The best time of year for laser hair removal is fall and winter, especially if you want to confidently show off smoother skin by summer! While Pure MedSpa offers laser hair removal with the Sciton BARE HR™ system year-round, understanding how seasonal factors affect results can help you time your sessions for the safest and most effective outcome. Keep reading to learn how to make the most of your results in every season!
Why Fall and Winter Are Ideal
The cooler months are widely considered the best time to do laser hair removal for several reasons. During fall and winter, your skin is naturally less exposed to sunlight, reducing the risk of pigmentation changes after treatment. Because laser hair removal targets pigment in the hair follicle, it’s safest to perform when your skin tone is at its natural baseline rather than freshly tanned.
Fall and winter also provide ample time to complete your treatment series before the onset of warmer weather. Since hair grows in cycles, you’ll typically need multiple sessions—about 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart—to catch each follicle at the right stage. Starting in the colder months means you’ll reveal your smoother skin just in time for summer outings and events.
Spring and Summer Laser Hair Removal Tips
Missed your ideal winter window? Not to worry! You can still achieve great results with BARE HR and other laser skin rejuvenation treatments during spring or summer by taking a few simple precautions:
- Limit direct sun exposure and apply SPF 30 or higher daily to all treated areas. This helps prevent irritation and pigmentation changes.
- Avoid tanning before and after sessions to protect your skin and achieve the best results. Keeping your skin at its natural tone ensures precision and safety.
- Time treatment carefully around summer travel for optimal consistency, comfort, and results.
- Stay cool and hydrated, refraining from hot tubs, saunas, or intense workouts for a day or two post-treatment to minimize heat sensitivity and redness.
Many Oregonians choose to start in the spring with smaller, less sun-exposed areas, such as the underarms or bikini line, and then continue with larger body areas into the fall. We’ll guide you toward the treatment plan that best aligns with your schedule, concerns, and aesthetic goals.
