Laser Season is Here: Why Autumn is the Perfect Time to Start

Laser treatments are one of the most effective ways to tackle pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging. But did you know when you start your laser journey makes a big difference? Autumn is often called “laser season” in the skincare world - and for good reason.

Why Timing Matters with Laser

Laser treatments work by targeting pigmentation, broken capillaries, or uneven texture beneath the skin’s surface. After each session, the skin is more sensitive to UV exposure. That’s why autumn and winter are the safest, most effective times to begin:

• Lower UV Levels – Reduced sun exposure lowers the risk of post-treatment pigmentation.

• Faded summer tan – Lasers work best on untanned skin, making treatments more effective and reducing risks.

• Less Outdoor Time – With shorter days and cooler weather, it’s easier to protect your skin during recovery.

• Consistent Results – Starting now means you can complete your treatment plan over autumn/winter, revealing clear, glowing skin just in time for spring.

What Lasers Can Treat

Modern devices like the Candela Nordlys are versatile and gentle, meaning we can tailor treatments to your skin’s needs:

• Pigmentation & Sun Damage – Fades stubborn sun spots and uneven tone.

• Redness & Rosacea – Reduces visible capillaries and calms flushed skin.

• Rejuvenation – Stimulates collagen for smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.

• Acne Scarring – Improves texture and restores clarity over time.

• Laser hair removal – Start now, and you’ll be hair-free just in time for the next holiday season.

What to Expect

Laser treatments are surprisingly comfortable, with most people describing the sensation as a quick snap of warmth. Depending on the concern, results often appear after just one session, though a course of treatments gives the best outcome.

💭 Pro tip: Always follow aftercare advice carefully - especially when it comes to SPF - to protect and maximise your results.

Supporting Your Skin at Home

Pairing professional laser treatments with good homecare keeps your results lasting longer:

• Medical-Grade SPF – Your daily shield against pigmentation coming back.

• Active serums & Antioxidants – To boost results and repair UV damage.

• Gentle Hydration – Helps skin recover smoothly post-treatment.

FAQs: Laser Season

Q: Can I start laser if I still have a tan?

It’s best to wait until your tan has fully faded. Tanned skin can increase the risk of burns and make treatments less effective.

Q: How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the treatment, but most people need between 4–8 sessions for optimal results. Your therapist will give you a personalised plan.

Q: Does it hurt?

Most clients describe it as a quick, mild “ping” sensation - uncomfortable but tolerable. Modern devices often use cooling technology to make the process more comfortable.

Q: Is laser safe for all skin types?

With advanced devices like the Nordlys, yes - many different skin types and tones can be treated safely. Your consultation will confirm suitability.

Q: When will I see results?

Many clients notice improvements after the first few sessions, but the best results come after completing the full course.

The Takeaway

Laser season has arrived, and there’s no better time to invest in your skin. By starting your treatments now, you’ll safely reverse summer damage, restore clarity, and step into spring with fresh, glowing confidence.
