If there is a need to eliminate unnecessary vegetation from the face and body, it is unlikely that anyone will deny, there are still fierce debates about methods of elimination. What should it be depilation? First of all, painless, effective, universal! And such a way exists. We talk about dynamic technology laser hair removal Moveo: what is its novelty, why is this method better than the previous ones, and who will it suit.
The path to laser hair removal
Excess body hair has been removed since ancient times - mainly for hygienic and then for aesthetic reasons. To do this, they used sugar paste and wax , with the help of which they pulled out unnecessary growth by the roots. Single hairs were removed using tweezers . Much later the first razors were invented. In the 20th century , new ways to get rid of excess hair appeared, but those who dreamed of smooth skin had to choose between effective, painful and comfortable , but practically useless procedures.
The invention of laser hair removal using selective photothermolysis was a real revolution. And although the first (ruby) lasers were imperfect, over time it was possible to find the ideal wavelength, obtaining it using an alexandrite crystal .
The alexandrite laser has become the gold standard, but it is not without its drawbacks.
For example, this method of removing vegetation is not suitable for all phototypes and is contraindicated if the skin is tanned. And now - a new breakthrough: the emergence of innovative dynamic technology Moveo (from the English move - “movement”) from the Italian company DEKA MOTUS AX MOVEO laser model , which can significantly increase the effectiveness of the procedure, make it more universal and completely eliminate unpleasant sensations.
Today, the absence of body hair has become a hygienic norm. Overgrown armpits, legs and pubis are associated with sloppiness, unkemptness, and look unattractive. Nevertheless, many still limit themselves to depilation (shaving or using creams), despite the obvious disadvantages of such methods, because they are afraid of irritation of the epidermis, ingrown hairs and - especially - pain. However, now a long-awaited method has appeared that combines long-term effects with absolute comfort during hair removal.
How to prepare for hair removal with an alexandrite laser?
The main stage of preparation should be a consultation with a general practitioner. It is important to understand whether there are contraindications for the procedure in your case. It is also necessary to determine the presence of moles, tattoos and scars in the areas of intended hair removal. If there is excess hair growth due to hormonal imbalance, this factor must be eliminated.
Alexandrite laser will work most effectively on untanned skin
, so a few weeks before the procedure you should refrain from visiting the solarium and sunbathing. A few weeks before laser hair removal, waxing and sugaring are contraindicated, but depilatory creams and shaving are not prohibited.
According to reviews from cosmetologists and their patients, alexandrite laser hair removal is the undisputed leader among similar procedures. The main thing is to find a qualified specialist who will help make your dreams come true!
Features of the new technology
The success of dynamic hair removal is due to three factors .
This:
- Powerful alexandrite laser with advanced characteristics;
- Special sapphire tip with built-in cooling system, in contact with the skin;
- The impact is “in motion” close to the skin, and not the traditional “stamp” method.
Let's see how changing these parameters allowed us to improve the procedure.

| Feel | Painful (sensitive) | Absolutely no pain |
| Average time per procedure | 50 minutes | 20 minutes |
| Tanning before and after | It is forbidden | Can |
| Restrictions on skin color (phototype) | Bright skin | From light to darkest |
| Hair color restrictions | Dark hair | Any hair color (light, dark, red) |
| Zone processing speed (10X10) palm | 90 seconds | 60 |
| Preparation | Hair that has grown by 2-3 mm | Smooth shaved skin |
| Possible side effects | Pigmentation, burn, irritation | 100% safety |
| Seasonality | Yes (except summer) | No, hair removal all year round |

Moveo technology is based on an alexandrite laser (standard wavelength 755 nm) with specific characteristics.
This:
- Peak power up to 6000 W ;
- Ultra-short pulse from 3 ms
- Safe energy density level - 2-8 J/cm
- The contact method ensures a minimum coefficient of laser energy loss
- Ability to split one power pulse into two
- The clock frequency of the alexandrite laser has been significantly increased to 10 Hz - which makes the procedure record-breaking fast

How do these characteristics affect the result?
The principle of selective photothermolysis means that the laser beam affects the body unevenly. Depending on the wavelength, it is focused on certain “targets” - chromophores.
