The truth? Winter might just be the glow-up season no one talks about.
And if you’ve ever thought about starting laser hair removal, right now, yes, in the middle of cozy-sweater, fuzzy-sock season, is hands-down the smartest time to begin.
Many women in the 35–55 age range tell us the same thing:
“I’m tired of shaving every day. I’m tired of ingrown hairs. I’m tired of stubble showing up 10 minutes after I put lotion on.”
We hear you. And we’re here to guide you.
At Colorado Beauty RN, we’ve helped countless women prep for spring and summer during winter, because the colder months offer the safest, smoothest, and most successful path to long-term hair reduction, especially here in Colorado’s sunny-but-chilly climate.
Let’s walk through why winter is the MVP of laser hair removal, and how starting now sets you up for effortless, confident skin by the time tank-top weather returns.
Why Winter Is the Best Time for Laser Hair Removal (And It’s Not Just About Sweaters)
Laser hair removal works best on skin that’s closer to its natural tone; meaning, the less sun exposure, the better. That’s one of the biggest reasons winter is ideal: minimal UV exposure, fewer patio days, and no last-minute lake weekends that accidentally throw off your treatment plan.
But that's just the beginning.
1. You’re less exposed to the sun, which means safer, more effective treatments.
After laser sessions, the skin becomes slightly more sensitive to sun. In the summer, avoiding UV on treated areas can feel almost impossible. In winter?
You’re already bundled up.
And because Colorado gets 300+ days of sunshine, protecting your skin from UV is easier when you’re not in shorts or swimsuits.
This means:
-
Lower risk of post-laser pigmentation
-
Better tolerance for stronger settings
-
More consistent treatment results
2. You’ll complete more sessions before spring.
Laser hair removal is a process. Hair grows in cycles, so you’ll need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Starting in December or January means:
-
You finish your full series by late spring
-
You’re smooth, confident, and completely done before swimsuit season
-
You avoid scrambling for appointments when everyone else suddenly remembers summer is coming
Every medspa sees a laser rush in April. You? You’ll be done.

A Real Client Example — “I Wish I Had Done This Earlier.”
Meet Dana, a 43-year-old mom from Castle Rock who came to us last winter. After dealing with ingrowns from shaving for 20+ years and feeling self-conscious every summer, she finally decided to try laser hair removal.
Her words?
“I used to think laser was a luxury. But honestly… the freedom of not shaving every day? Worth every penny and more affordable than I thought.”
By starting in December:
-
She avoided sun exposure during her early treatments
-
We were able to safely increase her settings sooner
-
She completed her full series by May
When summer arrived, she came back just to say:
“I’ve never felt this confident in shorts. Why didn’t I start sooner?”
Winter made it seamless.
3. Your skin is naturally lighter in the winter, perfect for laser.
Laser targets pigment in the hair follicle. If the surrounding skin is darker from recent sun exposure, the laser has a harder time distinguishing what to target.
Winter = no tan, less melanin activation, maximum precision.
If you’ve ever been told you need to “wait until your tan fades,” winter bypasses that entirely.
4. You’re already in a self-care routine, winter makes consistency easier.
Most women tell us winter feels like a natural reset season.
You’re indoors more. Your schedule slows down. The pressure of outdoor activities disappears. All of this makes it easier to commit to a treatment series.
Laser hair removal success hinges on consistency, and winter routines tend to stick.
5. In Colorado, dry weather actually helps laser perform better (with proper prep).
While Colorado’s dry climate is the enemy of moisturized skin, it actually helps with laser hair removal because:
-
Less oil and sweat means better absorption
-
Fewer clogged follicles lead to clearer laser pathways
-
Treatments are more comfortable
Of course, hydration still matters and we’ll walk you through how to prep.
How Laser Hair Removal Works and Why Starting Now Maximizes Results
Laser hair removal targets the pigment in your hair follicles during the “active growth phase.” But not all your hair is in the same phase at once, which is why multiple sessions are needed.
Here’s the magic of winter timing:
-
You’re more likely to stick to your schedule
-
Every session gets you closer to spring-ready smoothness
-
You get ahead of the summer rush
-
Results build on each treatment, so “starting early” = “looking flawless earlier”
This is especially helpful for:
-
Bikini lines
-
Underarms
-
Lower legs
-
Chin/upper lip
-
Full face (hormonal areas can take a bit longer)
