There’s a common myth that laser treatments should be avoided during the summer months, but the truth is: with the right care and expert guidance, you can absolutely enjoy the benefits of lasers all year long. At Meg Fox Aesthetics, our experienced team provides safe, effective, and personalized laser treatments designed to keep your skin glowing, no matter the season.
Can You Really Do Laser in the Summer? Yes—with a few key precautions. The main concern with summer laser treatments is sun exposure. Because the skin is more prone to sun damage after laser procedures, minimizing UV exposure and practicing diligent SPF use are essential. When done under the care of skilled providers who tailor treatments around your lifestyle, summer laser sessions can still deliver radiant, long-term results.
What Laser Treatments Are Summer-Safe? At Meg Fox Aesthetics, we focus on advanced laser treatments that can be performed safely during summer with the right precautions:
-
MOXI: A gentle, non-ablative fractional laser ideal for skin maintenance, texture, tone, and brightening. MOXI is safe for all skin types and can be performed year-round.
-
BBL (BroadBand Light): Great for targeting pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. When paired with strict sun avoidance and proper SPF use, BBL can still be done in warmer months with provider guidance. Our team evaluates your skin type, lifestyle, and travel plans to determine the safest and most effective laser protocol for summer.
Pre-Treatment Tips for Summer Lasers
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) for 2–4 weeks prior.
-
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, especially on treatment areas.
-
Discontinue active topicals (retinols, acids) 5–7 days before your session.
-
Hydrate well and come with clean skin.
Post-Treatment Care During Warmer Months
-
Stay out of direct sunlight for 7–10 days post-treatment.
-
Use a mineral-based SPF and reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.
-
Wear hats and protective clothing when possible.
-
Avoid excessive heat, sweating, or steam rooms for 24–48 hours.