Dependence of the absorption (absorption) coefficient on the wavelength of laser radiation for the main chromophores.
In the case of laser hair removal, the melanin pigment found in the hairs acts as such a target.
As a result, under the influence of an alexandrite laser beam, the hairs burn, their follicles die, and the surrounding tissues are not injured.
Operating principle
The operating scheme of the alexandrite laser is referred to as selective photothermolysis. The laser affects only the hair without affecting the adjacent soft tissue. The light pulse is absorbed by melanin (the pigment responsible for color), converted into thermal energy, heats and destroys the hair follicle. It dies at temperatures above 80 degrees; lower values only damage it without preventing further growth of weakened hair.
Operating principle of a laser beam
Tanned skin, like dark hair, contains a certain amount of melanin, so it also absorbs light impulses. When carrying out a procedure with such initial data, the risks of burns and damage to the superficial layers of the dermis increase.
Comparison of the effects of different systems on hair
A – hair before exposure to laser radiation. B – solid-state alexandrite laser 755 nm: hair follicles of thin and thick hair are destroyed: there is an area of perifollicular damage.
B — diode laser 800/810 nm; Only the hair follicles of thicker hair are destroyed; there is an area of perifollicular damage; diffuse overheating of the skin. G-technology " Moveo " destroys hair follicles of thick and thin hair; there is no area of perifollicular damage; there is no diffuse overheating of the skin.
The greater the contrast between the dark hairline and the light epidermis, the more effective is the effect of the alexandrite laser using the conventional, or, as doctors call it, the “stamp” method.
However, if the skin is dark or as a result of sunbathing, then the melanin contained in it also absorbs energy, and this leads to burns and the accompanying pain. For this reason, conventional laser hair removal is not performed on tanned or dark skin. In addition, even those with fair skin sometimes feel some discomfort during the procedure: clinics usually use local anesthesia to reduce discomfort.
Moveo technology has solved this problem and made laser hair removal accessible to everyone. The energy pulses have become shorter and more powerful, and the energy density has been reduced from the standard 20 J to 2-8 J per square centimeter. In addition, it is no coincidence that hair removal is called dynamic: the doctor constantly moves the device’s arm, sliding it over the skin.
Each impulse is divided into several small ones, which cannot harm the skin, but the transmitted energy successfully accumulates in the hairs, destroying them.
When removing hair, the laser flash instantly heats both the epidermis and the hair on it, but the skin cools down much faster.
The frequency, power and duration of pulses during dynamic hair removal are selected in such a way that the hairs do not have time to cool down, and the effect of radiation accumulates (cumulative effect).
The dermis cools down in the intervals between impulses, so its traumatization, and, consequently, unpleasant sensations are completely excluded. The procedure is well suited even for the most sensitive areas, such as a total bikini.
During the procedure there is no need to use painkillers: the effect does not cause the slightest discomfort. You can completely relax. Moveo dynamic hair removal is quite fast.
Thanks to the gradual accumulation of radiation in the hairs, it became possible to reduce the level of energy density. In practice, this means that the new technique is suitable not only for fair-skinned people . Even highly pigmented skin is not damaged - which means that the main drawback of conventional laser hair removal, which was performed only on people of phototypes I-III (white-skinned, pink-skinned, with a slight dark tint), is eliminated. For comparison: hair removal using Moveo is available even to phototype VI .
The method is also suitable if the epidermis is very tanned and the hairs are burnt out: thanks to precisely calculated pauses between laser flashes, the dermis does not overheat, and unnecessary hairs are easily removed.
Dynamic hair removal is carried out with a handpiece with a special sapphire tip, which glides over the skin, additionally cooling it up to 15 degrees .
The material was not chosen by chance: it is wear-resistant, conducts laser radiation well, and is hygienic. Due to direct contact with the skin, laser radiation is completely absorbed without even being partially reflected. As a result, a short course of procedures is sufficient to achieve absolute smoothness of the skin.
The developers of the new DEKA technology managed to resolve the eternal contradiction, making hair removal at the same time as effective and as comfortable as possible.
Popular types of laser systems
The method of using the alexandrite laser has been recreated in many devices. Most often, cosmetologists practice using the following systems:
- Candela GentleLASE. It has a built-in cooling system and a large diameter nozzle (up to 18 mm).
