I'm worried about whether it's okay to start laser hair removal in the summer because of the UV rays.
I kept putting it off, but of all times, I ended up wanting to get laser hair removal in the summer lol.
I originally planned to start in the winter, but since I wear long clothes then, it feels like a hassle and I keep putting it off. In the end, I find myself scrambling to shave as soon as summer comes around.
I really plan to start laser hair removal this time without putting it off, but I'm worried because I've seen a lot of talk about having to be careful in the summer due to the sun.
Do I need to pay extra attention to UV protection, especially on sun-exposed areas like my arms and legs, after laser hair removal?
I'm wondering if it might be better to start with areas that are easily covered, like the armpits, haha.
Since I tend to be outdoors often on weekends, I would like to know if simply applying sunscreen is sufficient, or if I should avoid sunlight as much as possible before and after laser hair removal.
Also, are there cases where it is difficult to receive laser hair removal immediately when the skin is slightly tanned, such as right after returning from vacation?
I'm wondering if this part is decided based on your skin condition during the consultation.
For those of you who started laser hair removal this summer, how did you coordinate your treatment schedule with your travel plans?
I have plans to go to the beach next month, so I'm debating whether starting now is a bit awkward or if it would be better to just start after I get back from vacation haha.
I am also wondering if applying sunscreen thoroughly after laser hair removal can help prevent hyperpigmentation to some extent.
I tend to tan easily, so I'm a little worried.
If I have to get laser hair removal multiple times anyway, is it more important to start regardless of the season and continue consistently?
Shaving is too much of a hassle to wait until winter, so I'm already leaning toward starting haha.
