Details

Motus AX is a unique laser hair removal treatment that uses an Alexandrite laser to target  the pigment in hair follicles. Alexandrite laser is the most powerful hair removal laser on the market. It specifically focuses on targeting the pigmented follicles. Because of its high energy and effectiveness, a Motus AX treatment removes hair quickly. It takes 5 minutes to complete smaller areas.

Ordinarily, Alexandrite lasers are not suitable for darker skin tones as they could cause burns and hyperpigmentation. Motus AX is the first Alexandrite laser used on all skin tones and hair types, including fine and light-colored hair. It works uniquely by gradually heating the skin using a low-level laser compared to traditional Alexandrite lasers that emit large bursts of energy. This gentle technique makes the Motus AX a safer option. It minimizes burning and discomfort on the skin. Furthermore, the Motus laser can remove up to 90% of hair in just four treatments. The laser also includes a cooling device to ease discomfort as the skin heats up. 

The result of a Motus AX treatment is smooth and hair-free skin. The treatment does not require any downtime or post-recovery care. After every session, patients will notice decreased thickness and a reduced amount of hair at the treatment site.

Providers recommend a few sessions for optimal results since each session can only destroy about 10-15% of the hair follicles  in the area. Patients will notice the final result once all the treatments are complete. It is recommended that patients follow up with a maintenance session 2-3 times a year to prolong the results since each new growth cycle leads to new hair growth.
