Summer is a great time to enjoy hair-free skin. Wouldn’t it be an even better time if you were done shaving, waxing, or taking other measures to stay hair-free? That’s where laser hair removal comes in.
You can expect a 10-25% reduction in hair after just one laser treatment session, but optimal results show up after a series of sessions over about six months. That makes now the ideal time to begin laser hair removal, so your skin is smooth by swimsuit season.

Laser hair removal with Dr. Veerula offers an array of perks, highlighted by convenience and long-lasting hair-free results. After completing a series of laser treatments, you don’t have to worry about shaving, waxing, plucking, or using electrolysis. You can eliminate hair on your:
The procedure is comfortable and quick, without any downtime. Our experts use the latest advances in cutting-edge procedures and technologies to create beautiful results.
Winter is a perfect time to begin eliminating stubborn, unwanted hair because:
Laser hair removal typically requires multiple treatments (about 5 sessions) to achieve the best hair-free outcome. However, you must wait at least 4-6 weeks between laser hair removal sessions. A winter start sets you up for summer success.
To experience the best results after laser hair removal, you must avoid direct sunlight exposure. This is easier to do during the colder winter months.
You should avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for six weeks (or as directed by your provider) after treatment, and protect your skin from UV rays before and between laser treatment sessions.
You’ll be instructed to avoid other hair removal methods at least four weeks before undergoing laser hair removal at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa — including plucking, electrolysis, and waxing.
Again, this is much easier to do during colder months when you can wear pants and sweatshirts. You’ll shave the treatment area the day before treatment.
The results of laser hair removal aren’t instantaneous. Treated hair begins falling out during a period of several days, weeks, and months. During this time, you can more easily hide lingering hairs under winter clothes until you complete treatment. Then, you can show off your much-awaited results during the heat of summer.
As with numerous other cosmetic treatments, you can expect temporary side effects after laser hair removal — at least for the first few hours. Examples include skin irritation, redness, and swelling, which are easier to cover up with long pants and long-sleeved shirts during cold seasons.
Laser hair removal isn’t the only cosmetic procedure to consider during the winter months at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa.
We also provide sclerotherapy, microdermabrasion, microneedling, chemical peels, and other customized treatments that work well when it’s cold because you can avoid excess sunlight or hide temporary side effects.
