Laser Hair Removal & Summer Holidays: What You Need to Know Before You Go
- Written by Jenny, Owner and Senior Laser Technician
Summer’s coming in hot – and if you’re anything like most of our clients, that means the countdown to smooth skin is officially on. Whether you’re jetting off somewhere tropical or just hoping for a heatwave in Manchester, the last thing you want to be doing is shaving every day or dealing with post-wax irritation on holiday. Laser hair removal is the game-changer that gives you more freedom, more confidence, and way less packing stress. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
Why Now Is the Best Time to Start
Laser Laser hair removal works best when you leave time between sessions – and results get better and better with each visit. So if your holiday is coming up, now’s the perfect time to start. Even just 1 or 2 sessions before your trip can reduce growth and irritation massively. When timed right you will get a similar result to a wax for your holiday! Don’t wait until the week before you fly – laser isn’t a last-minute treatment. It’s a smart prep move.
What to Avoid Before and After Laser If You’re Travelling
Sun exposure can make your skin more sensitive and put you at risk of reactions, so here’s what we always tell our summer clients:
❌ No fake tan or sunbeds before laser
☀️ Avoid sun exposure on treated areas before & after sessions
🧴 Use SPF religiously (even on cloudy days!)
🧳 Let us know your travel dates so we can schedule around them
Trust us – it’s not worth squeezing in a session the day before you fly. We’ll help you plan it properly.
Most Popular Areas to Laser Before a Holiday
Some areas just make life easier when you’re away. Our top summer bookings are:
Bikini (any style – including Hollywood)
Underarms
Legs
Stomach line

No stubble. No nicks. No awkward moments by the pool.
We’ve helped thousands of clients get ready for summer – here’s what they always say:
“I didn’t realise how much smoother and calmer my skin would feel after just 1 session – I’m not dreading wearing a bikini anymore.”
“Packing for my trip was much easier without stressing about razors and creams. Thank you!”
“I wish I’d started sooner! I can’t believe how much easier holidays are now”
