Why Autumn Is the Perfect Time to Start Laser Hair Removal
As the days get shorter, the jumpers come out, and iced coffees turn into hot chocolates, you might be thinking more about cosy nights in than smooth skin—but autumn is actually the perfect time to start your laser hair removal journey.
At The Laser Base, we see a big rush every spring from people wanting to be hair-free for summer holidays—but the clients who start in autumn? They’re the ones who walk into summer the following year already prepped, already smooth, and already confident.
Here’s why you might want to join them.
☀️ Less Sun = Better Laser Results
One of the biggest things we consider when doing laser hair removal is sun exposure. When your skin is freshly tanned—either from the sun or sunbeds—it can’t be treated safely. This is because the laser targets pigment, and tanned skin increases the risk of complications like pigmentation or burns. We need you to stay out of the sun for 2 weeks before and after your appointments.
That’s why autumn and winter are ideal. Your tan has likely faded, and your skin tone is more stable—giving us the best possible starting point for safe, effective results.
🧤 You’ll Be Covered Up Anyway
Let’s be honest—once the temperatures drop, we’re layering up. No more shaving every other day or dealing with post-wax soreness under tights and jeans. Starting your laser sessions now means you can quietly get on with your course over autumn and winter without worrying about constant upkeep to get rid of hair. Although with laser most clients get similar results to a wax with around 3-5 weeks of very little to no hair in between and you can shave when needed!
By the time spring arrives, your hair growth will already be dramatically reduced, and you won’t need to scramble for last-minute appointments or panic-shave before events.
⏳ Beat the Summer Rush
Every year, as soon as April hits, bookings go wild with people trying to get started before their summer holidays. But here’s the truth: laser isn’t a one-and-done treatment.
Most people need 6–12 sessions, spaced around 4–8 weeks apart (extending as hairs reduce) depending on the area. That means if you wait until spring, you’ll only be partway through your course by the time summer starts.
Start now, and by next year? You’ll be booking top-ups, not full sessions. Less stress, less hair, more freedom.
Smooth Skin by Summer Starts Now!
Laser hair removal isn’t just about the now—it’s an investment in next year’s confidence. Imagine booking that beach trip or spa day without even thinking about waxing, shaving, or stubble. That’s what autumn clients get to enjoy.
Plus, starting in autumn gives your skin time to heal and settle between sessions during the colder months—especially in areas prone to irritation, like underarms, bikini line, or face.
Ready to Start?
If you’ve been thinking about laser for a while, autumn is your sign to go for it. Your future self (and your skin!) will thank you.
