Laser hair removal is currently one of the most popular body hair removal methods. But it has several drawbacks – for some, the procedure is more than painful, and after it you can not bask in the sun, so as not to cause the development of pigmentation. There are generally two types of lasers – diode (works better on dark skin and light hair) and alexandrite (works better on fair skin and dark hair).
Not so long ago, there was a resupply in the laser world. Now everyone is talking about the new Moveo technology, in which you can sunbathe and the procedure is painless. Really? We asked the laser hair removal master of the Est.Epil network basic questions about the new technology.

What’s new with the Moveo alexandrite laser?
The innovation of the Italian DEKA MOTUS AX device lies in the patented MOVEO technology. In simple terms, this is the first system that makes it possible to deliver the flash power not immediately, but in parts, which allows the epidermis not to overheat. Moreover, this is the only alexandrite laser that works not only in the stamp method, but also in dynamics, allowing you to perform procedures faster than usual.
How is it different from traditional alexandrite laser?
The main differences between a Moveo technology laser and a conventional alexandrite laser are as follows:
– works both dynamically on gel and with flakes;
– epilation can be done both before and after tanning (if there is no burn);
– painless;
– power and wavelength are exactly the same as conventional devices.
Is the efficiency of the Moveo laser different?
It is not inferior to conventional devices in terms of efficiency, and thanks to the improved cooling system, it allows you to perform the operation at higher powers. This makes it possible to reduce the number of sessions and increase efficiency.
Is the Moveo laser painful?
Yes. It is completely painless thanks to the contact cooling system.
Are there any differences in the procedure with the Moveo laser?
The procedure at DEKA is similar to diode hair removal as the device can work on a gel. If you are epilating with Moveo (not flakes), unlike classic alexandrite, you need to shave 12 hours before the procedure and come up with smooth skin.
Can the Moveo laser also be used on tanned skin?
Yes like that. We personally tried to epilate right after tanning, it really works.
Are there any contraindications for the Moveo laser?
There are no unique contraindications, everything is standard here: most skin diseases, pregnancy and lactation, wounds on the surface of the skin, etc.
Which phototypes are most suitable for the Moveo laser?
It works for anyone from skin 1 to skin phototype 6.
What type of hair does the Moveo laser remove best?
Like any laser, it works best on dark hair with a lot of melanin, but works well on light hair as well due to its high power. It also works with red hair, unlike a diode.
Is the price of the service on the new laser different?
Yes. Compared to a diode laser, the alexandrite Moveo costs about twice as much. This is because the DEKA device costs more than $100,000.