- DEKA, Synchro PLAY. A universal system that includes several types of laser radiation. Used for comprehensive provision of cosmetology services.
- ARION, Quantel Derma. Suitable for large problem areas, it works quickly and efficiently, there is air cooling for the skin.
Benefits of dynamic hair removal
- Suitable for any phototype, including dark-skinned women, who were previously deprived of the opportunity to remove excess growth using a laser. It is especially important that tanning is not a contraindication! If previously those who did not have time to get rid of hair during the cold season had to choose between smooth skin and relaxing on the beach, now they can safely remove hair even immediately after vacation. You can also sunbathe between sessions, as well as after the course;
- Fast. The doctor treats an area the size of a palm (approximately 10 by 10 cm) in one visit. The whole procedure takes a minimum of time. This is the fastest laser hair removal to date;
- Suitable for any hair, including light, vellus, and thin. The only exception is gray hairs, which do not contain melanin;
- Absolutely painless. Previously, even the most delicate methods of eliminating vegetation were still a little uncomfortable - and sometimes in very sensitive areas it was not possible to do without anesthetic creams. Dynamic hair removal does not cause any discomfort - great news for those who are allergic to painkillers or have a very low pain threshold;
- The entire process is strictly controlled. Before starting work, the doctor examines and adjusts the device in accordance with the individual characteristics of the patient. Sets the required laser power: when the planned area of skin is processed, the hair follicles absorb the amount of energy necessary to eliminate them, the device automatically goes into standby mode, signaling this;
- Evenly. Each hair follicle receives the same amount of energy needed to destroy it. Thanks to the uniform effect, no islands of vegetation remain on the skin;
- Safely. The laser precisely affects the hairs without damaging the surrounding tissue. The epidermis is not injured, there is absolutely no risk of infection;
- Contact impact. The tip does not act remotely, but glides directly over the skin. Thanks to this, energy is not reflected from the epidermis, but is absorbed as much as possible by the hair follicles;
- Epilation Moveo can be successfully combined with classic alexandrite if necessary, for example, for processing single hairs in hard-to-reach places. It is enough just to install another manipulator ( die attachment);
- If the procedure is performed professionally, there are no side effects and no hyper- or hypopigmented areas appear.
Moveo dynamic hair removal is a unique technology that has no analogues, the most modern method of eliminating excess hair on the face and body. Its safety and effectiveness have been proven in numerous tests.

Contraindications
For all its versatility, dynamic hair removal still has contraindications. They are standard for all hardware procedures:
- Oncological diseases. Laser hair removal can only be done after 5 years of remission;
- Pregnancy and lactation. During these periods, the female body may react unpredictably to laser exposure;
- Fever, any infectious diseases. We need to wait for recovery;
- Violation of skin integrity, inflammation, rashes and tattoos in the treatment area. If the tattoos are small, they can be glued or covered, but the vegetation in these areas cannot be removed with a laser, so that the image does not change color or fade;
- Severe neurological and mental illnesses;
- Photodermatosis. When taking medications that have a photosensitizing effect, it is better to postpone the procedure;
- Age up to 18 years. The reaction of a teenage body can be unpredictable, and the procedure may be ineffective.
Efficiency of the procedures performed
The effectiveness of laser procedures has been proven for more than 30 years. And everything is connected with the fact that the laser based on alexandrite uses the optimal wavelength, which interacts most favorably with the hairs. Despite many fakes, the leader in the production of alexandrite lasers is Candela (USA). When using such devices, you can reduce by several times the number of procedures that are necessary to completely get rid of vegetation.
When performing hair removal, you should understand that not all hairs will be removed, but only some of them - this is due to the fact that the laser’s effect will be directed only to hair that is in the active growth phase (anagen).
After one procedure, up to 40% of hairs can be removed.
To achieve the effect of smooth skin, you will need to undergo a full course of procedures. Between each procedure, it is required to maintain a certain time interval, which is up to one and a half months. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the body, as well as on the place of treatment. In some cases, up to eight to ten procedures may be needed.
How does the procedure work?
There is no need to prepare specially for the procedure to shave all the hair in the epilated area the day before the procedure or on the day of the procedure to make the skin smooth. Otherwise, there are no restrictions; you can (although not very advisable) even sunbathe and use self-tanning.
