What is the Motus AZ+?
The Motus AZ+ is a dual wavelength laser platform built by DEKA. The alexandrite wavelength is strongly absorbed by pigment, which makes it well suited to sun spots, age spots, and other benign pigmented lesions. The Nd:YAG wavelength travels deeper and is absorbed by hemoglobin, which is what makes it useful for redness and visible vessels. What sets the system apart is how that energy is delivered. Rather than stamping single high fluence pulses, the handpiece is kept in constant motion across a small treatment zone while delivering many low energy pulses through a cooled tip in contact with your skin. That contact cooling and the gradual energy build are why the treatment is tolerated well by most patients without numbing cream, and why it can be used safely across a much wider range of skin tones.
Benefits of Motus AZ+ treatment
- Safe Across All Skin Tones: Cleared for Fitzpatrick skin types one through six including tanned skin, which opens up laser treatment to patients who were previously turned away.
- Comfortable Without Numbing: The in motion technique with contact cooling means most patients feel warmth rather than the snapping sensation associated with traditional lasers.
- Two Wavelengths in One Treatment: Pigment and vascular concerns can be addressed in the same session rather than requiring separate devices and separate visits.
- Little to No Downtime: Most patients leave with mild redness that settles within hours and return to normal activity the same day.
- Efficient Sessions: The continuous motion technique covers treatment areas quickly, which keeps appointment times reasonable.
Conditions treated with Motus AZ+
- Benign Pigmented Lesions: Sun spots, age spots, and similar pigmentation that has developed from years of accumulated sun exposure.
- Facial Redness and Vascular Concerns: Broken capillaries, spider veins, and general redness including the flushing associated with rosacea.
- Wrinkles: Fine lines and early signs of aging, which the system is specifically cleared to treat.
- Uneven Skin Tone and Texture: Overall dullness and irregularity that has not improved with topical products alone.
- Unwanted Hair: Both wavelengths are cleared for hair reduction, including on skin tones that are difficult to treat with other platforms.
Motus AZ+ in Greenwood, IN
Most patients see the best results from a short series rather than one appointment, commonly three to six sessions spaced a few weeks apart depending on what is being treated. Your provider at Evexia Spa and Wellness will assess your skin, explain what the laser can realistically improve, and build a plan around it. If you have been told before that your skin tone ruled out laser treatment, this is worth a conversation.
