As September brings in cooler mornings and crisp air, many of us naturally turn inward, organizing, preparing, and refreshing routines. It’s a season of intention. And for those seeking long-lasting confidence in their skin, fall marks the most strategic time of year to begin laser hair removal.
At House22 Regenerative Med Spa in Chicago’s Gold Coast, we help our patients time their treatments not only for effectiveness, but for comfort, safety, and transformative results. While laser hair removal can be performed year-round, fall offers a rare alignment of factors that support smoother, more radiant outcomes. Less sun exposure, more coverage, and the ability to finish your full treatment series well before warm-weather wardrobe returns.
Laser isn’t simply about removing hair. It’s about freeing yourself from the cycle of shaving and waxing, and starting the next season feeling effortlessly polished.
Why Fall Is Ideal for Laser Hair Removal
During warmer months, skin is often tanned, more exposed, and vulnerable to UV sensitivity. Laser hair removal works best when the skin is at its natural tone and protected from sun exposure. That’s why fall and winter months are preferred by medical providers and aesthetic experts alike, offering optimal conditions for healing and hair reduction.
By starting in September, you’ll benefit from:
- Less sun exposure reduces risks like hyperpigmentation or irritation
- Easier protection of treated areas, thanks to seasonal clothing layers
- A head start on your full laser protocol, typically 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
At House22, we use advanced Soprano® laser technology, designed to deliver virtually painless treatments while safely targeting follicles, including for melanin-rich skin types. Patients often describe the experience as comfortable and efficient, especially when begun during the cooler, more controlled fall season.
Smooth by Spring: Your Laser Timeline
Hair grows in stages, and laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase. Since not all follicles are in that phase at once, a full series of sessions is needed to achieve lasting results.
Beginning in September allows for:
- Time to complete 6–8 sessions before spring and summer
- Gentler post-treatment care, as healing skin stays covered and shielded
- A clear runway to feel confident in swimsuits, shorts, and sleeveless looks, with no last-minute scramble
Popular treatment zones in fall include Brazilian laser hair removal, underarms, legs, and facial areas, regions that are easier to treat and protect in cooler weather. For many of our patients, these are areas they’ve been managing with daily shaving or waxing for years.
Choosing to begin now is not only a smart decision, it’s a self-care choice that pays off for seasons to come.
The Best Areas to Treat in Fall
When patients begin laser hair removal in the fall, they often choose the areas they manage most frequently, and the ones they’re most eager to be free of by spring.
At House22, we see increased interest in the following zones:
- Brazilian: one of the most popular areas for long-term results, often requiring a full series for optimal smoothness and confidence.
- Underarms: high-frequency shaving area, ideal for laser due to skin sensitivity and repetitive irritation.
- Legs: especially as tights, pants, and fall layers allow for effortless aftercare without sun exposure.
- Face: areas like the upper lip, chin, or jawline, where hormonal hair patterns may benefit from consistent treatment.
Each of these areas is well-suited to cooler months because post-treatment skin remains naturally protected under clothing, minimizing UV exposure and maximizing results.
Our patients frequently tell us how liberating it feels to step into warmer weather without the constant maintenance of traditional hair removal. For many, beginning in September offers not only a physical transformation, but a psychological one too.

Your September Self-Care Ritual Starts Here
Fall is often considered the season of refinement, of tending to what matters most. At House22, we see laser hair removal as part of that ritual: a way to care for yourself now so you can enjoy freedom later.
Many of our patients pair their fall laser series with skin-revitalizing treatments like Skin Boosters or light-based therapies such as BroadBand Light (BBL), creating a complete plan for radiance and renewal.
These treatments work in synergy:
- Laser for hair removal clears the canvas.
- Skin boosters and light therapies restore glow, hydration, and smoothness.
This combination helps patients enter the holiday season and the new year, with skin that feels as good as it looks.
Think of it as a reset. An investment in your comfort, confidence, and self-expression, delivered with elegance and care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients require 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to target all hair follicles through their natural growth cycles. The number of sessions may vary based on the area treated, hair density, and your individual goals. Maintenance sessions are occasionally recommended for long-term refinement.
Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Our Soprano laser system is equipped with advanced technology that safely targets the pigment in the hair follicle while protecting surrounding skin. It’s specifically designed to treat all skin tones, including melanin-rich skin, without compromising results or safety.
Can I begin laser hair removal if I’ve recently been in the sun?
It’s important to allow your skin to return to its natural, untanned tone before beginning treatment. Sun exposure can increase the risk of irritation or pigmentation changes. Fall and winter are ideal, as your skin is naturally shielded from UV rays, making treatment safer and more effective.
Is this truly permanent hair removal?
Laser hair removal is considered a permanent hair reduction. Many patients see a dramatic decrease in hair density and regrowth, with long-lasting smoothness. Some fine or hormonal regrowth may occur over time, which can be managed with touch-up sessions.
What’s the difference between professional lasers and at-home devices?
Professional treatments at House22 use medical-grade laser systems with greater precision, power, and skin safety. At-home devices tend to offer minimal results and lack the safeguards necessary for all skin types. For long-term outcomes, physician-directed care is essential.
