When the sun starts shining and the summer activities begin, many people decide it’s time to start Laser Hair Removal. Whether it’s the fear of having your underarms out while playing sport or the realisation that your leg hair hasn’t seen a razor in months, summer often highlights our desire for hair-free skin. At SILK Laser Clinics, we have the expertise and tools to help you achieve that! While Laser can be done all year-round, Winter is the ideal time to start your treatments. Here’s why:
Get a head start for a hair-free summer
For optimal results, we recommend one treatment every 4-6 weeks, with a minim of 10 sessions. Each treatment reduces your hair growth, making the hair finer, sparser, and slower to grow back. Starting your Laser Hair Removal journey in winter means that by the time summer arrives, a significant portion of your hair growth will be gone. Say hello to sunshine and sports, and goodbye to hairy legs!
No need to worry about fake tan
If you’re like many of us who reach for the fake tan bottle as soon as the sun comes out, winter provides the perfect window for Laser Hair Removal. As laser targets pigment, having fake tan on your skin can increase the risk of burns. During winter, it’s easier to ditch the fake tan and opt for long sleeves and pants, making it the perfect time to book your laser sessions.
Less sun exposure, sweating, and swimming
Winter naturally reduces our inclination to go to the beach, sunbathe, or engage in outdoor activities. While we love these activities, they’re not ideal when undergoing Laser Hair Removal. During your treatment sessions, we advise avoiding sun exposure to prevent adverse reactions. Additionally, for a few days post-treatment, you should avoid anything that raises your body temperature, such as exercise, hot pools, and saunas. Each laser pulse generates significant heat, and adding more warmth can increase the risk of side effects. Swimming is also off-limits after treatment to reduce the chance of infection and irritation.
More effective treatments
Cooler weather also allows us to treat you more effectively, with less risk of adverse reactions. On hot days, your skin is naturally warmer, and we need to be cautious about adding extra heat. Winter treatments eliminate this concern, letting us focus on providing the best possible results without worrying about the outside temperature.
Starting your Laser Hair Removal journey in winter is the smartest move you can make for smooth, hair-free skin by summer. With fewer distractions from sun exposure, fake tans, and outdoor activities, Winter provides the perfect conditions for effective and safe treatments.
