Why BBL and Laser Painting are Better in the Fall
Published on July 11th 2024
As summer approaches, many of us are eager to enjoy the warm weather, soak up the sun, and make the most of the season’s outdoor activities. However, if you’re considering certain cosmetic treatments, it’s important to understand how the sun can impact the results and safety of these procedures. At Medical Spa Club, we want to help you make informed decisions about your skincare and body contouring needs, so here’s why BBL (BroadBand Light) and laser painting treatments are best done during fall, and what alternatives we recommend for the summer season.

Increased Sensitivity to Sun Exposure
BBL and laser painting treatments work by targeting pigments in your skin and addressing various skin concerns such as sun damage, age spots, and redness. While these treatments are highly effective, they can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Post-treatment, your skin is in a state of healing and regeneration, making it more vulnerable to sunburn and hyperpigmentation if exposed to sunlight.
Risk of Complications
Exposure to the sun after undergoing BBL or laser treatments can lead to complications such as increased redness, swelling, and even blistering. Sun exposure can also compromise the effectiveness of the treatment, leading to suboptimal results and the need for additional sessions.
Strict Aftercare Requirements
Post-treatment care for BBL and laser procedures includes avoiding direct sunlight and diligently applying broad-spectrum sunscreen. Given the increased outdoor activities during summer, adhering to these guidelines can be challenging, making it difficult to protect your skin adequately.
Our Summer-Ready Alternatives
While BBL and laser painting are better suited for the cooler months, there are plenty of treatments that are perfect for summer and can help you look and feel your best while enjoying the sunshine. Here are some of our top seasonal favorites:

Forma or Forma Plus
Forma is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radio-frequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. This treatment is safe to perform in the summer as it doesn’t increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Forma can help you achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance without the downtime associated with more intensive procedures.
Body Contouring Procedures
Summer is the ideal time to focus on body contouring to help you feel confident in your swimwear. Our body contouring treatments, such as Body FX and Vanquish ME, effectively target stubborn fat deposits and help shape and sculpt your body. These procedures are non-invasive and involve minimal downtime, making them perfect for the busy summer months.
For this month, we are offering a Buy 5 Get 1 Free special on any Forma or Body FX packages. Included with this offer is a complimentary 60-minute full body massage. Find out more here.
Stay Protected with Our Skincare Products
To ensure your skin remains protected and healthy during the summer, we also offer a range of skincare products on our website. Our selection includes high-quality sunscreens that are perfect for daily use to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Additionally, we are excited to introduce our new Pro-Derm Kit, specifically designed for use after treatments to help your skin heal and stay nourished.
Enjoy Summer with Confidence
While BBL and laser painting are fantastic options for rejuvenating your skin, they are best saved for the cooler months. Instead, take advantage of our summer-ready treatments like Forma and body contouring procedures to enhance your beauty routine without compromising your sun safety.
