Is it not possible to get Motus LHR treatment on tanned skin?

Question

I have heard that LHR cannot be performed over recently sun exposed skin.

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. It really isn't a great idea to get a Motus treatment on skin that has been exposed to the sun.  I advise my patients to wait a minimum of 2 weeks after being exposed to the sun in order to get the best results possible.  Best wishes to you.

The Motus AX is a fantastic laser hair removal device that can treat any skin type at the proper settings by an experienced and licensed professional, but just like any laser, it is not recommended to perform the treatment skin that has recently been exposed to the sun. Patients should wait at least 2 weeks after sun exposure to have laser hair removal done. We always advise our patients to avoid sun direct sun at least two week prior and two weeks following their Motus AX laser hair removal treatment. This will ensure a safe and effective treatment.
