4 Reasons to Start Laser Hair Removal in February

Laser hair removal can be performed at any time of the year. However, some months of the year are more ideal, including February, and here are four reasons why!

1. You’ll Be Ready for the Summer

Laser hair removal usually takes about three months of treatments every few weeks to see results. By May, you could be nearing the end of your treatments and already seeing a significant permanent reduction in hair growth. So, once the swim season hits, you will be ready to wear that bikini, short skirt, or shorts with smooth, hair-free skin.

2. Treatments are More Effective on Lighter Skin

Laser hair removal is most effective on light skin and darker hair. During the winter months, it is less likely that your skin will be exposed to the sun as much. Therefore, your skin won’t be as tan, and your hair won’t be lightened by the sun.

3. Preparing for Laser Hair Removal is Easier in the Winter

Because laser treatments target active-growth hair follicles, those follicles need to have hair in them. Waxing or using depilatory creams are counterproductive to removing hair with laser treatments. For the best results, you should shave the areas to be treated one or two days before your treatments so that you have some stubble. This is easier to do in winter months, like February, when you can keep your stubby areas covered up.

4. It Is Easier to Protect Your Skin After Treatment

After each laser treatment, you will need to protect the treated areas from sun exposure. This is easier to do in February when it is colder, and you wear more clothes than you would during the warmer months. Therefore, you can still spend time outdoors without worrying about irritating your skin.
