Summer is the season for swimsuits, shorts, and bare skin. If you dream of ditching razors and waxing appointments and enjoying smooth, hair-free skin next summer, the best time to start laser hair removal is actually now.
Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions spread out over several months, so planning ahead is key. Here’s what you need to know to get beach-ready by next summer.
How Many Sessions Does Laser Hair Removal Take?
On average, laser hair removal requires 8 sessions, spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart. This timing is necessary because the laser targets hair only during its active growth phase.
Depending on your hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated, your provider will recommend a customized schedule.
When Should You Start?
To be smooth and hair-free by June or July, the ideal time to start laser hair removal is late summer or early fall—around August to September.
Here’s why:
- Starting in late summer lets you space out treatments through fall and winter.
- Cooler months mean less sun exposure, reducing the risk of complications.
- Your skin will be fully healed and ready for any summer sun after your last treatment.
Why Avoid Laser Hair Removal in Peak Summer?
- Laser treatments require avoiding sun exposure before and after sessions.
- Tanned or sunburned skin can increase risks of side effects like burns or pigmentation changes.
- It’s harder to protect treated skin when you’re outdoors frequently.
So, if you wait until spring or summer to start, you may not have enough time to complete your sessions safely before swimsuit season.
How to Prep Your Skin for Laser Hair Removal
Starting early also means you can prepare your skin properly:
- Avoid tanning and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ regularly.
- Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before appointments.
- Skip waxing or plucking between sessions to keep hair follicles intact.
The Benefits of Starting Now
By starting your laser hair removal journey in August or September, you:
- Maximize your chances of being hair-free by summer
- Protect your skin with less sun exposure during treatments
- Save time and reduce the hassle of constant shaving or waxing next year
