Spot Size: Targeting Precision and Coverage

Complete & Continue Next Lesson Learn More

Explanation:

  • The spot size refers to the diameter of the laser beam that comes into contact with the skin. Larger spot sizes allow the treatment of larger areas more quickly, while smaller spot sizes are ideal for precise areas​(Motus AY User Manual '22).

Why and How to Change:

  • For larger areas like the legs or back, use a larger spot size (e.g., 14 mm or more) to cover more skin in a shorter time.

  • For small or sensitive areas like the upper lip or bikini line, use a smaller spot size (e.g., 5 mm) for precision and better control.

  • How to change: The Motus AY machine provides a variety of spot sizes, and you can adjust the handpiece or setting to match the treatment area
