Why November Is the Best Time to Start Laser Hair Removal in Vaughan
If you have ever thought about laser hair removal, here is the honest truth: the best time to start is when you are not in a rush. In the GTA, that window opens in the fall. At GLO Laser & Skin Studio in Woodbridge, November is one of the smartest months to begin, and here is why.
Laser hair removal works in a series, not a single visit
Laser targets hair that is in its active growth phase. Because not all of your hair is in that phase at the same time, treatment is done in a series of sessions spaced weeks apart. The number of sessions and the spacing depend on the body area, your hair type and your skin, which is why a consultation comes first. We typically schedule face areas once every 4-10 weeks, and body areas once every 6-12 weeks.
That timeline is the reason November works so well. Start now, and you can be well into your series by the time spring arrives.
Less sun exposure means a smoother treatment journey
Laser hair removal and tanned skin do not mix well. Recent sun exposure, tanning beds and self-tanners can all affect how safely and effectively treatment can be done. By November, most of us have lost our summer colour, and we are covered up from the cold, so sun exposure is naturally low. That makes it easier to follow the pre-treatment guidelines your practitioner gives you.
Winter is also the easiest season to be consistent
Between sweaters, boots and tights, there is little pressure to have treatment areas on display. That means you can stay on schedule without feeling like you have to postpone an appointment because of a vacation or an event. Consistency matters because a series works best when sessions stay on schedule.
What to expect at your first visit at GLO
Your first visit starts with a consultation where we review your skin, your hair, your goals and your health history. We will explain how the treatment works, what to expect during and after, and which areas you would like to treat. We also take the time to assess the natural growth pattern for each area of interest. Common areas include underarms, Brazilian/bikini, full legs, and face. However, all areas of the body are treatable.
How to prepare
Shave the treatment area before your appointment (your practitioner will guide you).
Avoid waxing, plucking and threading between sessions, as the hair root needs to be present for treatment.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds before and after treatment, and wear SPF daily.
Arrive with clean skin, free of lotions, deodorant or self-tanner on the area.
