Moxi Laser

Moxi is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity with minimal downtime and customizable results.

Overview

What is Moxi?

Moxi is a cutting-edge non-ablative fractional laser that revitalizes the skin by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing damaged tissue. It is a versatile option for patients seeking a gentle yet effective way to correct pigmentation, improve texture, and restore radiance. Moxi is ideal for maintaining youthful skin or treating early signs of aging.

Unlike aggressive resurfacing lasers, Moxi is safe for all skin types and requires little downtime. It is often referred to as a “prejuvenation” treatment because it can prevent and slow visible aging when started early. Moxi is also used in combination with other treatments to enhance results.

How it Works

What it Treats

30-60 minutes depending on area.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Moxi

Before Moxi

Patients should avoid sun exposure, tanning, and retinoids for several days before treatment to minimize the risk of irritation.

During Moxi

A topical numbing cream is applied; the handheld device delivers fractional laser energy, creating a prickling warmth on the skin.

Mild redness, warmth, or flaking may occur for 3-5 days. Makeup can usually be worn within 24 hours. Results improve gradually.

Potential Risks and Side Effects from Moxi

Redness and swelling in the treated area

Mild and temporary; usually resolves in a few hours to days.

Dryness, flaking, or rough skin texture during healing

Expected part of the renewal process; managed with moisturizer.

Temporary hyperpigmentation or dark spots (especially in darker skin tones)

Rare but possible; typically resolves with proper care and sun protection.

Related Concerns to Moxi Laser

Moxi is a low-downtime fractional laser designed for early prevention and maintenance, treating sun damage and tone irregularities before they become more pronounced. It’s often used as a starting point for patients newer to laser treatments. Below are the concerns this treatment addresses, each explained on its concern page.

Sun Damage

Sun exposure gradually breaks down collagen and creates uneven pigment across the skin's surface, even before deeper wrinkles form. Moxi's gentle fractional laser energy targets this early damage, prompting cell turnover with far less downtime than more aggressive resurfacing.

Sun Damage

Uneven Skin Tone

Patches of discoloration develop from sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or old scarring, leaving the complexion looking inconsistent. Moxi treats the entire face in one low-downtime session, evening out tone gradually across multiple treatments rather than targeting isolated spots.

Uneven Skin Tone

Early Signs of Aging

Fine texture changes and subtle tone shifts are often among the earliest visible signs of aging, showing up before deeper lines or volume loss. Moxi addresses these early changes directly, making it a common starting point for patients who want to stay ahead of more visible aging.
