Smooth, hair-free skin is the perfect complement for a bronze summer tan. But if you wait until the weather starts heating up to book your first laser hair removal treatment, you might not enjoy your results until it’s time to pack up your bikini.
At The Rawal Institute for Hair Restoration and Aesthetic Medicine in Madison, Wisconsin, Shamila Gupta Rawal, MD, and our team want you to take full advantage of your gorgeous results. If you’re thinking of trying laser hair removal, here’s why winter is the best time to start:
Laser hair removal isn’t a one-and-done process. It targets hair during each follicle’s active growth phase, and since not all hairs grow at the same rate, it takes multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Starting in the winter ensures you complete the series by summer, leaving you smooth and hair-free when it’s time to hit the beach.
Laser hair removal requires skin that hasn’t been tanned or sunburned recently for the best results. Freshly tanned skin can increase your risk of side effects like irritation or discoloration.
By beginning treatments in winter, when sun exposure is typically lower, you reduce these risks and allow the laser to work more effectively.
Your skin is more sensitive to sunlight after each session. Starting laser hair removal during winter makes it easier to follow post-treatment guidelines, like avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen. With cooler temperatures, you’re likely covering up more, providing natural protection for your skin as it heals.
Laser hair removal can pair beautifully with a winter skincare regimen that focuses on hydration and renewal. With smoother skin and less irritation from shaving or waxing, your lotions, creams, and serums can absorb more effectively, leaving your skin softer and healthier overall.
Laser hair removal requires multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to ensure the best results. When you begin in the winter, you have enough time to stick to the treatment schedule without interruptions.
By the time summer arrives, your hair growth is minimal, and you’re ready to step out without worrying about shaving or waxing.
At The Rawal Institute for Hair Restoration and Aesthetic Medicine, we use advanced laser technology to help you achieve long-lasting results safely and comfortably. If you’ve been considering laser hair removal, now is the perfect time to begin. Call our office today or schedule an appointment online.
