Laser Hair Removal
InMode Fusion (Light & Dark Hair Removal)
What it is: A high-speed, dual-wavelength laser hair removal system safe for all skin types.
How it helps:
Universal Safety: Effectively treats both light and dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick scales I–VI).
Efficiency: Targets hair follicles at multiple depths for permanent hair reduction with maximum comfort.
Why Multiple Treatments Are Needed:
Hair grows in three phases:
Anagen (Active Growth Phase): Hair is attached to the follicle and contains melanin—this is when laser treatment is most effective
Catagen (Transition Phase): Hair detaches from the follicle
Telogen (Resting Phase): Hair sheds and the follicle rests
Only 20-30% of hair follicles are in the active growth phase at any given time. Since the laser can only effectively target hairs in the anagen phase, multiple treatments are necessary to catch all follicles during their growth cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Preparation (4-6 Weeks Before):
Stop waxing, plucking, and electrolysis: These methods remove the hair root, which the laser needs to target. You must have hair in the follicle for treatment to work.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning: Tanned skin increases the risk of side effects. Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least 4-6 weeks before treatment.
Discontinue self-tanners: Stop using self-tanning products 2 weeks before treatment.
Review medications: Some medications increase photosensitivity. Inform your provider about all medications, including antibiotics, acne treatments, and supplements.
Preparation (1-2 Days Before):
Shave the treatment area: Shave 24-48 hours before your appointment. This allows the laser energy to focus on the follicle rather than burning surface hair, which can cause discomfort and skin irritation.
Avoid skin irritants: Do not use retinoids, glycolic acid, or other potentially irritating products on the treatment area for several days before treatment.
-
Skincare:
Apply aloe vera gel, hydrocortisone cream, or a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin
Avoid harsh soaps, scrubs, and exfoliants for 48-72 hours
Do not use retinoids, glycolic acid, or other active ingredients on the treated area for 1 week
Keep the area clean and dry
Sun Protection (Critical):
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before and after treatment
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to treated areas
Wear protective clothing when outdoors
Avoid tanning beds completely during your treatment course
Activities to Avoid:
Hot showers, baths, saunas, and steam rooms for 24-48 hours
Swimming pools and hot tubs for 48-72 hours
Strenuous exercise and sweating for 24-48 hours
Tight clothing that may irritate the treated area
Waxing, plucking, or electrolysis between treatments (shaving is allowed)
Hair Shedding:
Treated hairs will shed over 1-3 weeks
This may look like continued hair growth, but it's actually the treated hairs being expelled
Gently exfoliate with a washcloth or loofah to help hairs release
Do not pluck or wax—let hairs shed naturally
-
Number of Treatments Needed:
Most patients require 6-8 treatments for optimal results, though this varies based on:
Treatment area (some areas respond faster than others)
Hair color and thickness
Skin type
Hormonal factors
Individual response to treatment
Treatment Intervals:
Face: Every 4-6 weeks
Body: Every 6-8 weeks
Timing is based on hair growth cycles, which vary by body area
Expected Results:
After 1-2 treatments: 10-25% reduction in hair growth
After 3-4 treatments: Noticeable thinning and slower regrowth
After 6-8 treatments: 70-90% permanent hair reduction
Remaining hairs are typically finer, lighter, and less noticeable
Maintenance:
Some patients may need occasional maintenance treatments (once or twice yearly) to address hormonal hair growth or any follicles that weren't permanently disabled. Hormonal changes from pregnancy, menopause, or medical conditions can stimulate new hair growth.
