Laser hair removal is an efficient, safe way to permanently reduce unwanted body hair on any area of the body, far faster than waxing.
As opposed to traditional shaving, laser hair removal doesn’t cause any pain; however, it is recommended to shave the area prior to scheduling an appointment.
Prior to your appointment, it is advisable to avoid using any depilatory creams, plucking, waxing or tweezing techniques as laser light is attracted by pigment in hair and will therefore only work effectively on those containing pigmented hair strands.
Motus AY
The Motus AY by DEKA is an in-motion Alexandrite laser designed to safely and efficiently remove hair for all skin types. With its innovative contact cooling system and unique design that reduces discomfort during treatment, making treatments quick, efficient, and nearly painless. Furthermore, its revolutionary high speed technology delivers long lasting results in less treatments for both light and dark skin tones.
Traditional laser systems use visible and infrared wavelengths that reflect off the skin, leaving only a fraction of energy available for therapeutic purposes. But Motus AY’s unique Moveo handpiece was specifically created to address this problem by repeatedly passing over target area (known as pulsed scanning). By doing this, energy is dispersed evenly and efficiently between hair follicles for greater clinical efficacy with faster treatment times.
Laser hair removal offers an effective alternative to shaving or waxing by targeting melanin (pigment) within hair follicles to permanently reduce hair growth without harming surrounding tissue. Suitable for men and women alike who are tired of struggling with ingrown hairs, razor burn or ingrowns in between visits, laser treatment can be performed on facial, underarms legs bikini lines.
Laser hair removal regimens usually consist of six to eight sessions spaced out one month apart for maximum effectiveness. Once this goal has been reached, ongoing treatments should be scheduled every 6-8 weeks to reduce future growth of unwanted hair.

Prior to treatment, patients are asked not to wax or pluck hairs in the area being treated and to apply a topical anesthetic gel prior to make your experience more comfortable.
GentleLASE system uses laser light that penetrates through the top layers of skin to reach melanin in hair follicles, where it absorbs laser energy and converts it to heat, effectively disabling them and stopping future hair growth. Furthermore, its Dynamic Cooling Device sprays your skin continuously with bursts of cryogen to shield against laser exposure and maximize comfort levels for you and ensure optimal treatment results.
GentleLASE system can also be used for laser hair removal and treatment of other cosmetic conditions, including pigmented lesions, birthmarks, hemangiomas (bright-red nodules), spider veins, age spots and sun-damaged skin.

In addition to hair removal, this device also eliminates vascular lesions and pigmented lesions for long-lasting results that are safe for all ages.
At the outset of your treatment, a cooling gel will be applied to protect and comfort the area being treated. Once this step has been completed, we’ll begin your laser session utilizing the GentleMax Pro which sends bursts of laser energy directly into each hair follicle until thermal energy destroys them so they cannot regrow again – yet still remains gentle enough for all skin types.
Laser hair removal can be used to safely and quickly eliminate unwanted hair from any part of the body, including face, legs, arms, and back. Additionally, this process is relatively pain-free and takes minutes instead of hours like waxing or shaving would.
At times, your treatment may produce a slight stinging feeling during and after it, however it should not be painful. This is caused by laser heat being absorbed by hair follicles and stimulating skin cell regeneration. A cooling mechanism built into the GentleMax Pro offers consistent bursts of protective cryogen for safe treatment that should help avoid burns or overtreatment.
After your treatment, it is common to experience temporary redness in the treatment area that lasts anywhere from minutes to several hours afterward. To minimize its duration and reduce redness further, be sure to keep out of direct sunlight after each treatment and regularly apply sunscreen. In addition, avoid products like retinol or glycolic acid which could exacerbate it further.
