Notes
When to Book Laser
Why the calendar matters more than people expect.
Laser season at Parlor runs September 15 to April 15, and all laser work happens inside it. That one fact decides more of your plan than anything else on the menu.
The quiet reason is dosing, not just safety. Light-based treatments are tuned to your skin's pigment, and the device's own treatment protocols step the energy down as pigment goes up. A tan raises your pigment, so a tanned guest gets treated at lower energy: undertreated, at the same price. The season exists so every session you pay for works as hard as it can.
Then there's the series arithmetic. Most guests need 8 to 10 treatments, spaced weeks apart, and the full course has to fit between two summers. Start near the season's open and the math is comfortable. Start in February and this season can only begin what next season finishes. Neither is wrong, but one gets you further before the sun comes back.
The season books three to six months ahead, so autumn appointments are made in spring and summer. If laser is on your mind for this fall, the consultation is the step to take now; consultations run year-round, and yours ends with real numbers and your series mapped onto the calendar.
One more date to respect: two weeks clear of sun, tanning beds, and self-tanner on the treatment area, before and after each session. Plan trips around sessions or sessions around trips, and tell us about both when you book.
