Winter is a great season for many things – cozy sweaters, movie nights, holiday parties to name a few. But laser hair removal? Nobody shows off their legs in the middle of winter and it’s too early to think of getting ready for the beach.
The main reason why winter is a great time for laser hair removal is because the results are cumulative. The laser permanently damages your hair follicle, making hair grow back thinner or not at all.
Stadia Med Spa has 17 years of experience with laser hair removal and other cosmetic treatments to help you discover a beautiful, confident you during any season! This article looks more deeply into why winter is the best time to start laser hair removal. Keep reading to learn about how it works, the benefits, and why you should start laser hair removal before the summer!
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment to get rid of unwanted hair. You can remove hair from any part of your body (except the area around your eyes) and the results are cumulative – so the more you go, the less hair will grow back.
Above all else, Stadia Med Spa is dedicated to your comfort and safety. Your provider will check in with you regularly to make sure you are tolerating the treatment well.
Laser hair removal has many unexpected benefits on top of the removal of unwanted hair. Here are a few benefits you can expect when you try laser hair removal.
Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Shaving and waxing often result in painful ingrown hairs while laser hair removal does not. Because the laser targets the hair inside your skin, it prevents hair from growing back inwards.
Smoother Skin: Removing the hair from the root causes smoother, softer, and a more even skin tone. On top of that, you don’t have to worry about razor bumps, irritation, or redness. Laser hair removal is especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin who experience negative results from other hair removal methods.
Time Saver: Laser hair removal is fast and precise, especially when compared to waxing or shaving. For those with busy schedules, laser hair removal can be a time saver.
Long-Term Savings: While laser hair removal is more expensive up front, the long-term savings are worth consideration. The results of laser hair removal are cumulative, meaning that less hair grows back with each treatment. As time passes, you will need fewer and fewer treatments, whereas traditional shaving or waxing treatments require maintenance for the rest of your life.
Sweat Less: In some cases, laser hair removal can help with excessive sweating. The procedure can affect your sweat glands and result in an unexpected benefit for people who struggle with excessive sweat.

Many people wonder how often you should get laser hair removal to see the best results. The frequency will depend on the treatment area, your unique hair growth cycle, and your goals. In general, people need several sessions to get the best results.
For initial sessions, you might need:
On average, you need between 4 and 6 sessions for optimal results. This number may need to be adjusted based on your skin color, hair color, hair thickness, and the treatment area.
After the initial sessions, your provider will discuss less frequent maintenance visits. They are typically scheduled as needed and are based on the individual’s hair regrowth patterns. Stadia usually suggests a maintenance visit every few months to address any new hair growth.
The longer you do laser hair removal, the better the result. The frequency between sessions will increase because the hair growth cycle slows down and there are fewer active hairs to target. Your Stadia Med Spa provider will assess your progress over time and let you know how to schedule going forward.
Always remember – Consistency is important for laser hair removal! If you miss appointments (especially during the initial treatments), you may compromise your long-term results.
Many of the benefits of laser hair removal occur regardless of the season. However, there are a few reasons why winter is a great time for laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal can cause redness, irritation, and swelling. In the height of summer, these symptoms are exacerbated because of the heat, and you need to cover your skin to protect it from harmful UV rays to prevent hyperpigmentation. During the winter, you already cover the skin to keep warm and the lower temps won’t exacerbate your skin irritation.
Starting your laser hair removal during winter will also ensure that you see your best results come summer. When you get the initial treatments done during the winter, you will see less and less hair grow back. No need to get your body “summer-ready.” You will have smooth, hair-free skin as soon as the summer rolls around!
Stadia Med Spa wants to help you discover a beautiful, confident you, regardless of the season. This article looks at why winter is a great time for laser hair removal, but the truth is, the cumulative effects of the treatment make any time a good time to start if you are looking for smoother, hair-free skin.
