Autumn is an ideal time to start laser or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments for your face for several reasons. As a Clinical trainer and laser expert I can recommend that season because:
Gentle Sun Exposure
By the time October rolls around, the intensity of the sun in Dublin naturally decreases. For laser and IPL treatments, it’s essential that your skin is not exposed to strong sunlight, as UV rays can increase the chances of unwanted side effects like hyperpigmentation or irritation. Autumn provides that perfect balance—your skin is calmer, less exposed to UV, and ready to safely begin treatments.
Perfect Timing for Optimal Results
Laser and IPL treatments often require multiple sessions spread over several weeks. When you start in October, you’re giving yourself the ideal window to complete your treatment cycle in time for the brighter, sunnier months. By spring and summer, your skin will be fully healed, rejuvenated, and radiant. This timing also allows for any necessary healing periods between sessions, so you’re not rushing the process.
Cooler Weather Means a More Comfortable Recovery
After any laser or IPL treatment, your skin can be a little sensitive. The cooler temperatures of autumn in Dublin help keep inflammation at bay, and you won’t need to worry about heat or humidity causing further irritation. Your skin will thank you for the extra comfort and care that this season naturally offers!
Less Risk of Tanning
One of the most important factors in successful laser treatments is avoiding tanning, both before and during the course of your sessions. As October brings us deeper into autumn, the temptation to be out in the sun decreases, making it much easier for you to stick to aftercare recommendations. This ensures your treatments are as effective and safe as possible.
Get Holiday-Ready
Finally, October is the perfect starting point to give your skin the transformation it needs before the festive season. With a few months to complete your treatments, you’ll be holiday-ready, glowing, and feeling more confident in your skin just in time for those winter gatherings and celebrations.
As trainer who work globally with the best laser technology, I can confidently say that starting your facial treatments in October sets you up for success—allowing for a smoother process, safer outcomes, and the best results. This time of year truly gives your skin the best possible environment to shine.
