Motus Pro Laser

Tired of Shaving, Waxing, and Ingrown Hairs?

Between hiking the Boise Foothills, floating the river, and Idaho's short but intense summer season, many patients want smoother skin without the constant upkeep of shaving or waxing. Traditional laser hair removal can also be uncomfortable or less effective on darker skin tones, which leaves a lot of patients hesitant to try it.

The Motus Pro laser was designed to solve both problems, offering a well-tolerated treatment experience that works across a wide range of skin types.

What Is the Motus Pro Laser?

Motus Pro is an advanced laser hair removal platform that uses moving pulse technology to deliver consistent energy across the treatment area. Instead of pulsing in one spot, the handpiece glides continuously over the skin, which many patients find far more comfortable than traditional laser hair removal devices.

• Uses a Nd:YAG laser wavelength, considered safe and effective for a broad range of skin tones, including deeper skin types
• Moving pulse technology (MPX) spreads energy evenly, reducing hot spots and minimizing discomfort
• Can treat the face, underarms, legs, back, bikini area, and other common areas of unwanted hair
• Targets the hair follicle to reduce hair growth over a series of sessions
• Suitable for both men and women

What to Expect During Treatment

• A brief consultation to review your skin type, hair color and thickness, and treatment goals
• Treatment areas are cleansed and the laser handpiece is glided smoothly across the skin
• Most sessions take between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the size of the area treated
• Many patients describe the sensation as mild warmth, with minimal discomfort compared to older laser technology
• No topical anesthetic is typically required
• Little to no downtime, most patients return to normal activities the same day
• A series of sessions, usually spaced four to eight weeks apart, is recommended for lasting hair reduction

What Results Can Patients Expect?

Hair grows in cycles, so a single session will not treat every follicle. Most patients need a series of treatments to target hair at different growth stages.

• Many patients notice progressively finer, sparser hair growth after several sessions
• A typical care plan involves six or more sessions for best results, though this varies by area and hair type
• Maintenance sessions once or twice a year can help sustain results over time
• Results vary based on hair color, skin tone, hormonal factors, and treatment area

Who Is a Good Candidate for Motus Pro?

• Adults who are frustrated with the constant cycle of shaving, waxing, or tweezing
• Patients with darker skin tones who have been told they weren't good candidates for other laser hair removal devices
• Anyone dealing with ingrown hairs or razor bumps in areas like the bikini line, underarms, or beard area
• Patients preparing for a wedding, vacation, or Idaho's outdoor summer season who want less maintenance
• Those looking for a well-tolerated alternative to more painful hair removal methods
• Generally recommended for teens and adults with unwanted hair growth, following an initial consultation

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Motus Pro laser hair removal uncomfortable?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth rather than a sharp or stinging feeling associated with older laser devices. The moving pulse technology spreads the energy more evenly, which many patients find well-tolerated even in sensitive areas.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients need a series of treatments, often six or more sessions spaced several weeks apart, to address hair in different growth cycles. Your provider will outline a care plan tailored to your hair type, skin tone, and treatment area during your consultation.

Is Motus Pro safe for darker skin tones?

Yes, the Nd:YAG wavelength used in the Motus Pro is well suited for a wide range of skin tones, including deeper skin types that are not always good candidates for other laser hair removal technology. Your provider will assess your skin type during consultation to confirm you're a good candidate.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

Most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Some mild redness or warmth in the treated area is common and typically resolves within a few hours.