Immediately before the procedure, the doctor will examine the area to be epilated, determine your phototype and adjust the laser in accordance with it. After this, you need to put on glasses to protect your vision and take a comfortable position. There is no need to apply anesthetic creams: the method is completely painless, and you will experience extremely pleasant sensations during the treatment.
Avoiding painkillers saves time. And for those who are allergic to anesthetics combined with a low pain threshold, Moveo hair removal becomes not even the optimal, but the only possible choice!
gel will be applied to the skin . If you need to rid a large area of the body of vegetation, the doctor will divide it into separate sections measuring 10 by 10 centimeters , to which the required power is set. Individual moles will be painted over with a white pencil, taped or covered. The doctor will do the same with tattoos.
The plots are processed sequentially. The doctor slides the cooled tip over the skin in random directions until a beep sounds, indicating that the planned area has been epilated.
After this, the doctor moves on to the next area. Dynamic laser hair removal takes minimal time. It takes about 60 seconds . To remove hair from the upper lip, 30 seconds , armpits are processed in 90 seconds .
Immediately after the procedure, the skin may turn pink, but this phenomenon goes away after a few minutes . Swelling does not appear at all. Now it is enough to remove the gel from the skin, and you can leave the clinic and return to your daily activities. There are no restrictions , you can lead a normal life. The very next day you can go to the beach, visit the sauna, bathhouse or pool.
Features of the alexandrite laser
The goal of laser hair removal is to choose a type of laser that can provide maximum impact on the melanin of the hair follicle and will not have a damaging effect on the epidermal tissue. An important feature of the alexandrite laser is its ability to emit waves of a strictly defined length (755 nanometers), which makes it possible to achieve the highest quality results compared to other types of equipment. Alexandrite laser provides optimal conditions for hair removal in treated areas
, almost completely eliminating the risk of burns and scars. To protect the skin during manipulation, special cooling methods are used (for example, applying a cryogenic spray or cooling gels), which makes the hair removal process comfortable.
Result
After the first session, about 20-30% of hair is removed (depending on the area). After a few days, new hairs may appear on the epilated area. The process is not accompanied by itching and burning, as with shaving; often it goes unnoticed. This bristle begins to fall out on average after one, two to three weeks, and 1-1.5 months 20-40% is eliminated in this way .
Like other types of laser hair removal, Moveo acts exclusively on hairs in the growth stage.
For this reason, a course of procedures is required with an interval between visits to the clinic of about one and a half months. The session is scheduled only when new hairs grow. On the face this process usually takes 4-5 weeks , in the bikini area - 1.5-2 months , on the back - up to 2.5 months .
On average, 3-5 sessions to completely get rid of hair in the selected area. The number of sessions is individual and depends, first of all, on the area and hormonal levels affecting hair growth.
Important: after one or two sessions, a noticeable result will be achieved: the hair will become significantly smaller and its growth will slow down. In this case, it is not recommended to refuse subsequent procedures; it is better to complete the course completely in order to get rid of unnecessary growth for several years or forever.
As with conventional alexandrite laser hair removal, the results last for at least two years . In the future, the follicles can recover, and the hair will begin to grow again - thinner and weaker than before. You can get rid of them again with Moveo hair removal.
Sometimes, after the first course, hair growth stops forever ; in other cases, you can completely forget about the problem of excessive hair growth after a couple of courses completed. Sometimes doctors recommend undergoing maintenance procedures once a year to get rid of the most persistent and stubborn few hairs. It should be noted that from procedure to procedure the growth becomes less and less persistent, and disappears over time.
What to do next
After you have had laser hair removal for several weeks, you should follow a few simple rules.
- It is worth excluding going to steam rooms, baths and saunas.
- You should also exclude visiting the beach and other sunbathing techniques.
- Before going outside, treat your skin with sunscreen.
- It is also worth excluding excessive use of skin care products, namely alcohol-containing lotions and tonics.
If you decide to get rid of unwanted body hair using laser, then you should follow all the rules before and after. After all, the price is not only for the beauty and smoothness of the skin, but also for your health. Read about the dangers of laser hair removal on the website.
