What it is
We use Fusion Light and Fusion Dark by InMode. Each handpiece combines two laser wavelengths that target the pigment in the hair follicle; the heat reduces the follicle's ability to grow hair, and built-in cooling helps keep you comfortable.
Settings are adjusted to your skin and hair type, and it works best on hair with pigment. It's long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal, and it's used on the face and many body areas.

Why patients choose it
- Two complementary wavelengths in each handpiece

- Built-in cooling helps make treatment more comfortable
- Treats larger areas efficiently
- Hair that grows back may be finer and lighter
- May reduce how often you need to shave or wax
What to consider
- A series of sessions is usually needed, since hair grows in phases
- Very light, gray, white or red hair may respond less
- Some hair may regrow, and maintenance sessions may be recommended
- Temporary redness or swelling around the follicles can occur
- Hormonal changes can affect regrowth and the number of sessions
- Recent tanning, some medications, pigment conditions or a history of abnormal scarring can affect whether you can be treated
Before your visit
- Avoid tanning and strong sun for 2 to 4 weeks
- Don't wax, tweeze, thread or use electrolysis on the area for 4 weeks
- Shave the area 12 to 24 hours before, unless we tell you otherwise
- Arrive with clean skin: no lotion, deodorant, makeup or fragrance on the area
- Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids on the area for a few days before, as directed
- Tell us about medications, allergies or skin conditions
After your treatment
- Use a cool compress if you feel mild redness or warmth
- Protect the area from the sun and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen
- Skip hot water, saunas and hot tubs for 48 hours
- Avoid exfoliants, retinoids and harsh products for a week
- Don't wax or pluck between sessions; shaving is fine once any irritation settles
- Call us if you notice blistering, strong pain or unexpected skin changes
Your provider will give you instructions for your own treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
You may feel warmth or a brief snapping sensation. Built-in cooling and the gliding technique are designed to make treatment more comfortable. Sensitivity varies by area.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It's considered long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal. Some hair may regrow over time, and maintenance treatments may be recommended.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people start with a series of about 6 to 8 sessions, and some need more. Body areas are often spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, and some facial areas closer together. Maintenance may be recommended.
Can it treat darker skin tones?
Fusion Dark was developed for darker skin tones, where managing the skin's own pigment is especially important. Your provider assesses your skin and chooses the technology and settings.
Does it work on all hair colors?
It works best when the hair has enough pigment. Very light, white, gray or some red hair may respond less.
Can men have laser hair removal?
Yes. It may suit women and men who want long-term reduction of unwanted hair.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes, shaving is preferred. Avoid waxing, plucking or other methods that pull the hair from the follicle, since the laser needs it there to work.
Can I have it if I'm tanned?
Recent tanning or a lot of sun can raise the risk of skin reactions. Your provider will check your skin and decide whether it's appropriate to go ahead.
When will I start seeing results?
Hair usually sheds or grows more slowly after treatment, often within 1–3 weeks. Reduction becomes more noticeable as the series continues.
Can hormonal changes affect results?
Yes. Hormonal changes or conditions that stimulate hair growth can affect your response and may mean more sessions or maintenance.
