If you’ve ever thought about starting laser treatments, fall and winter are the perfect seasons. Cooler weather and shorter days reduce sun exposure, which is crucial for skin recovery after laser sessions. 

Treatments like Laser Genesis and IPL [intense pulsed light therapy] are particularly effective during this time, helping to reverse summer sun damage and rejuvenate your skin for the colder months ahead. 

Laser treatments work best when your skin is less exposed to the sun because, post-treatment, your skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Sun exposure can lead to complications like dark spots, which can counteract the benefits of the treatment. With lower UV levels in fall and winter, your skin can heal more effectively, giving you better and longer-lasting results. 

Here’s a closer look at some of the most popular advanced technology treatments at Elmwood Spa that can help you achieve the skin you desire. 

Laser Genesis: Rejuvenate and Revitalize 

Looking for a non-invasive way to smooth fine lines, reduce pore size, and even out skin tone? Laser Genesis is a standout option for those wanting a youthful glow without surgery. This treatment is ideal for addressing a range of concerns like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scars. 

How Many Laser Genesis Sessions Will I Need? 

You will see great results after just 1 treatment, which makes it great for special occasions like weddings and events. However, the results are cumulative. So, for optimal and long-lasting results, booking several treatments within a short period of time is often recommended.    

Is Laser Genesis Painful? 

Guests often describe the procedure as relaxing, with a gentle warming sensation. There’s no downtime, so you can go about your day immediately after your treatment. 

Laser Genesis is a popular option during fall and winter because the lower UV exposure helps maintain your results, allowing your skin to heal without interference from the sun.

It’s ideal for any part of your face, neck and décolleté. The LimeLight IPL system uses customizable wavelengths to target various skin conditions, especially sun damage and overall skin clarity.

Laser Hair Removal: Ditch the Razor for Good 

If you’re tired of shaving or dealing with ingrown hairs, XEO® Laser Hair Removal by Cutera offers a more permanent reduction. Unlike temporary methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal targets the hair follicle itself, reducing future growth. 

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Will I Need? 

The number of sessions needed depends on the treatment area, hair density, and your skin and hair type. For most people, 5 to 8 sessions spaced a few weeks apart are required to see optimal results. Areas like the legs, arms, back, and bikini line are common targets. Each session gradually reduces hair growth, and while you may need occasional touch-ups, the results are long-lasting.  

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful? 

Thanks to the XEO® system’s water-cooled attachment, discomfort is minimal. Some clients describe the sensation as a mild pinch, but no anesthesia is required. After each session, you may notice slight redness or swelling, which should subside within a day or two. 

Laser hair removal is a smart investment in yourself, especially if you want to avoid the hassle of regular shaving or waxing. Plus, fall and winter are the ideal seasons to start, as your skin will be less exposed to the sun during the recovery process.
