Fall; The Best Season for LHR


In order to have a successful experience with Laser Hair Removal, making a plan is important. If you are wondering when is the best time to start, that would be the Fall. And sooner is always better than later, we have had many clients regretting waiting too long to get Laser Hair Removal, sometimes because their hair is starting to become white and most of the times just because they spent more time and money with the traditional hair removal methods. 
There are a few reasons why the fall is the most convenient and the beginning of the Laser Hair Removal industry's busy season:
  1. Reduced Sun Exposure: Laser hair removal works most effectively on skin that is not exposed to direct sunlight. During the fall, the days become shorter, and people tend to spend less time outdoors in the sun. This reduced sun exposure minimizes the risk of skin damage and complications that can occur when laser-treated skin is exposed to UV rays. If your skin is not receiving much sun, it means the technician will be able to increase the energy used for your treatment easily and reduce the hair faster.
  2. Avoidance of Tanned Skin: Tanned skin contains more melanin, the pigment that absorbs the laser energy, making the treatment less effective and potentially increasing the risk of side effects. By starting laser hair removal in the fall, when your summer tan is fading, you can achieve better results.

  3. Cooler Weather: Laser hair removal can cause temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated areas. Cooler fall weather allows you to cover up the treated areas with clothing more comfortably, reducing the risk of irritation and sun exposure.

  4. Multiple Sessions Required: Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to target hair in different growth cycles effectively. Starting in the fall gives you ample time to complete the recommended the minimum series of sessions before the next summer season, allowing you to enjoy smooth, hair-free skin during warmer months.

  5. Consistency and Planning: Fall is an excellent time to establish a routine for your laser hair removal sessions. By scheduling appointments during this season, you can plan your treatments ahead of time, ensuring a consistent schedule that maximizes the effectiveness of the procedure.

We are all different and have different ways of enjoying each season, but most people tend to have sunny vacations during the summer, and for those the fall is the most convenient. However if you are very careful about the amount of sun your skin receives than any season would work great for you!
