3 Reasons to Start Laser Hair Removal in January

While any time is a fantastic time for Laser Hair Removal, the top 3 reasons why January is the PERFECT time for this fantastic procedure.

1. You’ll be baby smooth just in time for swimsuit season!

For the best results for Laser Hair Removal for any area, we recommend 6 treatments in order to catch the growth stages of the hair follicle. Each session will help reduce the hair growth 15 to 20%!  We all know that hair grows at different rates so by the time your sixth treatment is done, you’ll be baby smooth just in time for summer!

2. Tanning interferes with any sort of Laser Treatment.

During the winter months, you are not out in the sun as much as you are in the summer.  With any laser treatment, any sort of tan (including spray tans), sunburn or sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation and could possibly burn your skin.

3. It reduces shaving!

Let’s face it, this is one of the things we all wish we didn’t have to do.  Since you’re wearing long pants and shirts during the winter months, you can skip some days shaving because of the reduction in hair removal with each session.  How great is that?

Do I really need 6 laser hair removal treatments?

"I don't have much hair, do I really need so many treatments?"

"My hair doesn't grow very fast, can I just start with three treatments?"

We get these questions all the time and our answer is that six laser hair removal treatments is a great place to start, but in some cases you may need a couple more.  Very rarely will you need less than six.  The answer is quite simple, here's why:

Hair grows in several phases (anagen, telogen, catagen) and a laser can only affect the currently active growing hair follicles (anagen). This is why several sessions are needed to kill hair in all phases of growth.

We often have patient's that still decide they would like to "see how it goes" and would prefer not to commit to a full package of six treatments.  Chic Esthetiq Med Spa & Laser in Pearland offers a convenient option for those that aren't quite sure how many treatments they would like.  First, we will refund unused treatments in a package. Second, our membership allows you to pick the monthly service that you want.  If you are happy with your laser hair removal after only three treatments, you can simply pick another body part or pick another service such as tattoo removal, Botox, facials and more.

For a free consultation to find out more about how it works, call us today at 713-909-3088 or visit our convenient Pearland location in the Pearland Town Center.

Why Winter is the Best Time for Laser Hair Removal

Why are Fall and winter months a great time for laser procedures?

Most laser treatments require you to avoid the sun or very careful about the sun for a month or two after treatment. The best times for laser treatments are fall, winter and early spring when the sun’s UVA rays are at their lowest.

How does exposure to the sun affect these procedures?

There are a couple of reasons to avoid sun exposure with laser treatments:

1.    Effectiveness  Laser hair removal requires light skin and dark hair for the most effective results. The laser targets the pigment in the hair and having skin with more pigment negatively impacts the effectiveness of the laser.

2.    Increased sensitivity  Sun exposure following a laser procedure will cause your skin to darken, freckle or become photo-damaged. Excess sun exposure after a laser procedure could cause hyperpigmentation.
