A laser plan usually takes 6 to 10 sessions, spaced according to the area. Count backwards from June and September is where the maths works.
Count backwards from next summer
Starting in September puts most of the plan in autumn and winter, so June arrives with the work done or well advanced. Starting in April means summer interrupts the plan halfway through.
Your skin is back to its base tone
A tan fades over the weeks after summer, and the laser works better the greater the contrast between hair and skin. The rule of 4 weeks without sun exposure before a session is far easier to meet in September than in July.
Fewer rescheduled appointments
Between October and March, sessions rarely get moved. Every postponed appointment stretches the plan at the other end, which is why summer plans stall.
Hair cycles set the pace
Only hair in its growth phase responds to the laser, which is why sessions are spaced out. That timing cannot be compressed, so starting earlier is the only real lever you have.
