Painless Laser Hair Removal

What Is the Motus AY?

Motus AY with MOVEO is a unique laser technology that safely and effectively treats a variety of skin and hair types for laser hair removal. The perfect combination of two different wavelengths allows for the comfortable treatment of all skin tones, making this a game changer for our clients with darker skin. It is also effective on fine and light hair, although not grey, blond or red, whereas most lasers are only effective for dark hair.

Why is the MOVEO technology such a breakthrough in Comfort?

Moveo technology uses simple, continuous movements over a small area, gradually delivering the required dosage of energy to destroy the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. The cooled sapphire tip on the Motus AY makes treatments safe and completely comfortable for the patient.

Most laser systems require a spacer between the energy source and the skin and deliver the energy through the air. These devices emit energy that is largely reflected or refracted by the skin thus reducing the energy available for therapeutic purposes. The unique Moveo handpiece was designed to solve this problem. The sapphire tip and contact cooling handpiece glides directly on the skin, enabling nearly 100% energy absorption. The result is double the energy transfer compared to other laser devices.

How Could I Benefit from this Laser?

Motus AY is an exciting choice for laser hair removal. This cutting-edge technology allows for rapid but effective treatment sessions. While the length of a session varies based on the treatment area, this unique laser allows for quick treatment of larger areas. With no set downtime associated with this treatment, you could be right back to relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Kauai.

The laser hair removal process with Motus AY is performed by continuous motions that allow for gradual heating. For your additional comfort, this technology features a cooling system, ensuring your treatment is comfortable and as painless as possible. This cooling technology also helps reduce any side effects, but the feeling of a mild sunburn may occur.

The unique laser wavelengths and treatment application of the Motus AY help create long-lasting results. However, it is important to have realistic goals for treatment. Results will vary for each person and treatment area.

Lasers can eradicate hair all over the body, but the comfort, speed and effectiveness of this device has made the Brazilian and Bikini procedures the most popular for our Kauai clients. Wherever you choose to treat, achieving permanent hair reduction—emphasis on the word reduction, since nothing will eliminate every single hair—typically requires four to six treatments. Since body hair has several cycles of growth, we expect a fantastic result by spacing your treatments 4-6 weeks apart. After a complete round of laser treatments, some maintenance may be required (usually annual pre-summer touch-ups), but we expect between 60% and 90% of hair will be gone.

Am I a Good Candidate?

One of the most amazing aspects of the Motus AY is it is safe and effective for all skin tones. However, the laser does not effectively treat grey, white, blond or red hair. Many laser options only effectively treat lighter skin tones and darker hair colors, but the Motus AY allows us to treat darker complexions safely!

Motus AY allows practitioners to deliver precise and personalized treatments. A consultation with our team at Vitality Kauai will help develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique skin, hair, and goals. Pursuing laser hair removal with this laser typically requires fewer and shorter treatment options than necessary for other lasers, but a series of treatments is usually needed to achieve and maintain the best results.

What to do before and after your laser hair removal appointment

Abstain from waxing, threading, or plucking for a month in advance of your first session; it’s important to have the hair bulb at the base of the follicle intact so the laser can target its melanin. It is also important to avoid direct sun exposure for a couple weeks prior to treatment as well. You will need to be freshly shaved the day of the appointment. The day of, avoid using oils or lotions on the area to be treated, you want as clean a surface as possible. After your session, treated skin may look red, but there’s no real downtime. Post-treatment care is easy: Avoid direct sun exposure, hot tubs, saunas for a few days, and use gentle products (no retinols or acids), to avoid skin irritation. Typically within a week, hair will begin to fall out—and with just a few more rounds, you’ll be practically hairless for the foreseeable future.
