Winter is the perfect time of year to consider a laser treatment. Whether tattoo removal, skin tightening or hair removal - in winter you can devote yourself entirely to your beauty. This way, you will be prepared for the coming summer and can enjoy it with confidence. In today's blog post, you can find out more about our laser treatments and why they are particularly effective in winter.

Skin is lighter in winter

The natural paleness of the skin in winter offers a significant advantage for laser treatments, especially compared to tanned skin. Lasers work by targeted light absorption and the pigment melanin in the skin strongly influences the effectiveness of the treatment. In tanned skin, the melanin content is increased, which leads to higher light absorption. This can lead to the laser beam being absorbed more strongly by the skin instead of being targeted at the target tissue.

In winter, there is a lower amount of melanin, which improves the precision and safety of laser treatments. The lower concentration of melanin allows the laser to target the desired area more precisely. This reduces the risk of unwanted side effects such as skin redness or discoloration.

In addition, the lighter skin in winter also allows the laser intensity and wavelength to be adjusted more precisely to treat various skin problems. As the skin is not affected by sunlight, the doctor can adjust the laser parameters more precisely to the patient's individual needs and skin type.

Laser treatments make the skin sensitive

After a laser treatment, the skin is very sensitive for a few days. During this time after the treatment, the skin may be reddened and feel a slight burning or tingling sensation. It should therefore be protected from intense UV radiation. This is of course much easier in winter than in summer, as UV radiation is low and we spend more time at home.

Depending on the treatment area, the affected areas can also be easily concealed under long winter clothing. Nevertheless, it remains essential to use effective sun protection to provide the skin with the best possible support and promote its regeneration.

Work on your buzzer body in winter

Some laser treatments require several sessions before the optimum result is achieved. This is especially true for laser hair removal. Here, up to 6 sessions at intervals of 6 - 8 weeks are necessary. If you want to have smooth skin in summer, you should therefore start laser treatment early.

The body's own regeneration processes are often set in motion with a laser. Here too, it can take some time for the body to regenerate and thus achieve the desired effect. It is therefore best to take care of your beauty in winter so that you can glow in summer. While we can hide our problem areas more easily in winter, they come back into focus in summer. Then you will thank yourself for having a laser treatment in winter.

What laser treatments are available at OmniMed?

Laser treatments can be used for many different treatment goals. At OmniMed in Klagenfurt and Eisenstadt, we always use state-of-the-art and advanced laser systems to provide our patients with professional and gentle treatment.

One of our major areas of application for laser medicine is skin rejuvenation and tightening. We use fractionated lasers to stimulate the body's collagen production. The result of such a treatment is a younger appearance with firm and smooth skin.

Another major area of application is vascular laser treatment at the Eisenstadt clinic. Spider veins and red veins can be effectively lasered away. If you are bothered by vascular changes on your body, this laser treatment is ideal for restoring your self-confidence.

We also treat tattoos that you no longer like with lasers at OmniMed in Eisenstadt. We use the innovative Harmony XL Pro laser for this purpose.

Last but not least, laser hair removal is a particularly popular treatment. This saves you having to shave every day next summer and you wake up with smooth skin every morning.
