Effective for Light and Dark Skin

One of the greatest advantages of the Motus AY laser facial is that it’s equally effective on light and dark skin types. Most traditional lasers are effective when darkly-pigmented hair follicles are set against minimally-pigmented or light skin because the laser focuses on the difference in contrast, with the pigment in the hair follicles absorbing the laser energy and effectively destroying the hair. However, individuals with less contrast between their skin and hair — or those with darker skin types — have had to settle for less effective treatments. Motus AY overcomes that limitation.

How Does Motus AY Laser Facial Work?

The Motus AY laser facial device is based on proprietary Moveo technology. The Moveo handheld device gradually heats the vital regions of the hair with small back-and-forth movements, delivering just enough heat to affect the hair follicles without burning surrounding skin tissues. As the cool sapphire tip of the device moves back and forth, it destroys the hair follicles, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, superficial leg veins, and other such cosmetic anomalies.

What to Expect During a Laser Facial

Laser facial treatments with the Motus AY are incredibly effective. We will cleanse your skin and provide eye protection before the procedure begins. The handheld device moves quickly across the skin, delivering laser pulses as it goes. The Moveo technology used by Motus AY completely eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional laser treatments. Even though the Motus AY procedure involves delivering thermal energy to your skin and hair follicles, it does so gradually to eliminate the “rubber-band” effect caused by most laser treatments. You may even feel a slight cooling sensation because of the sapphire tip of the device.

With traditional laser treatments, about five sessions are needed for optimal results, followed by regular maintenance sessions. However, the Motus AY laser facial is far more effective and requires only three to six sessions to see optimal results.

Downtime and Results

Depending on what the laser is focusing on, you may experience slightly red skin for a few hours, or even a day. You may also feel a slight sunburn sensation. Pigmented areas that were treated will at first become darker over the course of two days, and then will slough off in the next week or so. Vascular lesions will fade. 

We will give you home care instructions to help you heal smoothly and get the best results possible. Your specific results will be determined by your skin type and your unique skin concerns. 

How Much Does a Laser Facial Cost in Charlotte?

The laser facial with Motus AY at Surface Medspa starts at $250. Because results build over a series of treatments, your total depends on how many sessions you choose. Our team recommends a plan suited to brightening and refreshing your complexion.

How is the Motus AY laser facial different from laser hair removal?

Both treatments use the same Motus AY device, but they are calibrated for different purposes. Laser hair removal targets follicles specifically to prevent regrowth, while the laser facial is configured to address pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and small leg veins. The approach, settings, and intended outcomes are distinct even though the technology is the same.

How long does each session take?

Session time varies based on the size and number of areas being treated, but most appointments run between 30 and 60 minutes. Your provider can give you a more precise estimate once a treatment plan has been defined.

What should I avoid before my appointment?

Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before treatment. Retinoids and aggressive exfoliants should be paused a few days in advance. Arrive with clean skin and no active sunburn or irritation in the area to be treated.

How long do the results last?

Results can last many months, though this varies by the concern being treated. Vascular lesions that fade fully do not typically return to the same spot, but new ones can develop with continued sun exposure over time. Maintenance sessions and consistent SPF use are the most effective ways to protect and extend your results.

Can the Motus AY treat areas beyond the face?

The device can address pigmented and vascular concerns on other parts of the body, including the legs and arms. Small visible leg veins are a common non-facial concern well-suited to this technology.

Can the Motus AY laser facial be combined with other treatments?

The laser facial pairs well with a broader skincare regimen that includes treatments like chemical peels, HydraFacial, or injectables. Your provider will advise on sequencing to get the most from each treatment without stressing the skin.

Is a patch test required before treatment?

A patch test is not always required, but a thorough skin assessment before your first session is essential. Your provider will evaluate your skin tone, any active conditions, and your treatment goals to determine the most appropriate settings before proceeding.
