October in Oregon marks the start of cooler days, falling leaves, and the first wave of holiday planning. Before long, calendars fill with Thanksgiving dinners, office parties, and family gatherings. Many people in Portland, Gresham, and Happy Valley want to look and feel their best for these events, but last-minute grooming often leads to stress, irritation, and rushed results.
At Laser Smooth Company, we remind our clients that the key to smooth, party-ready skin isn’t panic in November—it’s preparation in October. Starting laser hair removal now ensures you’re comfortable, confident, and camera-ready by the time holiday festivities arrive.
Why October Is the Perfect Starting Point
Enough Time for Multiple Sessions
Laser hair removal requires a series of treatments spaced weeks apart. Beginning in October gives you a head start, ensuring you see real progress by Thanksgiving and continued improvements through December.
Avoiding Last-Minute Stress
Shaving and waxing before holiday parties can cause irritation, bumps, or even ingrown hairs. By starting early with laser treatments, you’ll have smoother skin without the frantic prep.
Seasonal Advantage
With less sun exposure in fall and winter, your skin is in its best condition for laser treatments. That means better results and easier aftercare.
Common Holiday Grooming Pitfalls
Over-Shaving
In the rush before events, many people shave daily, leading to razor burn and stubble that grows back overnight.
Waxing Too Close to Parties
Waxing may leave skin red or tender, which is less than ideal before slipping into formal attire or taking holiday photos.
Relying on Creams
Depilatory creams can cause chemical irritation—especially when paired with tight holiday outfits or dry indoor heat.
Laser hair removal eliminates these pitfalls by providing long-term smoothness without the cycle of constant upkeep.
How Laser Hair Removal Fits Into Holiday Prep
- Weeks before Thanksgiving: Your first session sets the stage by targeting active follicles.
- Mid-November: Reduced regrowth means less stress when choosing outfits for family gatherings.
- December parties: By your second or third session, you’ll notice smoother skin and less irritation, making it easy to enjoy holiday celebrations with confidence.
