Why Fall is the Ideal Time for Lasers

As the summer sun fades, September and October mark the official beginning of “laser season.” With less UV exposure and cooler weather, your skin is naturally protected, creating the safest environment for resurfacing and rejuvenating treatments.

This seasonal shift is the perfect opportunity to repair sun damage, improve texture, reduce pigmentation, and boost collagen — all while giving your skin time to recover before holiday events.

Sacramento Lifestyle: Still Sunny, Still Active

Living here in Sacramento, we know that September and October aren’t truly the end of outdoor living. The sun is still warm, and our weekends often include golfing, hiking, cycling, and lake days out on paddleboards.

The good news: even with an active lifestyle, laser treatments are still safe and effective in the fall. The UV index is lower, and with proper skincare prep — such as daily zinc sunscreen, antioxidants, hats, and sunglasses — you can protect healing skin while enjoying life outdoors.

Why Fall is the Ideal Season to Start Laser Treatments

1. Lower UV Index: Healing skin is extremely sun-sensitive. Shorter days and cooler weather mean reduced risk of pigmentation.
2. Collagen Boost in Time for the Holidays: Many lasers stimulate collagen over weeks, so starting now ensures glowing results by November and December.
3. Comfortable Recovery: Fall’s relaxed pace and lower temperatures offer an opportunity to focus on recovery without sacrificing an active summer lifestyle.
