Spring Time is The Best Time for Hair Removal Treatments

Laser Hair Removal might be a tricky treatment but Spring is the most ideal time and most convenient time to get an appointment. Here’s why: 

Firstly, the contrast between your skin and hair is more significant, making the treatment more effective. During laser hair removal, the laser energy targets the hair follicle, and the more contrast between your skin and hair, the easier it is for the energy to focus on the follicle and destroy its ability to grow hair. In spring, your skin is usually paler, having lost its summer tan, which provides the optimal contrast for the laser hair removal process.

Secondly, the prep for laser hair removal is easiest during spring. Before the treatment, you must stop plucking and waxing for four weeks, as these methods disturb how the hair grows and make it difficult for the laser energy to target the follicle. During spring, when you’re still wearing long pants and sweaters, having to shave before the treatment is less of a big deal than it would be in the summer when you’re wearing shorts and tank tops.

Lastly, the aftercare for laser hair removal is safest during spring. After the treatment, your skin is sensitive to UV light, and exposure to the sun can cause burning, inflammation, and pigmentation darkening. Therefore, it’s crucial to protect your skin with sunscreen. Spring is the perfect time to have laser hair removal because your skin can heal before the summer sun comes out. Also, the laser hair removal process takes time and multiple treatments, and having the treatment in spring gives you enough time to schedule additional appointments before summer arrives. 

Laser hair removal is most effective when done in spring when the contrast between your skin and hair is at its peak, the prep is the easiest, and aftercare is safest. By having laser hair removal in spring, you can enjoy the benefits of smooth, hair-free skin just in time for summer. So, book your appointment early and get ready to say goodbye to unwanted hair!
