Summer is in full swing, and with the sun shining bright, our skin often faces its toughest challenges. While the warm weather invites us to spend more time outdoors, it also means dealing with increased exposure to harmful UV rays, sweat, and other environmental factors that can take a toll on our skin. But fear not! Summer is also the perfect time to rejuvenate your complexion with advanced facial laser treatments.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the world of facial lasers and explore how they can help you achieve that radiant, summer glow. From tackling sunspots and uneven skin tone to reducing fine lines and acne scars, laser treatments offer a versatile and effective solution for a variety of skin concerns. We’ll also debunk some common myths, provide essential tips for pre- and post-treatment care, and highlight the best types of laser treatments suited for the summer season.
Why are lasers off-limits during summer months? When receiving laser treatments, it is very important to not have sunburned or tanned skin. This is why lasers in the summer can be risky. Treatments like this are producing a controlled injury to the skin in order to heal and rejuvenate the skin cells. Though most treatments are not good in the summer months, there are exceptions and some lasers approved to be done in the summer months.
Can I get laser hair reduction in the summer? Yes, you can have laser hair reduction in the summer, but there are some important considerations and precautions to keep in mind:
Sun Exposure
One of the biggest concerns with laser hair reduction in the summer is sun exposure. At NEOSkin we require no sun exposure to the treatment area 2 weeks before treatment and after. If your skin is tanned, it can absorb more of the laser’s energy, increasing the risk of burns, blisters, and other side effects.
Heat and Sweat
Summer heat and sweat can also pose challenges. Post-treatment, your skin might be sensitive and prone to irritation. Sweat can exacerbate this, leading to discomfort or even infection.
Are there laser treatments that can be done during the summer? Yes, there are laser treatments that can be done during the summer. Here are some laser treatments that are generally considered safer during the summer months:
