Used Motus AX for Sale: Current Listings, Used Price Range and What to Check

A used Motus AX has only two current asking prices as of November 2026, $22,000 and $34,200, which is too few to set a used price range.

Laser Service Engineering, a dealer, listed a 2018 Motus AX at $22,000 on DOTmed on October 8, 2026.

A second DOTmed seller listed a 2019 unit with skin cooling, described as in very good condition, at $34,200 on November 2, 2026.

A dealer also listed a 2021 Motus AX with under 1.2 million shots and an alexandrite handpiece at $31,000, but that unit is marked sold out, so treat it as a past asking price.

Motus AY, AZ and AZ+ listings are different models, so do not read their asking prices as Motus AX prices.

The price box above shows the live listings and count; every figure is an asking price, not a sale price.

The Motus line has four FDA-cleared versions: Motus AX (2017), Motus AY (2018), Motus AZ (2021) and the MOTUS PRO family (2024).

Cartessa, DEKA's US distributor, now markets the Motus PRO, and its old Motus AX product page no longer loads.

Cartessa says Moveo launched first with the 755 nm alexandrite wavelength and later expanded to 1064 nm Nd:YAG.

Motus AX is a 755 nm alexandrite laser system that delivers energy through a set of spot-size handpieces and the Moveo handpiece.

The Motus AX 510(k) summary describes a 755 nm alexandrite laser, and the dual-wavelength Motus model is the Motus AY.

Motus AX is one of the alexandrite systems priced side by side with other used 755 nm lasers.

Ask the seller for the voltage, weight and console size from the operator manual before you arrange freight.

Check five things on a used Motus AX: pulse counts, the exact model, the handpiece set, service records and serial match.

1. Pulse counts: ask for the system pulse count, laser head count, flashlamp count and pulses since the last lamp replacement, since one used listing reported 5,210,279 system pulses and 1,160,518 pulses since its last lamp change.
2. Model: confirm on the console and serial plate that the unit is an AX and not an AY, AZ or AZ+, because dealers sell those as separate models.
3. Handpieces: list which of the 2.5, 5, 7, 10 and 20 mm handpieces and the Moveo handpiece come with the system.
4. Service records: ask for the dates of the last flashlamp change and preventive maintenance.
5. Serial match: match the serial numbers on the console, handpieces and paperwork to the listing.

An older-generation AX with millions of pulses needs this check more than a newer system, so work through the used-laser buying steps that apply to an older Motus AX before you send a deposit.

Ask Cartessa in writing whether a new owner must pay a transfer or recertification fee before it provides service on a used Motus AX.

Motus AX is FDA-cleared under K162886 for temporary hair reduction and for stable long-term or permanent hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles.

• Hair reduction on all skin types, Fitzpatrick I–VI, including tanned skin
• Benign pigmented lesions
• Wrinkles
• Benign vascular lesions

Who can buy a used Motus AX depends on state law, and some states limit laser purchases to licensed health professionals.

Texas, for example, requires a physician's order or prescription to buy a laser hair removal device, and Georgia defines lasers as prescription devices sold only to licensed practitioners with prescriptive authority.