Some tips
- Before you decide to visit a cosmetologist, you should seriously study the reviews about a particular clinic. It is worth finding out what level of qualification the doctors have and what level the equipment is. Neglecting these qualities will result in burns and injuries. So, for example, if a cosmetologist is a “newbie,” then it is quite possible that he will not select the correct wavelength and power of the equipment. And you are guaranteed a painful burn.
- During the procedure, do not abandon protective glasses. Especially if you are epilating around the face. Otherwise, you risk getting a burn to the mucous membrane of the eye, and as a result, partial loss of vision, conjunctivitis, etc.
- Also, don’t be fooled by a low price. Of course, there is an opinion that expensive does not mean quality, but with the issue of hair removal this is not the case. The higher the price of the procedure, the better the quality of the equipment.
- Don't forget about the menstrual cycle. The procedure itself is not one of the most pleasant, and during critical days the pain level increases.
- This hair removal procedure is best performed in winter.
If the issue of beauty and health is worth the price, then approach this matter very thoroughly. Learn the pros and cons. Beauty to you!

Indications for use
The Alexandrite laser is used for hair removal, removal of tattoos, pigment and vascular formations. It is also appropriate to use it to combat benign tumors.
The effectiveness of the technique in removing unwanted hair is determined by compliance with the indications for it. Thus, the alexandrite laser is suitable for eliminating fine dark hair growing on untanned or fair skin. If you rely on the table of skin phonotypes from Fitzpatrick, then it would be appropriate to carry out the procedure from categories 1 to 3; when working with categories 4, 5 or 6, the effectiveness decreases and the risk of complications increases.
Alexandrite laser hair removal is carried out on the face (eyebrows, mustache, cheekbones) and on the body (armpits, chest, back, arms, bikini area, legs and others).
Choice of laser: alexandrite or diode?
An alexandrite-based laser is somewhat more powerful and efficient than its diode competitor. But at the same time, diode ones have a great advantage: they can be used with dark skin types without fear of burns. This is due to the fact that the rays of diode devices interact with melanin much worse. Therefore, this positive moment will also have its negative consequences .
Lasers with diodes are contact , which means that the device head comes into contact with the epidermis. To ensure that radiation energy reaches the skin as efficiently as possible and without loss, a special gel is used to cover the skin before the procedure. When the procedure is completed, all remnants of the gel must be removed/washed off the skin.
If there are hairs on the skin, they will be heated by the diode laser, as a result of which the patient may receive a minor burn, and the energy will not reach the root system in the required amount. Therefore, before the diode laser hair removal procedure, they must be shaved in advance, then all the energy will be directed directly to the roots.
When cosmetologists use alexandrite lasers, skin preparation in the form of shaving is not required, since 99% of lasers of this type are non-contact!

Epilation. Comparison of lasers and photoepilators (IPL)
Published: 12/28/2017
Hardware hair removal, based on the action of light, is the most popular among all other methods. A host of manufacturers of devices, including lasers and a wide range of lower-tech devices, that are seeking to meet this growing demand for permanent hair removal are promising that their customers will never have to shave again. Laser hair removal is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis (selective…
What not to do after the procedure
Is the alexandrite laser any good? Reviews from women say that it helps to get rid of unnecessary hair for a long time. The device should be used when the skin is well prepared for the procedure. To prevent swelling and redness, a drug that relieves irritation is applied immediately after the session. Over the next few days, the skin is softened and nourished with creams in every possible way. If a burn occurs, it is treated with ointments “Bepanten”, “Panthenol”, etc.
In addition, after epilation with an alexandrite laser you should not:
- sunbathe;
- visit a bathhouse or sauna;
- use antibiotics, hormones, antipsychotics and other medications;
- remove scabs from burns yourself;
- go outside without sunscreen.
Immediately after hair removal, hyperemia may occur, which can last up to 24 hours. If an unusual situation arises, you must urgently seek medical help.
The doctor may recommend regenerating and anti-inflammatory drugs. At first, the skin may push dead hair to the surface; this is not an increase in hair growth and there is no need to worry in this case. Re-grown hairs will be removed at the next session.
Do not get the hair removal area wet. Also, on the day of the procedure, it is prohibited to use any cosmetics.
How does this model differ from other analogues?
