About the DEKA Motus AX
Motus AX is an Alexandrite laser system made by DEKA M.E.L.A. in Calenzano, Italy. It runs a single 755 nm wavelength and delivers it through Moveo handpieces, which work in contact with the skin and heat the target gradually over repeated passes.
DEKA lists hair removal and benign pigmented lesions as the device’s applications. At MED YU MED the Motus AX is used for laser hair removal on the face and body, including sensitive zones and areas prone to ingrown hair.

How Moveo works
Skin reflects part of the energy of a visible or near-infrared laser. DEKA’s brochure states that at 755 nm, skin with an 8% melanin content, which corresponds to phototype III, reflects over 50% of the energy. The Moveo handpiece works in contact with the skin through a sapphire tip, which DEKA says drastically reduces the reflected energy, so the treatment runs at lower fluence.
Instead of firing single high-energy shots, the clinician makes repeated passes over small areas, and the pulses heat the vital parts of the hair gradually. An accumulator displays the energy delivered, and an acoustic signal marks the end point for each area. DEKA states that a 10 × 10 cm area takes about 25 seconds.
DEKA describes the Motus AX as the first 755 nm device to treat hair removal in all Fitzpatrick skin types, including tanned skin. The clinic still assesses your skin type and recent sun exposure first, and a fresh tan is a reason to wait. Laser reduces hair density rather than removing hair permanently. Risks and contraindications are on the laser hair removal page.

Frequently asked questions about the device
What is the DEKA Motus AX?
It is an Alexandrite laser system made by DEKA M.E.L.A. in Calenzano, Italy. It works at 755 nm and uses Moveo handpieces for hair removal and benign pigmented lesions.
What is Moveo technology?
Moveo is DEKA’s in-motion method. The handpiece stays in contact with the skin through a sapphire tip and makes repeated passes over small areas, heating the hair gradually at lower fluence instead of firing single high-energy shots.
Can the Motus AX treat darker or tanned skin?
DEKA describes it as the first 755 nm device to treat hair removal in all Fitzpatrick skin types, including tanned skin. At MED YU MED suitability is still decided after a skin-type assessment, with a patch test where indicated.
What are the main specifications of the Motus AX?
DEKA lists a 755 nm wavelength, up to 31 J per pulse, up to 62 W laser power, fluence up to 160 J/cm², single-pulse durations from 2 to 50 ms and optional spot sizes from 5 to 20 mm, with an integrated contact skin cooler.
