Laser Season in Arizona: Why Fall Is the Best Time for Treatments
Welcome to Laser Season — Arizona’s Best Kept Secret
When the temperature finally drops below 100° and your sunburn fades, it’s officially laser season in Scottsdale.
Fall through early spring is when we can safely perform the most effective laser treatments — without battling UV damage, sun exposure, or heat-related irritation.
If you’ve been waiting to start that resurfacing plan, now’s your moment.
Why Summer and Lasers Don’t Always Mix
Lasers and the Arizona sun are frenemies.
When your skin is freshly lasered, it’s extra sensitive to UV, and exposure can cause pigment, prolonged redness, or slow healing.
That’s why fall is the magic window:
Less UV exposure → lower risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation
Cooler weather → better healing and comfort
Lighter tan → more even treatment results
Basically, cooler temps = better outcomes.
The Top Laser Treatments for Fall (and Why)
1. UltraMD: Deep Resurfacing Without the Downtime
Perfect for fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and pigment.
UltraMD uses fractionated 1927 + 1550 wavelengths to remodel collagen and refresh tone without the downtime of CO₂. This is actually a “summer safe” laser, but we get much better resurfacing and brightening results in cooler weather.
Best for: Sun damage, texture, fine lines, melasma (when properly managed)
2. Tixel: The Gentle Collagen Powerhouse
Think of Tixel as the bridge between microneedling and laser resurfacing.
Perfect for those who want results without overexposure.
Best for: Crepey texture, fine lines, eyelids, pigment, and enlarged pores
Bonus: It’s safe for all skin types and has minimal social downtime.
3. Clarity II Laser Hair Removal: Smooth for Summer
Starting laser hair removal in the fall means you’ll be smooth and maintenance-free by pool season.
Clarity II’s advanced dual wavelength technology works safely on all skin tones.
Best for: Face, underarms, bikini, back, or full body

5. Vascular Laser (Clarity II): Banish Spider Veins + Redness
Cooler weather is ideal for treating vascular lesions or broken capillaries. Especially since compression stockings or post-laser redness are easier to manage when you’re not melting outside.
Best for: Redness, spider veins, rosacea, sun-induced vascular damage

How to Prep for Laser Season
Pause self-tanning + sun exposure 2 weeks before.
Use broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily.
Hydrate + nourish your skin barrier — well-hydrated skin heals faster.
Book early — the best fall appointments go fast.
Optimize Results from the Inside Out
Lasers remodel your skin, but nutrients rebuild it.
Support healing with:
Protein (for collagen production)
Vitamin C (for tissue repair)
Omega-3s + zinc (for inflammation control)
Antioxidants (for UV defense)
(Yes, we help with the nutrition side too — that’s what makes The Bare Effect unique.)
FAQs
Can I do laser treatments in the summer?
Technically yes. At Bare we have specifically chosen devices that work with our Arizona weather, but results are better when UV is lower and you’re not tan or outdoors constantly.
How many sessions do I need?
Depends on the goal. Hair removal averages 6–8 sessions; resurfacing usually 2–3 spaced a month apart.
Is laser resurfacing painful?
We use numbing, cooling, and personalized settings so you stay comfortable.
