Our Motus AY Laser Hair Removal system uses an applicator to beam highly concentrated rays of light (laser) delivered into the hair follicles. Pigment in the root of the hair absorbs the light, which ultimately destroys the hair follicle altogether. The process is painless because we control the amount of light-emitting heat that is given at any point in time. The process feels warm as the applicator moves across the skin, and the overall experience is somewhat relaxing. The Motus AY by DEKA is the first high-speed Alexandrite 755 nm laser, which makes it possible for light AND dark skin tones to benefit from the effectiveness of the treatment. With its innovative contact cooling system, the Motus AY technological breakthrough delivers a fast, uniform, and painless hair removal experience every time. The powerful wavelength provides superior long-term results in fewer treatments. 

On the morning of your skin assessment, we prefer that you simply wash your face and avoid applying any makeup or product, so we can get a complete assessment of your skin.

The Fitzpatrick scale, developed by Thomas Fitzpatrick, is used to classify a person's complexion in relation to their tolerance to sunlight. The scale is from 1 to 6 starting with very pale (sunburn easily) to very dark (black, very little change with sun exposure).

Your hair does not "immediately" disappear. The laser destroys hair roots in specific cycles of growth. This process takes several weeks to months to complete. As the follicle dies, the hair falls out. The "Hair Growth Cycle" results in .3 to .4 mm/day or about 6 inches per year. Human hair growth and shedding occur randomly, are not seasonal or cyclical, and are often related to the stress of illness, hormones and age. At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in 1 of 3 stages of growth and shedding: anagen, catagen, and telogen.

There may be a slight burning sensation; however, the Motus provides one of the most pain-free methods available.

Appropriate skin protection from sun.

Shower the morning of the treatment, do not apply makeup, product or sunscreen to the area.

There may be some slight redness. Burning rarely occurs.

The ideal candidate for laser hair removal is someone who has unwanted hair anywhere on their body that they would like to remove. The best combination and most successful treatments occur on clients with light skin and dark hair. The laser requires a contrast between the light skin and dark hair to be effective. Clients with light or white hair (often termed Lanuga) will have very few results if any.
