Keep reading to see why winter is the best time to do laser treatments Reston.
Laser hair removal season is generally considered to fall between October and April.
Most professionals will recommend that you seek laser hair removal services during this time in order to ensure the most effective treatment sessions for the best results.
Laser hair removal can only be performed on skin which hasn’t been affected by the sun.
This makes the cold winter months an ideal time for your treatment as you are often bundled up and out of the sunshine.
Similarly, sun exposure following a laser hair removal treatment can cause irritation and even become more prone to UV damage.
The preparation for your laser hair removal treatment is such that you are forbidden to pluck, wax or use any hair removal method on the desires treatment area.
The winter months generally require that your body is covered more than it would be in the warmer seasons.
This makes the growing stage of the laser hair removal preparation easier to hide.

Most patients see optimal results after four to six treatment sessions.
Generally, treatment sessions are recommended to be spaced one month to six weeks apart.
