What Is MOXI Laser Treatment?
MOXI is a fractionated, non-ablative laser that rejuvenates the skin by delivering controlled energy to its upper layers. The treatment stimulates collagen production, reduces visible signs of sun damage, and promotes smoother, more even-looking skin over time. Because MOXI is a gentle, maintenance-oriented laser, it is often considered a “prejuvenation” treatment—ideal for patients who want to be proactive about aging without extended downtime.
You’ll notice brighter, more refreshed skin after a series of treatments, with continued improvement as collagen progressively develops.
What Areas Can MOXI Treat?
MOXI is commonly used on the face, but it can also refresh other sun-exposed areas that tend to reveal aging, including the neck, chest, and hands. Treatments are tailored to your specific goals and skin condition to ensure natural-looking, balanced results.
Who’s a Good Candidate for MOXI Laser?
If you’re interested in a gentler option for skin renewal, MOXI laser rejuvenation may be the right solution. It can be especially helpful for:
- Early signs of aging
- Uneven tone or sun damage
- Rough or dull texture
- Preventive maintenance between more powerful procedures
- Complementing other nonsurgical treatments
MOXI is customizable, so it can be used on nearly all skin types. Unlike fractional CO2 laser and other more powerful resurfacing treatments, MOXI rejuvenates the skin with minimal downtime.
What To Expect During MOXI Treatment?
A typical session performed by our experienced aesthetic nurse practitioner takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. After cleansing your skin, they may apply a topical numbing cream to enhance comfort. The MOXI handpiece is then passed across the skin, delivering precise laser energy to the targeted area.
Patients generally describe the sensation as warm or prickly, and cooling is often used immediately afterward. You can return to most daily activities right away.
A Reputation Built on Results
What Is Recovery Like After MOXI Laser Rejuvenation?
While recovery is minimal, our team provides detailed aftercare instructions. You can expect:
- Mild redness and a sandpaper-like texture for a few days as the skin renews itself
- Gradual flaking or dryness as treated skin sheds and brighter, more even skin emerges
- The ability to resume normal activities quickly, with makeup typically worn within 24 hours
Multiple sessions—typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart—are usually recommended for optimal results, followed by periodic maintenance. Sun protection and a skincare plan designed by Dr. Daines and our team help preserve your glow.
