As the days become brighter and longer and the flowers start to bloom, it’s no surprise that lots of us may be feeling the need to get that ‘SPRING‘ back in our step and refresh our skin, body and hair care routines.
It’s been a long cold winter and so many of us are looking forward to those warmer, brighter days where we can throw away the wooly jumpers, hoodies and joggers and refresh our spring wardrobe. The downside to that of course is the constant need to wax shave or pluck our unwanted face and body hair which can unfortunately, leave us with razor bumps, skin irritation and ingrown hairs, not to mention the torture of having to grow our hairs out between waxing appointments!
Laser hair removal however, can help to permanently reduce unwanted hairs leaving your skin soft, smooth and free from razor burns and bumps. Although laser hair removal can be performed at any time of year, Spring is the perfect time to start your journey as your skin has had a well deserved break from the sun. We know that laser works best when there is a good contrast between the hair and skin so with last year’s summer tan faded and our hairs not being lightened by the sun now is the perfect time to begin your hair removal journey.
The milder temperatures we see during the spring months also pair perfectly with our aftercare advice to keep your skin nice and cool for the 48 hours following your treatment. As you are less likely to be exposed to the excessive heat and sweating we experience in those summer months which have us reaching for the water, cool packs and ice lollies to help us all stay comfortable as those temperatures creep up!
Laser hair removal is a process and unlike traditional hair removal methods such as waxing and shaving, it does require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results! Starting your laser hair removal journey in spring and spacing your sessions every 6-8 weeks apart would mean you could squeeze in around 5 or 6 sessions before Summer is over, meaning by this time next year you could be hair free in time for those well deserved summer holidays!
