When it comes to skincare, timing matters just as much as technique — especially with laser treatments. One of the most common questions we hear is: “Can I still get laser in the summer?”

The short answer: sometimes — but you need to be smart about it.

At Aethereal Medical Spa & Wellness, our priority is delivering safe, transformative results year-round. Here’s what you should know.

❓ Why Are Traditional Laser Treatments Risky in Summer?

Most traditional lasers work by targeting pigment in the skin. That’s where summer sun exposure complicates things. Tanned or sun-exposed skin can increase the risk of:

  • Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)

  • Hypopigmentation (light spots)

  • Photosensitivity

  • Irritation or delayed healing

Because your skin is more vulnerable in summer, many providers recommend waiting until fall or winter for certain laser treatments.

❓ Is There a Safe Alternative to Lasers in Summer?

Yes! The good news is that not all resurfacing treatments are off-limits.

At Aethereal Medical Spa & Wellness, we offer Alma Opus Plasma RF — a skin-rejuvenation option that’s much more summer-friendly.

Unlike traditional lasers, Opus Plasma:

  • Uses plasma + radiofrequency energy instead of light.

  • Does not target pigment, making it safe for all skin types.

  • Creates controlled micro-injuries with minimal heat diffusion.

  • Has less downtime than fractional lasers.

  • Is more compatible with seasonal sun exposure (with proper care).

So, if you’ve been putting off skin resurfacing until cooler months — you don’t have to anymore.

❓ Can Any Lasers Be Done in Summer?

Some laser services (like laser hair removal) can still be done safely in summer, but precautions matter. Factors to consider include:

  • Your skin type and tone

  • Your recent sun exposure

  • Your treatment goals and timeline

  • How carefully you’ll follow post-care instructions

The safest way to decide? Book a consultation with our licensed providers before scheduling any summer laser service.
