WHAT IS LYNTON MOTUS AY?
The Lynton Motus AY is a cutting-edge medical-grade laser system that utilizes both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers. This combination allows for effective hair removal on a wide range of skin types, including darker tones, which are often challenging for other laser systems.
Alexandrite Laser
The Alexandrite laser operates at a wavelength of 755 nm, making it highly effective for targeting melanin in the hair follicles. This results in efficient hair removal, particularly for lighter skin tones.

Nd:YAG Laser
The Nd:YAG laser operates at a wavelength of 1064 nm, which penetrates deeper into the skin, making it suitable for darker skin tones. It targets the hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin, ensuring safety and efficacy.

Cost-effective
While the upfront cost of laser hair removal may be higher, it is more cost- effective in the long run. The need for frequent waxing or shaving products and services adds up over time, making laser hair removal a wise investment.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Consultation Patch Test:
These are carried out to determine your suitability for LHR, to establish safe parameters and to judge how your skin might react to a full treatment.
A test patch is a small trial in the treatment site, which allows the practitioner to assess
how well the laser energy reacts with your skin. Clients are asked to make a note of any
redness or swelling and how long it takes to reduce following the test patch.
Treatment Process: During the treatment, the laser handpiece is moved over the
targeted area, delivering controlled pulses of laser energy.
The Moveo technology ensures that the
procedure is comfortable and virtually painless. The duration of the session depends on the size of the treatment area.
Aftercare: Post-treatment care is
crucial for optimal results and skin health.
You may experience mild redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours.
It is essential to avoid sun exposure and use a high- SPF sunscreen to protect the treated area. See below for detailed pre & post care advice.

Yes, the Lynton Motus AY system is effective and safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones.
- The area to be treated should be free from make-up, perfume, deodorant and body or face creams. Be careful when using spray deodorant prior to treatment.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, hair removal creams and bleaching for, one month prior to hair removal treatments. Hair should be shaved prior to treatment and be no longer than 1mm in length.
- There should be no active or fake tan in the area to be treated. Use of sunbeds or prolonged exposure to sunlight is not allowed in the month prior to treatment and an SPF 30 must be used on the area between treatments. Suntans must be left to fade completely before treatment can start. Fake tans must also be fully faded before treatment can commence.
- We reserve the right to charge for any appointment booked but abandoned due to active suntan or fake tan.
- A medical history is taken at consultation, but we rely on you to inform us of any changes to this. We need to know of any medication you are taking including those bought from a chemist or herbalist.
- Make sure that you arrive in good time for your appointment; this will allow us to pre-cool the skin if this should be required.
Common side effects include mild redness and swelling, which typically subside within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare when performed by a qualified clinician.
- In order to minimise skin heating and to reduce the likelihood of skin reactions, the treatment area may be cooled before, during and after the procedure. If the area still feels hot at home, you can apply a cold flannel or cool pack. Do not allow ice packs or
ice into direct contact with the skin. - Following treatment, the area may appear red and raised and you may experience a tingling sensation. This is completely normal and should settle in the next few days.
- Occasionally you may experience swelling or bruising and this can last anything from 1-2 days up to 1-2 weeks. If you experience swelling, it is usually worse one to two days following treatment. If it follows a treatment to a facial area, sleeping with your head raised on pillows will minimise its appearance. Ice packs will also help to reduce the swelling. If your skin is particularly sensitive and prone to histamine reactions, you may also wish to consider taking an anti-histamine medication.
- Make-up can be applied after several hours, if the skin is not sore or broken. However, we advise caution if the area is feeling sensitive. Remove make up carefully as rubbing the skin can cause irritation or infection. If the skin at the treatment area becomes broken, then make-up should be avoided.
- Care should be taken to avoid trauma to the treated area for 4 or 5 days afterwards. Avoid strenuous activities, sauna and steam, excessively hot baths, massaging etc.
- Wash and bathe as normal but take cool showers rather than hot baths. The skin should be patted dry and not rubbed. Use Lynton Light Soothe serum to reduce irritation and keep the area moisturised and the skin protected. If there is any discomfort, treat the area as you would sunburn.
- Use a sunscreen (SPF 30+) and protect the area from sunlight as much as possible between treatments and for at least one month after treatment ends. Failure to do this can lead to sunburn and hyper-pigmentation of the treated area. (Most cases of changes in pigmentation occur when the treated area has been exposed to sunlight, or in people with darker skin types).
- If blistering occurs contact the clinic immediately for further advice. Keep the area clean and dry and allow to heal naturally. Do not use any lotions or creams on open skin as this may increase the risk of infection. DO NOT pick grazes or blisters – as this may increase the chance of a scar occurring. Once the skin has healed, a high protection sunscreen should be used daily for 12 months to prevent hyperpigmentation in the skin.
No, you should avoid waxing or plucking between sessions. Shaving is the preferred method of hair removal between treatments.
