Why Winter Is Ideal for Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal works best on untanned skin and untreated follicles. During winter, reduced sun exposure makes your skin less sensitive and lowers the risk of post-treatment complications like hyperpigmentation. Since you're already covered up, it’s easier to avoid sun exposure after each session, which is essential for optimal results and healing.
Winter also aligns with the natural growth cycle of hair, helping you stay on schedule with treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. By starting in December, you can typically complete a full series by spring or early summer, making this the smartest time of year to begin.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses light-based technology to target the melanin in your hair follicles. The laser energy converts to heat, which destroys the follicle’s ability to regrow without harming the surrounding skin. At Glo Skin & Medspa, our advanced system is calibrated for different skin tones and hair types, offering a customizable experience tailored to your goals.
You’ll need multiple sessions—usually 6 to 8—for permanent reduction. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser only affects follicles during the active growth phase (anagen). Treatments are quick, with minimal discomfort, and can be used on virtually any area: legs, underarms, bikini line, arms, face, back, or chest.
What to Expect From Your Treatment Plan
Before beginning laser hair removal, you’ll have a consultation to assess your skin tone, hair colour, and treatment areas. Avoid waxing, tweezing, and sun exposure for a few weeks before your appointment, as these affect follicle visibility and skin safety.
During the session, a cooling gel or device may be used to protect your skin and reduce discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap, similar to a rubber band. Redness or swelling may occur, but these side effects fade quickly. For best results, treatments are scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks.
By summer, you’ll be able to enjoy smoother, low-maintenance skin with fewer ingrown hairs, bumps, and razor burn.
