title: [Anti-aging. The pretty leg].
abstract: The leg is a very important aesthetic unit along with the face, neck, décolleté and hands. In addition to individual and inherited factors, which define the appearance and shape of the legs, multiple changes may occur during life which are cosmetically disturbing and may influence individual attractiveness. These changes offer dermato-phlebologists a wide spectrum of possibilities to intervene. Sclerotherapy, laser procedures, surgical approaches such as liposuction, conventional and endovasal phlebosurgery and physical therapy can all be beneficial.
