This summer, we’re super excited to announce that with our new medical grade Lynton laser machine, you can now undergo laser hair removal treatments in the summer months, yes, that’s right, this machine is a game-changer when it comes to hair removal. Keep reading to find out why…

Benefits of our Lynton Laser Hair Removal Machine: No More Waiting for the Sun to Set

One of the greatest benefits of our Lynton laser hair removal machine is that it can be used 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks post sun exposure. Correct, you no longer need to wait 6 weeks to book your next appointment after a day at the beach. With other laser hair removal machines, you have to avoid sun exposure for weeks to prevent skin damage and complications, however, with our swanky new Lynton machine, our guests can now get back to their summer fun without any worries. Whether you’re planning a last-minute beach trip or you’re just wanting to soak up the sun in your own backyard, our Lynton laser hair removal machine has got your back (and legs, and bikini line) covered!

Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Laser Hair Removal?

Preparing for Your Laser Hair Removal Session: Get Your Skin Summer-Ready

Before your laser hair removal session, there are a few things you can do to prep your skin and make the treatment a smoother experience. First off, avoid any sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment. This will help ensure the laser can effectively target the hair follicle without damaging your skin. Don’t worry, you can still enjoy the sunshine 2 weeks after your treatment, just make sure to use sunscreen and avoid all direct sun exposure for a few days post treatment.

Wear Sunscreen and Take Care of Your Skin

We cannot stress this enough, but it’s essential to protect your skin during and after your laser hair removal treatments. Our Lynton laser machine may be more forgiving with sun exposure, but you still need to take care of your skin. Sun damage can not only increase your risk of skin cancer, but can also leave your skin more sensitive and prone to scarring. So, be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight for at least a 2 weeks post-treatment. If you’re planning to hit the beach or spend the day outside, don’t forget to wear a hat and cover-up clothing to protect your skin. Trust us, your skin will thank you later.

Shave it off before you laser it off

Another important step in preparing for your laser hair removal session is to shave the area you want to treat the night before the laser hair removal treatment.This may seem counterintuitive, but trust us, it’s necessary. The laser targets the hair follicle, not the hair itself, so if you have longer hair, the laser energy may get absorbed by the hair instead of the follicle. This can lead to a less effective treatment and even burns. So, grab your razor and get ready to say goodbye to that unwanted hair.

Wrapping it all up

In conclusion, the Lynton laser hair removal machine is a game-changer when it comes to summer hair removal. With the ability to be used 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks post sun exposure, you can finally say goodbye to the waiting period between treatments. Just remember to prep your skin before your appointment and shave the area you want to treat. So, what are you waiting for? Book your appointment today at Strip in SOHO and get ready to show off your silky smooth skin all summer long.

  • Hands down the best wax I have ever had. This was my first time going to Strip and there was no pain whatsoever and it was over so quickly! I have very sensitive skin and am always in pain whenever I get a wax however, I had none of these issues here! Will 100% be back.

  • I have been going to Strip Wax for years, and it never disappoints. They always do an excellent job, and make the experience as pain free as waxing allows. Staff are always really helpful, the rooms are gorgeous and they use great products. Would highly recommend.

  • Michaela is hands down the best wax therapist I have ever had. She literally is the best. I am never disappointed when my appointment is with her. She’s professional, quick and always does an immaculate job. I actually look forward to my appointments which is quite rare. I can’t recommend her enough!

  • I have been looking for a hair removal salon since leaving NYC. A lot of beauty salons use mediocre wax, however at Strip they use the proper black wax which is the best and most comfortable way to remove hair it is also super quick. Staff could not have been more friendly helpful and professional. I will definitely be returning to Strip!

  • Amazing hot wax as always! I’ve been coming to Strip for ages now and even though I’ve moved away from the area, I always make the journey because it’s more than worth it for a top class wax and as pain free an experience as a hot waxing can be. All the staff are always lovely and welcoming. Thanks ladies!

  • Have been coming here for over 5 years when I had my first ever Hollywood – I was scared and nervous! It is one of the best salons around – great products, calming atmosphere and fabulous staff. Nicole has made my laser experience so much fun and has always listened to any need I’ve had, she is precise, considerate and a joy to be around! The manager Hannah is also the best and is very thoughtful and kind. Would definitely recommend to any and all friends/family.

  • Absolutely amazing wax with Martina today. The whole experience from Terri on reception to the treatment was fantastic and I cannot recommend this salon enough. Having recently undergone extensive surgery for Crohn’s disease, I was nervous for my first wax in a few years and Martina was just amazing she listened to me and made me feel totally relaxed and in safe hands. The wax they use is fantastic and you barely feel a thing. Can’t wait to come back!

  • Best waxing experience I’ve ever had! Martina was wonderful and the products they use are amazing and make a really comfortable experience. I’m a customer for life.

  • Got a Brazilian here and it’s the most painless waxing experience I’ve ever had. Also very good wax job, and she really made me feel relaxed and comfortable too… which is not easy when you’re half naked getting waxed! Will def go back.
