Laser hair removal in the summer requires special care, as the main condition is that the skin is not tanned. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair to destroy its follicle, but when the skin is tanned, the increased melanin in the epidermis also absorbs the energy, causing risks such as discoloration or burns.

If there has been no previous sunbathing or solarium, the laser can be applied with caution, avoiding sun exposure for at least a week and using a high-protection sunscreen (SPF 50), especially on exposed areas such as the face, hands and feet. Proper post-treatment instructions are essential to avoid unwanted side effects.
