As the warmer months fade and sun exposure decreases, now is the perfect time to consider laser hair removal. Cooler weather allows your skin to recover more comfortably while minimizing the risk of post-treatment pigmentation. And starting now, ensures smoother, hair-free skin just in time for spring.

Below, we highlight some of the most popular areas for laser hair removal during the cooler months and why timing your treatments right can make all the difference.

Face (Chin, Upper Lip & Sideburns)

Laser hair removal on the face is one of the most commonly treated areas, but sun exposure can make this area tough to treat during the summer. And the cooler it gets, the fewer UV rays there are, which allows for safer, more effective laser hair removal.

Bikini

Although the bikini area can be safely treated year-round, starting laser hair removal in the cooler months ensures you’ll complete multiple sessions before summer. This gives your skin time to heal naturally and achieve beautifully smooth, long-lasting results.

Legs

Laser hair removal on the legs is best done when the skin is lighter and less likely to be tanned. Cooler months are perfect since you’re naturally covering up, which helps protect the skin from UV rays.

Back & Chest

Fall and winter offer the ideal window to begin these larger treatment areas, especially since multiple sessions are required for best results.

Why Fall & Winter Are the Perfect Seasons for Laser Hair Removal

There’s no better time than now to invest in long-lasting smooth skin. Whether you’re ready to target your legs, bikini line, or facial hair, this is the season to start laser hair removal treatment.

Summer is in full swing, and that means sleeveless tops, swimsuits, sunshine, and more time spent outdoors. If you’re finding yourself shaving more often just to keep up, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: summer is actually one of the best times to start underarm laser hair removal for smoother skin all year long. Here’s why:

You’re Already in a Grooming Routine

Summer calls for frequent shaving, especially with more skin on display. Instead of reaching for the razor every day, it’s the perfect time to commit to a permanent solution. Laser hair removal for underarms targets hair at the root, reducing regrowth over time and eliminating the constant cycle of shaving, stubble, and irritation.

Confidently Wear Sleeveless Styles

From beach days to weddings, summer means going sleeveless. Laser hair removal helps you stay confident and stubble-free, without worrying about visible hair. As your treatments progress, you’ll notice thinner, finer hair and eventually, smooth underarms that don’t need constant upkeep.

Start Now, See Results Sooner

Laser hair removal works best in a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart. Starting in summer means you’re getting a head start, so by fall and winter, you’ll already be well on your way to lasting smoothness.

Say Goodbye to Ingrown Hairs and Razor Burn

Underarm skin is sensitive, and constant shaving can lead to razor burn, bumps, and ingrown hairs. Laser treatments help prevent these issues by reducing hair growth at the source, leaving your skin smoother, calmer, and more comfortable.

Sun Exposure? Not a Concern

Worried about laser treatments and sun exposure? Don’t be. The underarm area is naturally shaded from the sun, making it one of the safest and easiest areas to treat during summer. You can still enjoy all your favorite outdoor activities without compromising results.

With Summer in full swing, we rounded up some things we recommend to our patients this time of year.

SkinCeuticals Simply Clean. This is a great cleanser for all skin types, especially oily and acne-prone. Not only does it do wonders in removing excess oil and debris from the skin (which this time of year is more common), but it is also a great makeup remover as well.
SkinCeuticals Light Moisture UV Defense SPF 50. An amazing weightless sunscreen that can be used on both the face and body. Some nice things about it are it doesn’t clog pores and its quick absorption does a good job of preventing it from getting on clothing. It’s also an amazing moisturizer, making it a must for anyone with dry skin.
Underarm Laser Hair Removal. This is a perfect area to treat during the summer because, with laser hair removal, it is essential to avoid the sun. And since the underarms are not typically exposed to it, treatment can still be done. Another positive, it’s effective in getting rid of any pesky ingrown hairs.
HydraFacial. The warm, sunny weather can have quite the impact on drying out our skin. That’s why the HydraFacial is one of our favorite treatments this time of year. Aside from providing the skin with much-needed hydration, it also helps to unclog the pores from sweat and sunscreen leaving the skin ‘glowing’ right after treatment.

With the weather changing and the sunlight waning, now is the perfect time to consider laser hair removal. Here are some reasons why.

Sun exposure can be more easily avoided. With the days shorter, weather cooler, and more clothes needed, it’s much easier to avoid the sun this time of year. A must when having the treatment.
More time to get treatments to get in. Anywhere from 6-12 total treatments are usually needed, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. So, it is possible to complete treatment before sun exposure becomes an issue again.
Results will be seen by Spring/Summer. By the time you get to the warmer months and more skin is showing, results will be noticeable by then.

As you can see, now is the best time to schedule laser hair removal treatment. Call us at 716-688-0020 or click here to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Laser hair removal is a common treatment that permanently reduces the growth of unwanted hair. Usually addressing areas on the lower face or body, the hairline specifically has become a more popular treatment area as of late.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian had her hairline altered with laser hair removal a few years back, and it’s quite remarkable to see what a difference it made. As you can see before, baby hairs in the front left her hairline looking irregular and asymmetrical. After the treatment though, she obtained a cleaner, more uniform look.

“The hairline is important, it really frames the face” says Lisa S. Ball, NP nurse Lauren Paella. “I have a lot of patients lately wanting to come in to even out their hairline, it really can make a big difference.”

For laser hair removal in general, most areas need a minimum of 6-12 treatments. When it comes to the hairline however, a few more treatments are needed. This is because the hair there is much denser than others. Treatments are usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart until the hair growth cycle starts to slow. After that, maintenance treatments are done twice a year or until the patient is satisfied. It is also important to avoid sun exposure pre and post treatment.

As an effective option for reshaping the hairline, laser hair removal provides patients with optimal results. If you are interested in learning more about the process or would like to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact our office today.

Body hair maintenance and removal has been commonplace among men and women alike for years. Having smooth, hairless areas on the body is ideal for many people. With recent advancements, specifically with laser treatment, the popularity and prevalence of hair removal has increased dramatically.

First introduced to the public in the mid 1990s, laser hair removal is a technique that uses beams of highly concentrated light to penetrate hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the dark pigment (melanin) within the hair follicles destroying them on contact. This causes a permanent reduction in the overall amount of hair growth. Due to the cycles that hair grows in, repeated treatments are necessary to effectively eliminate the hair follicles.

After treatment you may notice redness, sensitivity, small bumps (resembling shave bumps), but that will resolve on it’s own rather quickly. Most of the lasers used for this kind of treatment are equipped with a cooling device that reduces the discomfort from the laser light. With treatment done typically every four to six weeks, patients may need up to twelve treatments to see the full results.

Possessing precision and speed, laser treatment has proved to be the most effective and efficient means for hair removal. If you are interested in learning more about laser hair removal or would like to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact our office today.
