Sun. Sweat. Late nights. Maybe a few too many cocktails. Sound familiar?

As July winds down and summer fun continues, your skin might be starting to look (and feel) a little tired. Think dryness, dullness, irritation, and that “I need a nap and a litre of water” kind of vibe.

That’s where Recovery Mode comes in, your skin’s chance to hit refresh, reset, and glow again.

At Surrey Laser Clinic, we’re all about helping you enjoy the season without it showing up on your face. So if your skin’s feeling the effects of holidays, heatwaves, or too much SPF buildup, this one’s for you.

🌿 Signs Your Skin’s in Recovery Mode

• Dull, dehydrated complexion
• Rough or uneven texture
• Flaky or sensitised patches
• Breakouts or congestion
• That “just not right” skin feeling

If this sounds familiar, don’t panic, your skin’s just asking for a little summer TLC.

Treatments to Revive & Refresh

Hydrafacial
Still our #1 post-summer fix. It clears out build-up, exfoliates dead skin, and infuses hydration where your skin needs it most. You’ll leave glowing, hydrated, and ready to face the rest of summer fresh-faced.

Skin Peels (Tailored & Gentle)
If your skin is looking a little lacklustre, a light summer-safe peel can help shed that dull layer and reveal brighter, fresher skin underneath, all without harsh downtime.

At Home Recovery Tips

• Double cleanse in the evening ~ sweat + SPF = congestion
• Hydrating serums are your best friend (think hyaluronic acid, niacinamide)
• Use a gentle exfoliant 2 to 3x a week to keep skin smooth
• Stay hydrated and rest ~ your skin reflects your lifestyle!

When Should I Book In?

Now is the perfect time to give your skin a post heatwave refresh before the next round of weddings, holidays, or back to school madness. Even one treatment can make a huge difference in how your skin feels and how confident you feel in it.

Let’s Hit Reset Together

Let’s talk texture. Because let’s be honest, no filter can beat the real-life glow of smooth, radiant skin.

While summer is all about fresh, breathable beauty, it’s also the season when heat, sweat, and SPF overload can leave your skin looking a little… uneven. Enlarged pores? Bumpy patches? Dull tone? Yep, we see it all the time this time of year.

At Surrey Laser Clinic, we’re here to help you reclaim that smooth-skin confidence, with real treatments that actually work. Here’s your summer guide to refined texture, tighter pores, and skin that looks as good as it feels.

Why Does Skin Texture Get Worse in Summer?

• Heat and humidity can cause oil glands to go into overdrive, clogging pores and making them look bigger.
• Sweat and sunscreen buildup can lead to congestion, dullness, and patchy tone.
• And let’s not forget those long-haul flights and sun-soaked days that dehydrate and deplete your skin.

Good news? It’s fixable and you don’t need to wait until autumn to start.

Treatments That Target Texture & Pores

Hydrafacial
This cult-favourite is a summer MVP for a reason. It deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates while using painless suction to clear out clogged pores. The result? Smoother skin, tighter-looking pores, and instant radiance, all in 30 to 60 minutes.

Chemical Peels (Light & Summer-Safe!)
Don’t let the word “peel” scare you, we offer gentle, summer-safe options that buff away rough texture and even out tone without heavy peeling or downtime.

At Home Habits That Help

• Double cleanse in the evening, especially if you’ve worn SPF or makeup.
• Never skip SPF as sun damage means worse texture long-term.
• Stay hydrated inside and out, 100%

Hydration & Radiant Skin IS Your Winning Combination

Why Hydration is the Secret to Glowing Skin – Your skin thrives on hydration! When your body is well-hydrated, your skin appears plump, radiant, and youthful. Dehydration, on the other hand, can lead to dullness, dryness, and even accentuate dark circles under the eyes.

The Link Between Hydration & Dark Circles Dehydration affects your skin in more ways than one. It can cause the skin to lose its elasticity, making dark circles more pronounced as blood vessels become more visible. Proper hydration supports circulation and helps keep the under-eye area looking fresh and bright.

Hydration Benefits Beyond Dark Circles Drinking enough water isn’t just about dark circles, it plays a vital role in your overall skin health:

• Glowing Complexion – Hydration helps flush out toxins, giving your skin a clearer, healthier look.
• Reduced Puffiness – Balanced hydration levels prevent water retention, which can reduce puffiness.
• Anti-Ageing Effect – Well-hydrated skin maintains elasticity and resilience, helping to slow down the ageing process.

How Much Water is Enough? While the common “8×8 rule” (eight 8-ounce glasses per day) is a great starting point, your hydration needs depend on your weight, activity levels, and climate. A more tailored approach is to drink at least half an ounce to an ounce of water for every pound you weigh.

