How It Works

How the Laser Works

Our Motus AY laser uses Moveo™ continuous-motion technology to deliver light energy into the melanin of each hair follicle, gradually heating and disabling future growth at the root. Unlike traditional lasers that stamp high-energy pulses one spot at a time, the Motus AY glides across the skin in smooth passes — building heat gradually so the follicle is destroyed without the sharp sensation associated with older systems. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to target every follicle during its active phase.

The Motus AY's sapphire cooling tip maintains continuous contact cooling throughout treatment, keeping the skin surface comfortable while the energy targets the follicle beneath. The result is a genuinely pain-free experience — patients consistently describe it as gentle warmth, not the "rubber band snap" associated with traditional lasers.

The laser safely accommodates all skin types and complexions, including dark skin tones — whether you're treating coarse body hair, hormonal facial hair, or chronic ingrowns.

Moveo™ continuous-motion delivery and sapphire cooling make the treatment genuinely pain-free — just gentle warmth, even in sensitive areas like the bikini zone and upper lip.

Who It's For

Skin Concerns We Treat

Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs occur when shaved or waxed hair curls back into the skin, causing painful, inflamed bumps. Laser hair removal eliminates the problem at the source by disabling the follicle so there's no hair left to become trapped. It's one of the most effective long-term solutions, especially in the bikini area and along the neck. If ingrowns have left behind dark marks, a chemical peel can help fade them.

Razor Burn & Irritation

Chronic razor burn — redness, bumps, and sensitivity after shaving — is a sign that your skin reacts poorly to repeated blade contact. Laser hair removal reduces hair growth so you can stop the cycle of shaving altogether. It's especially effective on the underarms, legs, and bikini line where irritation tends to be worst. For existing redness or irritation, our skin redness treatments can provide relief.

Excessive Hair Growth

Some patients deal with faster or denser hair growth — often hormonal — that makes daily shaving feel mandatory. Laser hair removal reduces hair density and growth rate over a series of sessions, so you spend less time managing unwanted hair. Common areas include the full face, chin, upper lip, and sideburns. For patients also considering facial rejuvenation, dermaplaning pairs well between laser sessions.

Post-Shaving Hyperpigmentation

Repeated shaving causes friction and micro-trauma that can lead to dark spots, especially in patients with deeper skin tones. By eliminating the need to shave, laser hair removal prevents new pigmentation from forming. For existing dark spots in the bikini line or underarm area, our intimate lightening treatment or hyperpigmentation treatments can help.

Rough Skin Texture

Frequent shaving and waxing can leave skin feeling rough, bumpy, or textured — especially on the legs, arms, and bikini area. Laser hair removal smooths the skin by removing the stubble and irritation cycle entirely. For additional texture improvement, microneedling stimulates collagen to resurface uneven skin.

Time Spent on Hair Removal

Many patients simply want to stop spending time on daily shaving or monthly waxing appointments. A series of 6–8 laser sessions produces lasting hair reduction, meaning you no longer need to plan around hair removal. It's a practical investment that saves time long-term. Learn more about how sessions are spaced and what to expect on our laser hair removal page.

Your Appointment

What to Expect

Pre-Treatment Prep
Shave the treatment area the evening before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, waxing, and plucking for at least two weeks prior. The hair root must be intact for the laser to target it.
1
Shave night before
Laser Treatment
Your provider glides the Motus AY handpiece over the treatment area in smooth, continuous passes. Unlike traditional lasers that pulse one spot at a time, the Moveo™ technology delivers energy gradually across repeated passes with sapphire cooling throughout. You'll feel gentle warmth — no pain, no numbing cream needed.
2
5–60 min depending on area
Immediately After
Mild redness or warmth is normal and typically resolves within a few hours. No downtime is required — you can return to your normal routine immediately. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and direct sun for 24–48 hours.
3
No downtime
Hair Shedding Phase
Over the next 1–3 weeks, treated hairs will shed naturally. This is not new growth — it's the disabled follicles releasing the hair. You may notice what looks like stubble pushing out; this is normal and expected.
4
1–3 weeks post-session
Next Session
Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart to align with your hair's growth cycle. Each session targets follicles that have entered their active growth phase since the previous treatment. Most patients complete 6–8 sessions total.
5
Progressive reduction

Post-Treatment Tips

You may shave between appointments, but do not wax, tweeze, or use depilatory creams — these remove the hair root that the laser needs to target. Apply SPF 30+ to any treated areas exposed to the sun. For full guidance, visit our post-care instructions.

How They Compare

Laser Hair Removal vs. Waxing

Both methods remove unwanted hair, but they work in fundamentally different ways and produce very different long-term outcomes. Here's how they compare.

Laser Hair Removal
Waxing
Mechanism
Light energy disables the hair follicle at the root, preventing future regrowth
Pulls hair from the root; follicle remains active and regrows within 3–6 weeks
Best For
Long-term hair reduction on face, body, and intimate areas — any area you shave or wax regularly
Temporary smoothness; requires ongoing appointments every 4–6 weeks indefinitely
Skin Tones
Safe for all skin tones including Fitzpatrick IV–VI with the Motus AY's dual-wavelength platform
Works on all skin tones but can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker tones
Downtime
None — mild redness resolves within hours; return to normal activity immediately
Redness, bumps, and sensitivity for 24–48 hours; ingrown hairs common
Starting Price
$100/session (small areas); lasting reduction means cost decreases over time
$30–$100/session; recurring cost every month adds up significantly over time

For patients who have been waxing for years and want to stop the cycle, laser hair removal is the most effective path to lasting reduction. It also eliminates the ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation that waxing can cause over time. Your provider will confirm the right approach for your skin and hair type during your consultation.

FAQ

Common
Questions

What to know before booking laser hair removal at ELLEMES.

Consultation at ELLEMES
What is laser hair removal and how does it work?

The Motus AY laser uses Moveo™ continuous-motion technology to gradually heat and disable hair follicles at the root, reducing future regrowth. Its dual-wavelength platform and sapphire cooling make the treatment pain-free — just gentle warmth.

Is it safe for dark skin tones?

Yes. The Motus AY features dual wavelengths (Alexandrite 755nm + Nd:YAG 1064nm) that allow your provider to select the optimal approach for your skin tone. Its Moveo™ continuous-motion delivery eliminates the peak-energy spikes that caused burns and pigment damage with older systems — making it safe across the full Fitzpatrick spectrum.

How many sessions do I need?

Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to catch every follicle in its active growth phase. Typically 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended for lasting reduction.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients find it comfortable. The laser features a continuous cooling system that chills the skin on contact. Most describe the sensation as a gentle warmth.

Can it help with ingrown hairs?

Yes — this is one of the primary benefits. By disabling the hair follicle at the root, laser hair removal addresses the underlying cause of ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Shave the treatment area the night before. Avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, waxing, or plucking in the area for at least two weeks prior.

How long does a session take?

It depends on the area. Small areas like the upper lip take under 5 minutes. Larger areas like full back or full legs can take 45–60 minutes.
