemoglobin in the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and reabsorb. Most clients see significant improvement in two to four sessions, with minimal downtime.
The laser approach is appropriate for smaller veins — thread veins, spider veins, and small leg capillaries — rather than large varicose veins that require vascular intervention. But for the majority of patients bothered by visible surface veins, laser achieves outcomes most clients are very satisfied with.
Botox for Sweating: The Treatment Nobody Talks About Until They Try It
Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating — affects approximately four percent of the population, and the vast majority manage it with prescription antiperspirants and wardrobe strategies rather than seeking medical treatment. FDA-approved Botox for underarm sweating has been available for over 20 years and produces reliable results in the 80 to 90 percent reduction range, lasting six to twelve months per treatment.
For clients who have spent years planning outfits around sweat visibility or avoiding handshakes, the quality-of-life impact is typically rated as among the most significant of any aesthetic or wellness service they have received. It is a treatment that consistently outperforms expectations.
FAQ
Can dark spots on the hands and chest actually be removed with laser?
Yes. Isolated dark spots from sun exposure are highly responsive to Clarity II laser treatment. Most clients see 70 to 90 percent improvement in treated spots after 1 to 3 sessions, depending on how long the spots have been present and how deep the pigmentation sits.
Is there downtime for body laser treatments?
Minimal — typically 24 to 48 hours of redness or mild sensitivity. The spots treated with pigment laser will temporarily darken before fading, which looks unusual for about 7 to 10 days before clearing.