Beyond Water – Hydration-Rich Foods & Alternatives

Water isn’t the only way to keep your skin hydrated! Incorporate hydrating foods into your diet, such as:

• Cucumber
• Watermelon
• Oranges
• Herbal teas
• Infused water with fresh fruits

The Final Touch – Sleep & Skincare Pair hydration with quality sleep (7-8 hours per night) and a solid skincare routine for the best results. While drinking water alone won’t completely erase dark circles, it’s an essential step in achieving healthy, glowing skin.

Thinking About Laser Hair Removal?

Here’s Everything You Need to Know and why now is the best time to start.

Are you considering laser hair removal but unsure of what to expect?

• Will it hurt?
• How many sessionss do you need?
• Is it really permanent?

If you’ve been wondering about these questions, we’ve got you covered!

At Surrey Laser Clinic, we use the Motus AY True Alexandrite technology, a cutting-edge laser system that offers pain-free, highly effective hair removal for all skin types.

Let’s break down everything you need to know before starting your laser hair removal journey.

The Consultation – Your First Step

Before starting any laser hair removal treatment, a consultation is essential. During this appointment, we will:

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that targets the melanin in your hair follicles. This process damages the follicle and significantly slows down hair growth over time. Since hair grows in cycles, laser treatment is most effective during the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are needed to achieve optimal results.

At Surrey Laser Clinic, our Motus AY True Alexandrite technology stands out because it offers virtually pain-free treatments while delivering superior results, even on darker skin tones.

What Happens During a Treatment Session?

When you come in for your laser hair removal session, here’s what you can expect:

The treatment area is cleaned and prepped. You’ll be provided with protective goggles to wear. The laser settings are adjusted according to your skin type and hair colour. The treatment begins using a gentle gliding motion, which feels warm rather than painful, making it far more comfortable than traditional laser systems. Thanks to built-in cooling mechanisms, discomfort is minimised, ensuring a smooth experience.

Pain Levels & Aftercare

One of the most common questions we receive is – Does it hurt?

With traditional lasers, some discomfort is expected, but with Motus AY True Alexandrite technology, treatments are virtually pain-free. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle warming feeling rather than a stinging sensation.

After your session, you might experience:

Mild redness or sensitivity, similar to light sunburn. Slight warmth in the treated area (which fades quickly).

To ensure the best results, follow these aftercare tips: ✔ Avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours. ✔ Skip hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for the rest of the day. ✔ Keep the area moisturised using fragrance-free lotions.

When Will You See Results?

Most people start noticing a reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions, but for full, long-lasting results, you’ll typically need 6 to 8 treatment sessions. Factors like hair type, skin tone, and the treatment area will determine the exact number of sessions needed.

Compared to traditional laser systems, Motus AY technology delivers faster, more effective results, meaning you’ll achieve smoother skin sooner!

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

One of the biggest myths is that laser hair removal is 100% permanent. While it significantly reduces hair growth, some maintenance sessions may be needed over time to maintain results. However, it does eliminate the need for constant shaving and waxing, making it a fantastic long-term solution.

If you’ve ever wondered about the longevity of laser hair removal, you’re in the right place. This blog will dive into how the treatment works, how to achieve the best results, and what you can do to maximise its effectiveness. Plus, we’ll explain why a free patch test at Surrey Laser Clinic is the perfect first step towards smooth, long-lasting results.

Understanding Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most effective methods for reducing unwanted hair long-term. However, many people have questions about how long the results last. Is it permanent? Will you need touch-ups? Let’s break it all down so you can make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for you.

The treatment works by using concentrated light to target the pigment in your hair follicles. This process damages the follicles, reducing future hair growth. However, the results can vary depending on factors such as your skin type, hair colour, and the area being treated.

After your first session, you may notice a reduction in hair, but it’s important to remember that multiple sessions are necessary for long-lasting results. Typically, you’ll need around six to eight sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Why? Because hair grows in cycles, and laser treatments only target hair in the active growth phase (the anagen phase). This is why patience and consistency are key.

How Long Do the Results Last?

For many, laser hair removal can result in significant long-term hair reduction. Some people experience results that last for months or even years, particularly after completing their recommended sessions. However, it’s essential to note that results can vary. Factors like hormonal changes or genetics may mean that touch-up treatments are required over time.

Tips to Maximise Results

To get the most out of your laser hair removal:

1. Stay Consistent – Attend all your scheduled sessions to ensure the best results.
2. Follow Post-Care Instructions – Your technician will provide guidance on how to care for your skin after each treatment.
3. Avoid Waxing or Plucking – Refrain from waxing or plucking between treatments to allow the laser to target as many hair follicles as possible during each session.

Why a Free Patch Test Matters

Before starting your treatment, a free patch test is crucial. It helps determine how your skin reacts to the laser and gives you a chance to experience how the treatment feels. At Surrrey Laser Clinic, we offer a free patch test to ensure you are a perfect candidate for laser hair removal.

Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?

So, how long does laser hair removal last? For most, the results are long-lasting, though occasional touch-ups may be necessary depending on individual needs. The best way to determine if this treatment is right for you is by booking a free patch test at Surrey Laser Clinic.
