Laser Hair Removal: a seasonal acivity?

Author: Paulina Saliba

There is not much guidance for consumers on the best time to undergo laser treatments. Infact, most consumers assume the best time is in summer when they want all their unwanted hair removed for beach visits and more revealing clothing. This article will inform readers on the optimal time to undergo laser hair removal.

Firstly, an understanding of the laser treatment is important. A light penetrates the skin through to the hair follicle exploding it. A succession of of 6-10 treatments are required with intervals of four weeks are required to achieve optimal results. The light emerging from the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle and it’s intensity is adjusted depending of both the skin colour of the client and the thickness of the hair follicle.

Whilst such a technology speedily and painlessly removes unwanted hair, it’s capability is restricted by it’s inability to distinguish between coloured hair and skin. Burns cases often result when the intensity of the technology is too high or the skin of the patient is too dark.

The summer season is a time in which people invest the time to achieve glowing, tanned skin. Whilst laser hair removal can be conducted on darker skin, consumers need to be aware that winter months are more advantageous for the laser hair removal procedure.

During the winter season, skin is fairer and light penetrates only towards the hair follicle. There is less risk of burning the skin as the pigment in the dermal layer is not as dark as the summer season.
