You have spent years shaving, waxing, and dealing with ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal gives you a permanent reduction in unwanted hair with a treatment that is fast, comfortable, and safe for every skin tone.
At Posh Medical Spa, we use the Motus AZ by DEKA, one of the most advanced laser hair removal systems available today. What sets the Motus apart from other lasers is its proprietary Moveo technology, which delivers energy to the hair follicle through continuous, gliding movements rather than the traditional single-pulse method.
This matters because it eliminates the sharp, snapping sensation that most people associate with laser hair removal. The Motus uses a cooled sapphire tip that stays in constant contact with the skin, gradually heating the follicle while keeping the surrounding tissue cool and protected. The result is a treatment that is genuinely comfortable from start to finish.
The Motus AZ pairs the two gold-standard wavelengths in laser hair removal: Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm). The Alexandrite wavelength is the most effective option available for targeting hair pigment in lighter skin. The Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates more deeply and is the safest, most reliable option for medium and darker skin tones.
Many older laser systems offer only one of these wavelengths, which limits who can be treated safely and effectively. By combining both into a single platform, the Motus allows us to match the wavelength precisely to your skin tone and hair characteristics. Every patient receives a customized treatment that prioritizes both results and safety.
We were trained on the Motus platform by the team at the
Institute of Laser Medicine,
where Tricia previously served as faculty.
Laser hair removal with the Motus is available for nearly every area of the body, including the face, upper lip, chin, sideburns, neck, underarms, arms, bikini area, legs, back, chest, abdomen, and hands. Whether you are looking for complete removal of a large area or targeted treatment of a smaller zone, we customize every session to your goals.
Your first visit includes a skin and hair assessment to determine the best treatment approach for your skin type, hair color, and the area being treated. We will discuss how many sessions to expect, what the treatment feels like, and how to prepare.
The Motus handpiece glides across the skin in smooth, continuous movements. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth. Smaller areas like the upper lip can be treated in under five minutes. Larger areas like full legs or the back take longer but remain comfortable throughout. No topical numbing is needed.
You can return to your normal activities immediately. There is no downtime. You may notice mild redness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours. Treated hairs will shed gradually over the following two to three weeks.
Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase. Because only a percentage of your hair is in this phase at any given time, a series of treatments is required for full results. Most patients achieve optimal reduction in six to eight sessions, spaced four to eight weeks apart depending on the area being treated.
We track your progress at each visit and adjust settings as needed to maximize results. Some patients may benefit from occasional maintenance sessions after completing their initial series.
The Motus is engineered for comfort. Its Moveo technology and cooled sapphire tip eliminate the sharp snapping sensation associated with other lasers. Most patients describe the feeling as a gentle warmth. No topical numbing is needed.
Session length depends on the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip or underarms take five to ten minutes. Larger areas like full legs or the back may take 30 to 60 minutes.
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction. After a full series of treatments, most patients experience an 80 to 90 percent reduction in hair growth. Some fine or light hairs may persist, and occasional maintenance sessions can address any regrowth over time.
Yes. The Motus AZ includes the Nd:YAG (1064nm) wavelength, which is widely considered the safest and most effective option for treating medium and darker skin tones. We tailor the wavelength and settings to your individual skin during your consultation.
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. We offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry to help make treatment accessible.
