It must have happened that once you took off your shorts or a short dress on the beach, you thought, "Damn, I need to use lasers to eliminate my hair or even armpits" - or anywhere else on the body where some come out unwanted hair. However, laser hair removal during the hot summer months is not recommended and the main reason for this is sun exposure. The ideal time for successful hair removal is white skin and dark hair. Because even the skin pigment it receives during the summer can cause side effects such as hyperpigmentation.
" It is not recommended to use laser waxing in summer because the skin is more exposed to the sun and thus increases the tendency to have more pigment than is recommended and this can have severe consequences for the skin" - confirms Christian Karavolas, founder of Spa and Laser Center "Romeo and Juliette" in NYC. â??Because the skin becomes more sensitive, it can also cause hyperpigmentation by exposure to the sun. People with sensitive skin, but also those who treat the skin with different medications during the summer, should absolutely not use laser waxing during the hot months. "
He adds that the ideal time for laser waxing is in the winter months, because the skin is in its tones and pigment-free.
OK, so what if we do if the girlfriend's wedding is approaching or is there any other reason we should definitely wax? " If you are going to choose this method at all costs, make sure you do not get pigment on the skin for at least three weeks before removing hair," advises Caravolas.
In general, the armpit and bikini areas are the safest areas to treat during the warmer months, as their contact with the sun is almost nonexistent, while facial and foot hairs are not advisable to treat with laser during the summer as are areas most exposed to the sun, says Caravolas.
