When Should You Start Laser Hair Removal Before Summer?

Want Less Shaving Next Summer? Start Planning Now.

Imagine getting ready for a beach day without wondering when you last shaved. Or packing for vacation without adding a razor to your bag.

That's one reason so many people choose laser hair removal.

But here's something many people don't think about until the weather gets warm: laser hair removal takes time, so the best time to start planning is before summer arrives.

At Get Glowing MedSpa in Century City, Los Angeles, we help clients work toward smoother skin with personalized laser hair removal plans. If your goal is to reduce unwanted hair by next summer, fall is a great time to get started.

Here's what you need to know.

Why start laser hair removal before summer?

Laser hair removal uses light energy that targets pigment in the hair. The energy heats the hair follicle and helps reduce its ability to grow hair.

The catch? Hair grows in cycles. Not every hair is in the same growth phase at the same time, so one appointment cannot effectively treat every hair.

That's why laser hair removal requires a series of treatments, with time between appointments for different hairs to enter the appropriate growth phase.

Starting in fall gives you more time to work through your treatment plan before summer. You don't have to wait until you're already wearing shorts, swimsuits, and sundresses to start thinking about it.

The earlier you start, the more time you give your treatment plan to progress.

How many laser hair removal sessions will you need?

This is one of the most common questions people ask.

Many clients need around 8 to 12 sessions or more. The number depends on several factors, including:

• The treatment area. Different parts of the body have different hair growth patterns.
• Your hair. Hair color, thickness, and growth patterns affect how it responds to laser treatment.
• Your individual response. People respond differently, so your treatment plan may change as you progress.
• Consistency. Following your provider's recommended appointment schedule helps you work through your treatment series.

Sessions are spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend the timing that makes sense for your treatment area and individual response.

This is why starting early matters. If you wait until spring to begin, you have less time to complete your planned sessions before summer.

Laser hair removal helps reduce unwanted hair over time. Complete hair removal by a specific date cannot be guaranteed, and some clients need additional treatments or maintenance.

What if you need more treatments after your package?

That's why we offer different ways to approach laser hair removal.

At Get Glowing, you can choose an option that fits your goals and budget.

Option 1: Book a Single Session

Want to start with one appointment? A single session lets you begin working toward your hair reduction goals without purchasing a package upfront. It's also an option for clients who prefer to pay as they go.

Option 2: Choose Our 8-Session Package

Already know you want to commit to a treatment series? Our 8-session package gives you a planned series of appointments to work toward your goals.

Eight sessions do not guarantee complete hair removal. Some clients need additional treatments depending on the area treated and how their hair responds.

Option 3: Continue With Our Laser Hair Removal Membership

What happens if you've completed your 8-session package but still have hair you'd like to treat?

Our laser hair removal membership gives you a flexible option to continue treatment without a long-term contract. You can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.

Your treatment needs may change as you progress, and your options should give you room to adjust.

Frequently asked questions

Is October a good time to start laser hair removal?

Yes. Starting in fall gives you several months to work through your treatment series before summer. Your actual timeline depends on your treatment area, appointment spacing, and individual response.

Can I be completely hair-free by next summer?

It's possible to make meaningful progress before summer, but complete hair removal by a particular date cannot be guaranteed. Results vary, and some people need additional sessions or maintenance treatments.

Should I choose the 8-session package or the membership?

It depends on your goals and how you prefer to pay. The 8-session package is one option for planning a treatment series. The membership gives you an option to continue treatment if you need more sessions. We can help you compare the available options.

Can I start laser hair removal if I've already had some treatments?

You may be able to continue your treatment plan. Your provider can review your previous sessions, current hair growth, skin, and timing before recommending your next appointment.

What should I do before my first session?

Follow your provider's preparation instructions. These may include avoiding waxing and plucking, avoiding tanning and direct sun exposure, and shaving the treatment area before your appointment. Your exact instructions depend on your treatment plan.
