After months of cold winds and central heating, your skin is sending a message you might not want to see.
Dullness, dryness, and pigmentation that were hidden beneath your summer glow become difficult to overlook once spring arrives.
Accumulated sun damage from previous summers doesn’t disappear over winter; it simply becomes more visible as your tan fades.
Fine lines look deeper, pores appear larger, and areas of discolouration that were hardly noticeable in July are now front and centre. By March, many people are dealing with skin that looks tired and uneven, precisely because the camouflage has gone.
The good news? March sits in a sweet spot to take action.
At Light Touch Clinic in Weybridge, Surrey, we recommend this window for spring skin rejuvenation. It is far enough from summer to complete a full course of BBL HEROic and MOXI laser treatment and allow proper healing. It’s the next generation in skin rejuvenation.
It is also close enough that the motivation is real: holidays, events, and lighter clothing are just around the corner.
Why March Is the Optimal Window
Timing is more important than most people realise. BBL (BroadBand Light) temporarily increases the skin’s sensitivity to ultraviolet light, so patients need to avoid significant sun exposure during and after treatment.
Starting in March, when UK UV levels are still low, gives you the safest window to treat and heal before the stronger sunshine of late spring and summer.
March also gives you time to space out multiple sessions. Most patients benefit from two to four treatments, four to six weeks apart, and still see full results before summer.
Wait until May or June, and you are either rushing or being advised to postpone until autumn. Starting your laser treatment now is a strategic choice that pays off all summer long.
“BroadBand Light (BBL) is a light-based treatment that can temporarily increase the skin’s sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) exposure. For this reason, spring is often the ideal time to start treatment, as UV levels are lower than during the summer months. Treating the skin when sun exposure is reduced helps minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and supports optimal healing and results.
It also allows patients to complete a course of treatments before peak summer, when strict sun protection can be more difficult to maintain.”

What BBL HEROic and MOXI Do
BBL Treatments
BBL HEROic sends precisely calibrated pulses of light energy into the skin, addressing pigmentation, redness, broken capillaries, and the early signs of ageing at a cellular level. Unlike topical treatments that work only on the surface, BBL targets the colour-bearing structures within the skin to break down excess melanin and promote collagen renewal from within.
Research has shown that regular BBL treatments can alter the expression of genes related to ageing, allowing treated skin to act more like younger skin over time. This is not simply a cosmetic improvement; it represents a measurable shift in how the skin functions. BBL is particularly effective for the uneven tone, persistent redness, and accumulated sun damage that become so visible once winter’s camouflage fades.

MOXI Treatments
MOXI is a gentle fractional laser that creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones across the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response to regenerate new, healthy skin cells. As the treated micro-zones heal, they are replaced by fresher, smoother tissue, resulting in a noticeable improvement in overall clarity and glow.
It addresses dullness, early sun damage, and uneven texture with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for patients seeking visible results without a lengthy recovery. Most people can return to their normal routine within a few days. MOXI also suits a wider range of skin tones than many traditional resurfacing treatments.

Combining BBL & MOXI
When combined, BBL treats colour and tone from beneath the surface, while MOXI resurfaces from above, providing a comprehensive approach to repairing winter skin damage. Together, they address the full spectrum of concerns that accumulate over the colder months: uneven pigmentation, fine lines, rough texture, and a general loss of radiance.
If you’ve already considered how you want to look and feel for a summer holiday, a wedding, or simply the longer days ahead, this is the time to act. A spring skincare routine built around professional laser treatment is the most effective way to ensure your skin is at its best when it matters most.
Your Spring-to-Summer Timeline
|
When
|
What Happens
|
|
March
|
Consultation and skin assessment. A tailored treatment plan is created, and you begin preparing skin with medical-grade SPF and skincare. You now have a clear plan and a date in the diary.
|
|
Late March/April
|
First BBL and/or MOXI session. Expect mild redness and light flaking for three to five days. Underneath, the real transformation is already underway.
|
|
April/May
|
Second and third sessions, four to six weeks apart. This is where the magic becomes visible. You will likely start to notice brighter, more even skin, with pigmentation fading and texture feeling noticeably smoother.
|
|
June
|
Results consolidation. Skin should be fully healed, refreshed, and ready for the summer.

One of our expert practitioners will tailor this plan to your skin, goals, and schedule. The key point: starting in March gives you enough time to complete this effectively.
How to Prepare for Laser Treatment
Begin using broad-spectrum SPF 30-50 every day for at least two to four weeks before your first session. Any active tan or recent sunburn can compromise treatment safety and raise the likelihood of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so consistent protection from now on is essential, even on overcast days.
In the two weeks before treatment, avoid chemical peels, retinol, waxing, and self-tan, as these can irritate the skin or interfere with light-based therapies.
One of our practitioners may recommend introducing medical-grade vitamin C or niacinamide to optimise cell turnover and skin health ahead of your course. Staying well hydrated also helps, as skin that is properly moisturised responds better to treatment and recovers more quickly.
Complementary Treatments for a Complete Skin Reset
BBL and MOXI are the focal points of a spring skin reset, but they are not the only options available to you.
Depending on your skin’s needs, our expert practitioner may recommend combining laser therapy with complementary treatments for even better results. Some of the best complementary treatments include:
→ Advanced Skin Care: Medical-grade products form the daily foundation that makes your laser results last. Our practitioner will recommend a tailored routine as part of your plan.
→ Exilis Skin Tightening: Uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm the skin. For patients whose concerns extend into mild laxity, Exilis adds a lifting dimension that BBL and MOXI alone do not address.
→ Hydrafacial: A deep-cleansing, hydrating facial that pairs perfectly with laser treatment. Ideal between BBL/MOXI sessions to maintain moisture levels and keep the skin in optimal condition for the next appointment.
→ HydraTight: Combines deep hydration with skin tightening in a single session, ideal for patients who want to address dehydration and early firmness concerns alongside their laser course.
→ LED Light Therapy: Calms inflammation and supports the skin’s healing response after laser treatment. LED is gentle enough to use in the days following a session, helping to reduce redness and accelerate recovery.
→ Polynucleotides: Works at a deeper biological level to stimulate tissue repair and improve elasticity. Polynucleotides support the regenerative process that BBL and MOXI initiate, making results more pronounced and longer-lasting.
Our practitioner will advise on the right combination during your consultation.
