It’s summertime in New York, and the instincts are clear: soak up the sun, show more skin, and become and feel your absolute best. Due to these instincts, lots of people believe that laser during beach season is an absolute disaster. We can tell you 100% that it’s not exactly true. As an authority in this industry, we’re also here to bust certain myths and help our community glow smarter, not harder. Let’s discuss timing, care, and why it’s still okay to get a summer laser hair removal.

The Myth: “You can’t Laser in Summer”

We always hear this: “Isn’t laser only for winter?” or “Don’t you think the sun will burn your skin if you laser during beach season?” Well, although these myths come from a good place, they’re common misconceptions that mess up the bigger picture.

Yes! You should protect your laser-treated skin from sun exposure and avoid tans (natural or artificial) before your session. However, with proper preparation and aftercare, summer laser hair removal in NYC is possible and can be ideal.

It’s even better if you can start early in the season. Laser hair removal is best done when there’s a contrast between your natural skin tone and hair pigment. So yes, timing matters. If you’re proactive in June or early July, you could still enjoy smooth, glowing skin by August. If you wait for fall, that will mean losing out on having a soft and carefree feeling throughout the summer. So why wait?

Prepping for the Plunge

If you want to confidently rock your bikini or breezy sundress this summer at Coney Island or show up in style for that rooftop party, it’s all about timing and intention. Getting your laser done now means fewer bumps, less shaving, and eliminating ingrown hairs before the season’s full swing.

While talking about lasers, let’s not forget about how important it is to get your skin ready. Before any laser session, it’s important to exfoliate properly. Doing this helps to lift trapped hairs and prep the skin for treatment. It’s like giving your skin fresh follicles or a fresh canvas. This is similar to s popular saying: peel before the beach season. Using a gentle chemical exfoliant or physical scrub correctly can be your secret weapon for laser success.

FuzzClinic Tips for Summer Lasering

Now that you know it’s possible to get your laser hair removal during the warmer months, we won’t leave you guessing what you should or shouldn't do to make sure your glow up fits the season. Here are a few tips from FuzzClinic approved for summer hair laser removal.

Skip the Sun (Pre and Post Treatment): Stay away from tanning beds and sunbathing at least two weeks before and after your laser sessions.

Hydration is the Key: Moisturization can never be overemphasized, and a moisturized skin responds better to laser treatment. So always drink water and use a gentle fragrance-free moisturizer on your skin.

Use the Fuzz Clinic’s Aloe-Relief gel: Painstakingly crafted by combining other skin-loving ingredients with the purest form of aloe vera, this product will ensure your skin stays radiant and healthy after undergoing PeachFuzz laser hair removal sessions.

SPF remains your best friend: Use mineral sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily on exposed areas of your face, underarms, or bikini line.

No waxing: Please avoid waxing or tweezing. This can prevent the laser from effectively targeting your hair follicles. Shaving is okay.

Take advantage of our Like Silk Shave Oil: Proudly formulated by Fuzz Clinic for smooth skin prep, it features lots of important ingredients like Aloe oil, Tea tree oil, clary sage oil, Grape seed oil, and Jojoba oil.

This shave oil will help to soften your hair, reduce friction, and keep your skin barrier protected. This shave oil is not a luxury; it’s a must-have if you’re serious about laser hair removal prep or skin care between hair removal sessions. It will soothe, hydrate, and leave your skin bump-free like silk.

Remember, it takes a few sessions to see significant results, so stay consistent, and over time, you’ll walk away feeling confident and seen.
