What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that diminishes hair growth, by using energy from specific wavelengths on the treatment area. This targets the hair follicles within the skin. This treatment disrupts the hair growth cycle, eventually destroying hair follicles and reducing total hair growth. While this treatment works year-round, winter is ideal for starting your laser journey—here’s why!
Here are four reasons why winter is the perfect timing to get your laser treatments:
Skin is protected with winter clothes…
Avoid UV exposure for eight weeks pre-treatment and two weeks post-treatment. Winter’s limited sun exposure makes it ideal for laser hair removal. With minimal sunlight and cosy layers, you’ll avoid UV rays, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation or skin damage.
Waxing vs laser hair removal
Before your laser session, avoid waxing, as it removes the hair root needed for effective treatment. Winter makes this easier, since your skin stays covered, and you won’t feel tempted to wax at the sight of tiny hairs.
Be extra prepared for summer
Schedule sessions every four to six weeks. Starting treatments in the colder months keeps you consistent and focused, ensuring you complete the full course for optimal results. You’ll be ready to have a hairless body for holiday season!
Excessive sweating won’t be a problem
Avoid heavy sweating from spas, exercise, or swimming for 48 hours to 7 days post-treatment—easier to follow in winter.
