While many of us focus on updating our skincare routines for the colder months, laser hair removal often slips under the beauty radar. But in reality, Autumn offers the most ideal conditions for the best results. By starting now, you'll be ready to confidently show off smooth, hair-free skin when summer rolls back around.
One of the reasons Autumn is a great time for laser hair removal is the reduced exposure to sunlight. Laser treatment works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicles, and sun exposure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation and irritation. In Autumn, when we're naturally covering up more and spending less time outdoors, your skin is less likely to be exposed to UV rays, making it one of the safest times to start treatment.
The colder months also mean you're less likely to have a tan. Tanned skin can interfere with the laser's ability to identify hair follicles, which can make the treatment less effective. In fact, we don’t perform laser hair removal on skin that has been tanned at all. So with your Summer glow faded, we can better target unwanted hair for more precise, safer and faster results.
Better healing
Laser hair removal can leave the skin feeling a bit sensitive, and in Autumn you have the advantage of cooler temperatures. The layers of clothing we naturally wear during this time protect your skin, giving it the chance to heal. Your skin has the time and space to recover in the best conditions, ensuring each session is as comfortable as possible.
Autumn’s cooler weather also means you’re not tempted to remove your hair as often. By reducing other hair removal methods, you’re giving your hair the time to grow just enough for the laser to do its job, making each session more efficient.
Plenty of time before next Summer
This is one of the biggest advantages of having laser hair removal in Autumn. The treatment requires multiple sessions, usually spaced about four to six weeks apart, depending on your hair type and growth cycle. Starting in Autumn gives you plenty of time to complete the full course of treatment before Summer arrives. Most clients need eight to twelve sessions for optimal results and beginning now means you'll be hair-free just in time to pull out your summer wardrobe. By the time swimsuit season is in full swing, you’ll already be reaping the rewards of smooth, care-free skin.
Imagine a Summer where you don’t need to think about last-minute waxing appointments or dealing with razor burn and ingrown hair. Starting your laser hair removal now ensures you’ll be ready to enjoy next year’s beach holidays without the hassle.
The idea of a Summer without worrying about body hair is one that appeals to us all. By starting laser hair removal now, you’re setting yourself up for the ultimate freedom next year. No more packing razors for holidays, no more irritated with razor burn, bumps, redness and ingrown hair - just effortlessly smooth skin, ready to be shown off whenever you like.
So why not take advantage of the Autumn season? With fewer risks from sun exposure, better healing conditions, and enough time to complete your treatment before next Summer, Autumn is the perfect time to start your laser hair removal in Bristol. By planning ahead, you’ll be able to enjoy smooth, carefree skin all summer long.
