Laser Hair Reduction

in Athens, Georgia

Laser hair reduction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures nationwide. At The Moore Center Med Spa in Athens, Georgia, we use the advanced Motus AZ technology, featuring a cooled sapphire tip for a pain-free and premium patient experience.

WHAT IS LASER HAIR REDUCTION?

Laser hair reduction is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth.
It’s an ideal solution for those looking to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair from various parts of the body. The procedure is safe, effective, and suitable for all skin types.

THE MOTUS AZ TECHNOLOGY

The Motus AZ system is at the forefront of laser hair removal technology. This device uses a specialized moveo delivery system, which translates to “move” in Italian. The moveo technology allows for a pain-free experience by gradually heating the hair follicles and surrounding tissue, which prevents discomfort during treatment.  The cooled sapphire tip further enhances patient comfort by cooling the skin on contact.

THE BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REDUCTION

Laser hair reduction offers numerous benefits over traditional hair reduction methods:

  • Long-Lasting Results: Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair reduction provides long-lasting results, reducing hair growth significantly after a series of treatments.
  • Precision: Lasers can target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
  • Speed: Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs simultaneously. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, like the back or legs, may take up to an hour.
  • Predictability: Most patients have hair reduction after an average of 6-8 sessions.

PRE-TREATMENT PREPARATION

Before your first session, you’ll have a consultation with one of our Licensed Assistant Cosmetic Laser Practitioners to discuss your goals and determine the best treatment plan for you. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least six weeks before treatment, as tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects. Contact us today for a consultation and discover how our laser hair reduction services can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

DURING THE PROCEDURE

  • Consultation: A thorough consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and examine the areas to be treated.
  • Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
  • Laser Application: Using the Motus AZ system, the laser will be applied to the targeted areas. The cooled sapphire tip will cool the skin as the laser heats the hair follicles, making the process comfortable.
  • Duration: The time required for the procedure depends on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas like the upper lip can be done in a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take up to an hour.

POST-TREATMENT CARE

After your session, you may experience some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on treated areas. You should also avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
