Why Winter Is the Best Time for Fractional Laser

There’s a rhythm to how our skin behaves with the seasons and winter just happens to be the perfect moment for deeper, results-driven treatments like fractional laser resurfacing.

At Aegis MD in St. Catharines, we often recommend scheduling a fractional laser in the colder months. Not just for convenience, but because the conditions genuinely support better healing, better protection, and, ultimately, better results.

Fractional Laser Explained

Fractional laser works beneath the surface of your skin to stimulate collagen production and support the natural renewal process. It treats sun damage, texture irregularities, acne scars, and fine lines by creating microscopic “columns” in the skin that trigger repair. It’s one of the most effective ways to reveal smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin over time.

Because this treatment activates your skin’s internal healing systems, post-care is everything and this is where winter has its advantages.

Why Cold Weather Makes a Difference

Freshly treated skin is extra sensitive to UV exposure, and winter brings shorter days and weaker sun, making it much easier to avoid sun damage while your skin is recovering. Hats, scarves, and cozy layers become helpful (and stylish) ways to protect your investment while your skin does its thing.

Not to mention, most of us naturally slow down in winter. You’re likely already spending more time indoors, which means fewer social obligations and more opportunities to recover comfortably at home.

Results That Show Up When You’re Ready

With fractional laser, your results unfold gradually. You’ll start to notice the difference after a few weeks but the full glow emerges closer to the two- to three-month mark. That’s why starting in winter is so strategic. By the time spring rolls around, your skin will look refreshed, brighter, and beautifully renewed.

If fractional laser is on your skincare wishlist, winter is truly the ideal time to start.
