Laser Hair Reduction
Painless Laser Hair Removal for All Skin Types in Panama City, Florida
Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal
One of the revolutionary aspects of our hair removal laser is the ability to offer "Skinclusive" Alexandrite laser hair removal technology to patients with ALL skin tones from light to dark.
Practitioners no longer need to settle for Nd:YAG or diode lasers for hair removal on patients with dark skin. With the Motus laser device, our patients can achieve optimal laser hair removal clearance in fewer treatment sessions.
How Many Motus Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?
Because hair grows in cycles, the total number of treatment sessions required to completely eliminate hair depends on the individual and their cosmetic goals. Because of how effective Motus Laser Hair Removal is compared to traditional laser hair removal methods, most patients generally need fewer sessions in their initial treatment package and can wait longer before requiring a touch–up session.
Preparing for Motus Laser Hair Removal
Before your Motus Laser Hair Removal treatment, you will come in for an initial consultation with a dedicated specialist to discuss your cosmetic goals and determine if you are a good candidate for this permanent hair removal method. Your provider will review your complete medical history including any prior cosmetic procedures and hair removal treatments, as well as any scarring, skin conditions, and medications.
To ensure a successful outcome for your Motus Laser Hair Removal, it’s also important to ensure you follow these guidelines:
AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT BEFORE MOTUS
In the two weeks prior to your Motus Laser Hair Removal treatment, avoid unnecessary sun exposure whenever possible. In addition, while we always recommend wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, it’s especially important leading up to a Motus treatment. Even if you’re only treating your back or chest, you should still apply sunscreen to these areas as clothing does not provide 100% protection from ultraviolet radiation.
DON’T PLUCK, WAX, OR DO ELECTROLYSIS BEFORE MOTUS
It’s also important that you do not use other hair removal methods in the month leading up to your Motus Laser Hair Removal appointment. This includes plucking, waxing, and electrolysis as it can affect the results of your treatment. However, we recommend that you shave the treatment area one or two days before your treatment as it removes hair above the skin and while keeping the underlying shaft intact.
DON’T TAKE BLOOD-THINNING MEDICATIONS BEFORE MOTUS
It’s important to avoid blood-thinning medications in the week leading up to your Motus Laser Hair Removal treatment. Blood-thinning medications include prescription MAOIs, over-the-counter NSAIDs, and some nutritional supplements. Your specialist will review all your current medications during your initial consultation to determine what you should discontinue taking to ensure optimal results.
AFTERCARE FOLLOWING MOTUS LASER HAIR REMOVAL
You can resume your normal activities immediately after your treatment, but it’s critical that you avoid sun exposure—including tanning beds with harmful UV rays—for at least three weeks following your treatment.
