Laser hair removal is safe to use in the summertime. However, there are some Dos and Don’ts of Summer Laser Hair Removal in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah that you must follow. Sunbathing and using the solarium should be avoided though while the treatments are being done. The laser’s basic operating principle is to blame for this. Melanin, the dark pigment in the hair, is the target of the radiation. It becomes overheated, the follicle is destroyed, and the hair stops growing. Melanin, however, may also be present in the skin and hair.
Additionally, sunburn increases the quantity of melanin in the epidermis, which diminishes the contrast between the skin and the hair and, in turn, lessens the efficiency of the laser and raises the risk of burns. In addition, ultraviolet radiation makes the skin more sensitive, so the laser can cause a change in pigmentation on it.
