If glowing, smooth skin is on your wish list for summer, winter is where it all begins.

With less sun exposure and more flexibility for treatment schedules, winter is the ideal season to invest in laser hair removal and skin-rejuvenating laser services like Laser Genesis and Limelight IPL.

Here’s some of our favorite laser treatments that truly shine during the winter months.

Laser Hair Removal: Start Now, Stay Smooth Later

Laser hair removal works best on untanned skin, making winter the safest and most effective time to begin treatments. Because results require a series of sessions spaced weeks apart, starting in winter ensures you’re fully prepared by spring and summer.

Why winter is ideal for laser hair removal:

• Reduced sun exposure lowers the risk of irritation and pigmentation
• Easier to avoid sun before and after treatments
• You’ll see optimal results just in time for warm-weather plans

Common treatment areas include legs, underarms, bikini, face, and more. Perfect areas to tackle now while skin stays covered.

Laser Genesis: A Winter Glow-Up for Your Skin

Laser Genesis® is often called the “lunchtime” laser—and for good reason. This gentle, comfortable treatment uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen production, improving overall skin quality with no downtime.

Laser Genesis® is ideal for addressing:

• Fine lines and uneven texture
• Acne scars
• Redness and rosacea
• Enlarged pores and dull skin

While Laser Genesis® is safe to receive year-round, winter is the perfect time to build a series of treatments, allowing collagen to develop gradually and skin tone and texture to improve—so your glow looks effortless by summer.

Limelight IPL: Correct Sun Damage While the Sun Is Gone

Limelight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is one of the most effective treatments for correcting pigmentation and vascular concerns caused by sun exposure, aging, and redness. This advanced light-based treatment targets both brown and red discoloration to create a clearer, more even complexion.

Limelight IPL is ideal for treating:

• Sun spots and brown spots
• Vascular redness and broken capillaries
• Uneven skin tone

This treatment is best suited for fair to moderately fair skin tones. Because IPL makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, patients must practice diligent sun protection and avoid self-tanner before, during, and after treatment. For this reason, winter is the safest and most effective time to treat discoloration, allowing optimal results without the risk of new sun damage during healing.
