Motus Pro Laser

Tired of Shaving, Waxing, and Ingrown Hairs?

Between hiking the Boise foothills, floating the river, or just getting ready for another Treasure Valley summer, unwanted hair can feel like a constant chore. Shaving irritates the skin, waxing hurts, and ingrown hairs seem to show up right before every event on the calendar.

If you have tried other hair removal methods and been disappointed by discomfort, inconsistent results, or limited options for your skin tone, you are not alone. Many patients come to us after years of frustration looking for a more comfortable, more reliable solution.

What Is the Motus Pro Laser?

The Motus Pro is an advanced laser system used for hair reduction, designed with patient comfort as a priority. It uses a moving handpiece technology that delivers laser energy in a gentler, more continuous way than many older laser systems.

• Uses laser energy to target hair follicles at the root
• Moveo technology moves the laser continuously across the skin rather than pulsing in one spot
• Designed to be well-tolerated with minimal discomfort compared to traditional laser hair removal devices
• Can be used on a wide range of skin tones
• Suitable for treating the face, underarms, legs, back, bikini area, and other common treatment areas
• Performed in-office at either of our two Treasure Valley locations

What to Expect During Treatment

• Consultation first: Your provider will review your skin type, hair color and texture, and treatment goals before recommending a care plan
• Session length: Treatment times vary by area, from a few minutes for smaller areas like the upper lip to 30 to 60 minutes for larger areas like the legs or back
• Sensation: Most patients describe the treatment as well-tolerated, often compared to a warm massage rather than a sharp pinch
• Downtime: Little to no downtime is typical, so many patients return to normal activities the same day
• Series of sessions: Because hair grows in cycles, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is generally recommended for the best long-term reduction
• Sun protection: Given Idaho's high-altitude UV exposure, your provider will discuss sun protection between sessions to protect treated skin

What Results Can I Expect?

Many patients notice a reduction in hair growth after their first few sessions, with continued improvement as the treatment series progresses. Individual results vary based on hair color, skin tone, hormonal factors, and the area being treated.

• Most patients complete a series of several sessions spaced weeks apart for noticeable, longer-lasting reduction
• Maintenance sessions may be recommended over time to manage any regrowth
• Coarser, darker hair typically responds better than very fine or light-colored hair
• Your provider will set realistic expectations for your specific hair type and treatment area at your consultation

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Adults who are frustrated with shaving, waxing, or plucking as a long-term hair removal solution
• Patients dealing with ingrown hairs or razor irritation, especially in sensitive areas
• Those with a wide range of skin tones looking for an option that can be safely tailored to their skin
• Patients preparing for a busy Idaho summer of hiking, boating, or outdoor activities and wanting a low-maintenance option
• Anyone who has tried other laser hair removal treatments and found them too uncomfortable or inconsistent
• Teens and adults alike, following an initial consultation to confirm candidacy

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients need a series of sessions, often six or more, spaced several weeks apart to allow for the natural hair growth cycle. Your provider will recommend a specific number based on the treatment area, hair color, and skin tone during your consultation.

Does the Motus Pro laser hurt?

Most patients describe the Motus Pro as well-tolerated with minimal discomfort compared to older laser hair removal devices. The moving handpiece technology is designed to distribute energy more evenly, which many patients find more comfortable than traditional pulsed lasers.

Can this treatment be used on darker skin tones?

The Motus Pro is designed to treat a wide range of skin tones safely. Your provider will evaluate your skin type during your consultation to confirm candidacy and select the appropriate settings for your treatment.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

Little to no downtime is typical after a Motus Pro session. Some patients notice mild redness or warmth in the treated area for a short time afterward, and most return to normal activities right away.

How soon will I see results?

Many patients notice some reduction in hair growth after the first couple of sessions, with more noticeable results as the treatment series continues. Because hair grows in different cycles, a full series is generally needed to see the most consistent, longer-lasting reduction.
