Holiday Season Is the Best Time for Laser Hair Removal

Many women and men spend their summers outdoors in in shorts, t-shirts, and bathing suits.

However, when winter rolls around, their tan has faded and they’ve traded swimwear for sweaters, making it the perfect season to undergo safe and effective laser hair removal treatments.

Keep reading to learn why the holiday season is the best time for laser hair removal.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive, quick, and relatively painless treatment for permanent reduction of unwanted hair.

Using concentrated light beams, laser hair removal selectively targets pigment in hair follicles and bulbs.

This energy then converts to heat and destroys and weakens follicles and decreases hair growth.

Laser hair removal can be performed on numerous parts of the body and face, including arms, legs, lip, chin, neck, underarms, bikini line, chest, and back, without any downtime.

Best of all, a series of four-to-six laser hair removal sessions can produce a 60-90 percent reduction in hair.

Why is the Holiday Season the Best Time for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a melanin-focused treatment that is meant to act on hair follicles, without harming skin. Accordingly, patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and artificial tanners for several weeks before and after their session to reduce the chance of adverse effects or reduced efficacy.

That being said, adhering to this recommendation is often difficult for many women and men during the summer months. But by the fall, tans have all faded and skin is well-protected by sweaters, scarves, and pants.

Consequently, for many patients, the holiday season is the best time for laser hair removal.

What Are the Advantages of Undergoing Treatment This Time of Year?

In addition to reduced sun exposure, individuals often find this time of year ideal for laser hair removal, as it allows them to be beach-ready by Memorial Day.

Because laser hair removal is performed as a series of treatments spaced six-to-eight weeks apart, patients must carefully plan their sessions in order to enjoy a hair-free spring and summer.

This makes the holiday season the perfect time to get started with their sessions.