When comparing the Candela Gentlelase device with other laser systems, there are obvious advantages, for example:
- The laser beam spot area of this device differs in size from the spots of other types of laser devices in its size. This allows the beam to penetrate the follicles of deep-growing hairs.
- Increasing the pulse frequency of this model allows you to speed up the session almost twice as compared to similar devices (treatment of the legs takes 25 minutes, for the upper lip area it will take 3-5 minutes).
- A new development (skin cooling system) protects the body from overheating. A special liquid is applied to the areas prepared for the procedure, which cools the surface, thereby reducing the perception of pain and discomfort.
The principle of influence of the Candela apparatus is determined by the type of procedure performed
- The ability to conduct a session at the time the client needs, since the phenomenon of skin redness disappears after a few hours, and unnecessary vegetation disappears during the manipulation.
- Since the rays of the device do not affect the body, but only affect the follicles, Candela laser hair removal is completely harmless.
Consequences of the procedure
Laser hair removal with an alexandrite laser in Moscow, as well as in other regions, is performed only in salons. The procedure rarely causes side effects, although from time to time negative consequences appear in the form of:
- burns that occur due to the work of an unqualified specialist and an improper cooling system in the device;
- folliculitis - if a person suffers from excessive sweating, as well as in the first days after the procedure when visiting a sauna or bathhouse;
- allergies - it manifests itself in the form of dermatitis, urticaria or itching. A similar effect is caused by an anesthetic cream and cooling gas;
- herpes - occurs in people who have had this disease;
- dysfunction of the visual apparatus. As a rule, this is photophobia, partial loss of vision or conjunctivitis. Occurs during hair removal in the eyebrow area if the laser hits the mucous membrane of the eye and the patient refuses to wear glasses.
- hyperpigmentation - it appears on tanned skin a few days after the procedure. Sometimes it forms when the rules of protecting the skin from the sun are not followed in the first days after hair removal.

With the new GentleMax Pro laser, practitioners have the ability to integrate multiple technologies, making it the most powerful and complete aesthetic system available on the market today.
When it comes to creating a fast and effective laser for hair removal, every parameter is important. The two wavelengths in the GentleMax Pro laser allow you to treat different categories of patients. With the largest spot size of 24mm, enormous energy density and variable pulse length, the GentleMax Pro laser completely redefines the high-speed hair removal laser.

Benefits of using two different waves
You can choose the optimal wavelength for each procedure - no matter what it is: hair removal, treatment of vascular disorders, removal of benign age spots or treatment of skin affected by sunburn - in any case the result will be excellent, and thanks to dynamic cooling technology DCD skin the client will not experience discomfort.
By changing different wavelengths during one hair removal procedure, you can choose the most suitable laser for a specific hair type and skin type - there is no need to use two different systems to achieve optimal results and ensure that the procedure is safe for the client.
Possibility of performing several procedures for one client during one visit.
A wide range of procedures will help you serve more clients and increase your income.
Epidermal protection
GentleMax Pro offers a choice of several skin cooling options - ACC (Air Cooling Compatible) or DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device), a patented and laser-integrated Dynamic Cooling System, which is based on the spraying of cryogen before or after the pulse on the skin, which provides unprecedented comfort for the patient.
Hi-tech. Impressive power. Real results
There are certainly other multi-wavelength systems, but none of these platforms offer the increased speed, efficiency and versatility of the GentleMax Pro. Compared to competitors, it's easy to feel the difference.
The exclusive touch panel laser control interface provides an easy way to select the best machine settings. In Guided Mode, GentleMax Pro asks the user a series of questions to help determine optimal system settings based on the individual patient. As a result, GentleMax Pro has a high degree of security against human errors.
Large selection of spot diameters from 1.5 to 24 mm
The appearance of large spots on the Pro series has generated a lot of positive feedback, especially regarding hair removal procedures on the back and legs. Overall, the combination of the high energy and efficiency of the long-pulse wavelength Alexandrite laser provides a huge benefit and takes productivity to a new level.
The larger spot sizes available on the GentleMax Pro can significantly reduce treatment time without sacrificing effectiveness. Reducing the procedure time allows me to accept a large number of patients, which has a positive effect on the development of my business.
