Summer is when most clients want smooth, hair-free skin. But it’s also the time they worry most about laser hair removal. We hear it often: “Can I do laser treatments if I’m tanning?” or “Is it safe during hot weather?” These concerns are valid—but with the right laser technology and care, laser hair removal in summer is completely safe and highly effective.
Yes, you can safely continue laser hair removal in summer by avoiding sun exposure, using SPF, and choosing the right laser hair removal machine for your skin type.
At MNLT, we manufacture professional-grade diode laser hair removal machines, IPL devices, and Alexandrite laser machines that are safe for summer use—with advanced cooling, skin detection, and customizable energy levels. Read on to discover how to help your clients stay on schedule with confidence, even during the hottest months.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe in Summer?
Yes – If You Take the Right Precautions
We treat clients all year round, including summer. With proper preparation, there’s no need to delay laser hair removal just because it’s hot outside. The key is to protect the skin from sun exposure and choose the right laser type for your client’s skin tone.
For example, our diode laser hair removal machines with 4 wavelengths (755nm/808nm/940nm/1064nm) can safely treat a wide range of skin types, including darker or tanned skin.
We always recommend clients:
Avoid direct sun exposure 1–2 weeks before and after treatment
Use a high-SPF sunscreen daily
Skip tanning and sunburned areas until skin tone normalizes
Keep the treated area cool, clean, and moisturized
Which Areas Are Safe to Treat During Summer?
Focus on Covered Areas Like Bikini, Underarms, Back
In summer, we usually start with areas that are not exposed to sunlight—such as:
Bikini line
Underarms
Back
Chest
Abdomen
These are ideal for summer treatments because they’re less likely to be tanned or sunburned. When using professional systems like our IPL + Diode Laser Hair Removal Machines, these areas respond well even during warmer months.
For exposed areas like arms or face, it’s best to evaluate sun exposure and wait if the skin has darkened recently.
What Type of Laser Hair Removal Machine Works Best in Summer?
Diode Laser is the Most Versatile for All Skin Types
From a technical standpoint, diode laser hair removal machines are the most recommended for year-round treatment. The 808nm wavelength penetrates deeply into the follicle while minimizing damage to surrounding skin. Our machines are equipped with advanced cooling and smart skin detection, reducing the risk of burns or irritation—even in warmer months.

Alexandrite Laser – Fast for Fair Skin
If your salon serves mostly light-skinned clients, the alexandrite laser hair removal machine (755nm/1064nm) is a great option. It works exceptionally well on light skin with dark, fine hair. Just make sure the client has not been recently sun-exposed.

IPL Hair Removal – For Cosmetic Versatility
Our IPL laser hair removal machines are multifunctional systems that can be used safely in summer, provided your clients’ skin tone hasn’t recently darkened. IPL works well for lighter skin and can handle large areas efficiently, but requires strict sun avoidance before and after sessions.

IPL Hair Removal – For Cosmetic Versatility
Here’s what we advise every client during summer:
Shave 24 hours before the session – do not wax or tweeze
Clean skin only – no lotion, deodorant, or makeup on the treatment area
Avoid sun exposure for 10–14 days before and after treatment
Apply SPF 30+ daily – especially on exposed areas
Stay cool post-treatment – no saunas, hot tubs, or intense workouts for 48 hours
By using high-quality systems like our portable diode laser hair removal machines or IPL + diode hybrid platforms, you’ll ensure fast recovery and client satisfaction year-round.
Why Summer is a Great Time to Start Laser Hair Removal
Contrary to popular belief, summer is not a bad time to begin hair removal treatments. In fact, starting in summer means clients will see results by fall or winter, just in time for holidays or weddings. And since laser hair removal typically requires 4–6 sessions, it’s better to begin than wait.
We help many clients continue their treatments during summer using our OEM diode laser hair removal machines that feature precision targeting and minimal downtime.
Whether you’re purchasing a portable diode laser hair removal machine, or seeking a commercial laser hair removal machine for your clinic, we provide full training, factory-direct prices, and OEM/ODM services.
