I need desperately to find a very effective way to treat leg mite that can have them cured in luke two weeks and scales flattened again
 
You can kill the mites...but the scales have to shed and regrow to be flat again. That's not going to happen in two weeks. At this point, I would hope your goal is to kill the mites (dip the legs in oil to smother the buggers) and make the chicken's comfortable.

x2. There is no set timetable to get rid of scaly leg mites. Continous treatment is required, it could take weeks or months depending on the severity.

Most of mine aren't that bad you can hardly tell they have them
