When is the Best Time to Start Laser Hair Removal?

Best Time to Start Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatments permanently reduce hair growth and we at Brunswick Medi Spa can perform treatments on various parts of your body, including the face, abdomen, bikini area, back, underarms, legs, and arms. Not only do these treatments eliminate the constant need to shave, pluck, and wax, but they leave you with smooth, soft skin that’s not riddled with razor burn and bumps.

It’s best to begin laser hair removal after the end of the beach season, on the fall, winter or spring. This is due to the fact that during the fall and winter, you’ll have limited sun exposure, limited skin exposure, and it’s proven that laser hair removal is more effective on pale skin and dark hair. Laser hair removal treatments temporarily make you more sensitive to the sun, after each treatment, the skin is sensitive to sun exposure. It is extremely important to stay out of the sun for one week prior and two weeks after any laser hair removal treatments because the laser targets the melanin, or color, of your hair follicles. Protecting your skin from the sun prior to treatment reduces your risk of side effects, such as changes in skin color or scarring.

Sun protection after laser hair removal is just as important as sun protection beforehand. Your skin is ultra-sensitive following laser hair removal and needs time to heal. Exposing your healing skin to the sun, a tanning bed, or a sun lamp may cause hyperpigmentation.

Success takes time. Remember how we said our light-based energy damages your hair follicles so they can’t grow any more hair? Well, it only works when your hair is in the growth stage of its lifecycle. Normally 8-12 treatments are recommended, spaced over 4-6 weeks.
