3 reasons why the best time to start your laser hair removal treatments is right now?!
1️⃣ LESS EXPOSURE TO SUN ☀️
It's best to avoid the sun 7-14 days leading up to your laser treatment and after. Exposure to the sun's UV rays cause pigment changes to skin that may not be treatable. It is easier to avoid sun’s exposure during the spring than in the hotter months.
2️⃣ TREATMENT OF HAIR DURING ACTIVE GROWTH STAGE
Your hair grows in three distinct stages:
👉🏻 an active growth stage when the follicles are actively producing new hair cells;
👉🏽 a resting stage that lasts a few weeks; and
👉🏾a shedding stage during which the old hair falls out and the follicle prepares for new growth.
To be effective, laser hair removal treatments need to be performed while the hair is in the active growth phase.
This is when the laser heat energy is able to damage the root cells to help prevent future hair growth.
☝🏿But not all of your hair is in the same stage at any given time.
Since the resting phase can last a few weeks, you’ll need to schedule a series of hair removal sessions to make sure you treat all the hair while it’s in an active phase.
Because it can take several weeks for all your hair to enter its active phase, scheduling your laser hair removal sessions now means your skin will be smoother and sexier just in time for summer.
3️⃣ EASY TO CAMOUFLAGE EXCESS HAIR GROWTH
Prior to your treatments, you’ll need to avoid plucking and waxing and let your hair grow in. Since the cool weather of spring is a time for wearing “cover-up” clothing, it’s easy to camouflage that excess hair growth.
During summer, it’s a lot more difficult.
