Fall and winter are the best time of year for most laser and light treatments in Colorado because there is less sun exposure, less tanning and more time for your skin to heal before summer. Treated skin is more sensitive to UV light, so cooler months make it easier to protect your results.
Why sun exposure matters for laser
- Tanned skin can raise the risk of side effects, because the laser may target the extra pigment in your skin.
- Healing skin is sensitive, and UV exposure during recovery can lead to new or darker spots.
- Colorado's altitude means stronger UV year-round, so avoiding heavy summer sun gives your treatment the best chance to work.
The best treatments to book this season
- BBL® photofacial: fades the sun spots and freckles from summer.
- HALO® laser: deeper resurfacing for texture, pores and pigment, with downtime that's easier to plan around in winter.
- MOXI® laser: a gentle series for brighter, smoother skin.
- Laser hair reduction: start now and finish most of your series by swimsuit season.
- Microneedling: collagen-building treatments that pair well with a laser plan.
A sample fall-to-spring plan
- October to November: consultation and a BBL® session to clear summer pigment.
- December to February: HALO® or a MOXI® series for texture and tone, plus laser hair reduction sessions.
- March to April: maintenance treatments and a DiamondGlow® facial for glow before summer.
Protect your skin, even in winter
Snow reflects UV light and Colorado's elevation increases exposure, so daily broad-spectrum SPF matters in winter too, especially if you ski or spend time outdoors. Indoor heating also dries skin, so focus on hydration while your skin heals.
