If you’ve ever been told you weren’t a candidate for laser hair removal because of your skin tone or hair color, it’s time to reconsider. Technology has come a long way, and at The Skin Co. in Fruitland, Idaho, we’re proud to be at the forefront with the revolutionary Fusion Light and Dark system by InMode.
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all laser hair removal. Fusion was designed to safely and effectively treat a diverse range of skin types—from fair to deep tones—thanks to its advanced dual-wavelength technology. This means more people can enjoy the benefits of smooth, hair-free skin without the risks or limitations of outdated laser systems.
How Fusion Works
The Fusion Light and Dark laser combines two powerful wavelengths that adapt to your skin and hair type in real time. These wavelengths are absorbed by the pigment in your hair follicles, damaging them at the root while leaving the surrounding skin protected. What makes Fusion truly unique is its ability to deliver consistent energy across different melanin levels, allowing for precise, effective treatment whether you have light skin with dark hair or a darker complexion with coarse hair.
Fusion is also equipped with cooling technology that enhances comfort during treatment by keeping the surface of the skin cool and reducing any potential irritation. It’s faster, safer, and more efficient—making it ideal for clients who want great results without downtime.
Why Fusion is the Future of Hair Removal
- Inclusive for All Skin Tones
One of the most groundbreaking features of the Fusion system is its ability to safely treat all skin tones—from the fairest to the deepest complexions. Traditional lasers often struggled with darker skin due to the higher levels of melanin, which increased the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation. Fusion eliminates that risk by intelligently adjusting its settings through Fusion Light and Fusion Dark modes, customizing each session based on your skin tone and hair type. At The Skin Co., this means no one has to settle for less-than-ideal hair removal options—everyone is a candidate. - Fewer Sessions, Faster Results
Fusion’s advanced technology delivers powerful, concentrated energy directly to the hair follicle with impressive accuracy. Because it’s more efficient at targeting the root, many clients experience faster results and require fewer treatment sessions than with older-generation lasers. This not only saves you time but also gets you to your goal—smooth, hair-free skin—quicker and more conveniently. - Comfort-First Design
Laser hair removal shouldn’t have to hurt to be effective. The Fusion system is equipped with a built-in cooling mechanism that soothes the skin before, during, and after each pulse of light. This dramatically reduces any sensation of discomfort, making the treatment more tolerable—even in sensitive areas like the bikini line or upper lip. At The Skin Co., your comfort is always a priority, and Fusion helps us deliver on that promise. - Safe & Effective
Safety is non-negotiable when it comes to laser treatments, and Fusion sets a new standard. The system is FDA-cleared and clinically tested, ensuring each treatment is both safe and effective when administered by trained professionals. Our skilled team at The Skin Co. is highly experienced with the Fusion platform, giving you peace of mind knowing your treatment is in expert hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need??
Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and multiple sessions ensure all hair follicles are treated during their active growth phase.
Is laser hair removal with Fusion safe for darker skin tones?
Yes! The Fusion Dark setting is specifically designed to treat deeper skin tones safely and effectively. It uses a wavelength that avoids overstimulating melanin in the skin, reducing the risk of burns or discoloration.
What should I do before my appointment?
We recommend shaving the treatment area 24 hours before your session and avoiding sun exposure, tanning (including self-tanner), and waxing or plucking for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Come with clean, product-free skin for best results.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
While you may feel a slight snapping sensation, most clients find the treatment very tolerable. The Fusion system’s cooling technology keeps the skin comfortable, even in sensitive areas like the bikini line or underarms.
Can I do laser hair removal during the summer months?
Yes, but it’s important to avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily before and after your sessions. We can still treat you safely during summer with the right pre- and post-care, especially with Fusion’s skin-protecting features.
When will I start seeing results?
You may notice reduced regrowth after your first session, but most clients see visible changes after 3 to 4 treatments. Full results develop gradually over the course of your treatment plan as hair becomes finer and lighter with each session.
