Once you start laser hair removal, you soon won’t want it any other way. After laser hair removal you are rid of unwanted hair for good. At CHRIS we are experts in laser hair removal. We work with the high-quality Italian Elits Epil808 Diode Laser, one of the best laser devices out there. In the run-up to summer we regularly get questions about laser hair removal during the sunny months. In this article we tell you everything about lasering in summer. Because it is a myth that you have to pause your laser treatment plan during the summer period or that you cannot start it.
Why laser hair removal?
Hair removal with the Elits Epil808 Diode Laser has many advantages. Unlike waxing, shaving and epilating, laser hair removal does not require lengthy skin preparation or a certain amount of hair growth. With lasering you can start at any time. The effect of laser hair removal depends on the right device and the expertise of the laser specialist. For both, CHRIS is the right place. Our high-quality laser measures your pigment and redness, so the laser is always perfectly calibrated to your skin type. This allows us to work safely and effectively. The flashes of light destroy the hair follicle, so that hair growth is no longer possible after a number of treatments. You often notice this after six to eight treatments, with results varying from person to person.
Laser hair removal & the sun
After laser hair removal, the skin is extra sensitive to UV radiation. The sun can damage your skin more quickly and pigmentation may occur. It is not without reason that we always advise avoiding direct sunlight after laser hair removal and protecting the skin well with a sun product of at least SPF 30. But this does not mean you cannot undergo laser hair removal in summer. With the right precautions and aftercare, you can perfectly well keep your laser treatments scheduled, so you don’t experience any delay. Waiting a whole season can cause your hair growth to return and mean you actually need more treatments. That costs you more time and therefore money. A shame and unnecessary! Did you also know there is no scientific evidence proving that laser hair removal in summer is ineffective?
Measures for laser hair removal in summer
To continue your laser treatments in summer, it is important to keep a few tips in mind. This way you protect your skin and prevent skin damage.
- Avoid the sun between 11.00 and 15.00. At this time of day UV radiation is at its strongest and the skin can be damaged most easily.
- Always use a sun product of at least SPF 30. Or our handige water-resistant SPF 50 + body sunscreen in spray form from mesoesthetic. Spray the treated area, preferably every two hours. Repeat this when you go swimming or sweat.
- Preferably stay out of direct sunlight. Seek out the shade.
- Wear covering clothing and a cap or hat (in the case of laser hair removal on the face).
- Do not use self-tanner. Self-tan can irritate the skin and negatively affect the result of laser hair removal.
Extra tips for laser hair removal in summer
- Schedule your laser treatments around your summer holiday. Discuss your summer plans with our laser experts, so that together we can set the most optimal times for your treatments. This way your skin can recover sufficiently and you reduce the risk of skin damage from the sun.
- Schedule your treatments now. That way you are assured of a spot and avoid any unnecessary delay.
In short: there is no reason at all to pause laser hair removal or to start it in summer! With the right measures and aftercare, you can perfectly well laser all year round.
