Why You Can Safely Continue Laser Treatments in Summer

Laser treatments are a powerful, non-invasive way to address a wide range of skin concerns—from pigmentation and redness to texture, acne scars, and signs of aging. While UV exposure is a valid concern, not all lasers carry the same risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially when managed by a licensed provider with a summer-friendly protocol.

Many modern lasers are gentler, more precise, and designed to work safely on a variety of skin tones and conditions year-round.

That said, the key to summer laser safety is:

• Choosing the right type of laser
• Avoiding direct sun exposure pre- and post-treatment
• Wearing broad-spectrum SPF 30+
• Wearing clothing to help with coverage

Top Summer-Safe Laser Treatments

Here are our top recommended cosmetic laser treatments that can safely be performed during summer:

1. Laser Toning Lasers Gentle yet effective, toning lasers like Clarity Laser Toning or the Ultra Glo Laser are excellent for reducing redness, improving skin tone, minimizing pores, and stimulating collagen. These lasers work below the skin’s surface without causing significant disruption to the outer layer, making them safe even during sunny months.

2. Vascular Lasers (Vein and Redness Reduction) – DermaV laser treatments for broken capillaries, facial veins, and rosacea using vascular lasers can be done year-round. These lasers are typically very targeted and don’t require extended downtime or intense skin shedding, which makes them ideal for summer.

3. Hair Removal Laser - Laser hair removal is a popular year-round treatment (for certain body parts.) If you tan, we recommend focusing on areas like the armpits to avoid pigmentation issues. If you are not a tanner, then you are free to treat an area you prefer.

4. Non-Ablative Fractional Lasers – Unlike ablative lasers, non-ablative options stimulate collagen and improve texture without removing layers of skin. They are the safer option for summer. (Mosiac 3D is our laser for the best results.)

How to Protect Your Skin Before & After Laser Treatments

Even when using summer-safe lasers, aftercare is key. Here are the golden rules:

• Sunscreen is non-negotiable: Use a broad-spectrum mineral SPF 30+ daily. Stay out of direct sun: Try to schedule treatments early in the morning or late in the day, and avoid extended sun exposure.
• Hydrate and nourish: Use the recommended skincare routine post-treatment to support healing.
• Avoid self-tanners and active ingredients (like retinoids or exfoliating acids) a few days before and after your appointment.

Your provider will give you personalized post-care instructions to match your skin type and treatment plan.

Why Consistency with Laser Treatments Matters

Laser treatments offer cumulative benefits. Skipping treatments for months at a time can delay progress and reduce the effectiveness of your results. By continuing safe treatments year-round, you:

• Maintain your progress with acne, pigmentation, or texture
• Support collagen stimulation for long-term skin firmness and wrinkle prevention
• Prevent new damage from forming

Plus, summer is the season of weddings, vacations, and events — why not feel confident in your skin for every special moment?
