Pain-Free Alexandrite Laser (Hair Removal)

How it works

• Motus AX laser handpiece increases energy absorption by up to 40% compared to traditional Alexandrite lasers, hence, the total fluence of each laser pulse can be reduced by up to 75%.
• By achieving effective results with lower fluence, the treatment is significantly more comfortable than existing laser systems.
• The handpiece can get extremely close to the skin’s surface. Unlike other lasers that lose a portion of their energy when it reflects off the skin, the Motus laser’s energy is entirely absorbed by skin, making it effective enough to remove up to 90% of hair in as few as four treatments.
• The contact cooling system and the repeated passages with low power pulses induce gradual heating avoiding pain and side effects.

Safety

• Motus AX is the first high-speed alexandrite laser that’s safe for all skin tones.
• Motus AX delivers low-energy pulses in slow repetitive motions (rather than intense bursts of heat) over small areas.
• By gradually heating the area up, this delivery system minimizes damage to the skin around the follicles.

Convenience

• This safe, in office, no downtime procedure involves quick sessions and no recovery.
• The treatment is relatively quick, with small areas completed in less than five minutes.
• The treatment takes only 15-30 minutes.
• Results may appear noticeable in days or in the week following each treatment.
• Patients commonly require 5-8 sessions to achieve the desired result.
• Treatments are spaced 4-8 weeks apart.
• Patients can return to work or activities right away.

What to expect after the procedure?

• The treated area may be red, sensitive to hot water, or tender after treatment for a few hours.
• Singed hair may be shed from the follicle in a few days.
• Occasionally, follicles are inflamed briefly and this subsides naturally

Instructions before procedure

• Avoid direct sunlight before Motus AX.
• Don’t pluck, wax, or use other hair removal machines before Motus AX.
• Shave the treatment area one or two days before your treatment.

Instructions post-procedure

• Resume normal hygiene and routine.
• Swimming, excessively sweaty activities and sauna use can be resumed the next day.
• Avoid sun exposure—including tanning beds—for at least 1-2 weeks following your treatment.

Cost

• The overall cost depends on the size of the area being worked on.

Efficacy

• Each session is estimated to destroy 10-15% of the follicles in the treated area. Consequently, there is further visible reduction in hair with each session.
• Full results will be achieved after the series is completed.
• Individual maintenance sessions may be necessary to further the result in patients with more growth cycles, those that are prone to produce new follicles more frequently, and those with hormonal or medical conditions affecting hair growth.
• This treatment produces permanent damage to hair follicles and is long lasting.
