What Is MOXI Laser Treatment?
Moxi (is) one of the few lasers that can be performed no matter the season or skin type. It is a non-ablative fractional laser procedure developed by Sciton. It uses a 1927 nm wavelength that specifically targets water within skin cells. This controlled energy stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen production and cellular renewal.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing lasers, the MOXI laser treatment focuses on gentle revitalization rather than deep resurfacing. Because it is non-ablative, the treatment does not remove the outer layer of skin. Instead, it creates microscopic zones of controlled thermal injury within the skin to trigger repair and regeneration.
This makes the procedure ideal for:
- Early signs of ageing
- Mild pigmentation
- Sun damage
- Safe for patients with Melasma
- Uneven skin tone
- Skin texture concerns
- Preventative skincare (“prejuvenation”)
Benefits of MOXI Laser Facial Treatments
This is designed for individuals who want rejuvenation without the intensity of more aggressive laser procedures. Because of its gentle nature, it has quickly become one of the most requested skin treatments in dermatology practices.
Improves Skin Tone and Texture
The MOXI laser facial helps refine uneven skin texture while restoring smoother and more uniform skin tone.
Targets Early Signs of Aging
Fine lines, dullness, and mild sun damage can be reduced through collagen stimulation.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to daily activities quickly, making it an excellent option for busy lifestyles.
Safe for Multiple Skin Types
Unlike some lasers that are restricted by skin tone, the MOXI laser facial can be performed on a wide variety of skin types.
Year-Round Treatment
This is one of the few laser treatments that can be safely performed during all seasons.
Supports Preventative Skincare
Patients in their 20s and 30s increasingly choose this to maintain healthy skin and prevent early aging.
BBL MOXI Treatment —Combining Two Powerful Technologies
For patients seeking enhanced results, dermatologists often recommend BBL MOXI treatment. This combination approach pairs MOXI laser technology with Broadband Light (BBL), a powerful phototherapy treatment.
Why Combine These Treatments?
This works by targeting multiple layers of skin simultaneously.
- BBL technology focuses on pigmentation, redness, and sun damage.
- MOXI laser energy improves texture and stimulates collagen.
Together, the treatment addresses both surface imperfections and deeper skin concerns.
Benefits of This Treatment
- More comprehensive skin rejuvenation
- Improved pigmentation correction
- Enhanced collagen stimulation
- Faster visible results
- Increased overall skin brightness
How Does MOXI Laser Treatment Work?
Understanding how this treatment works can help patients feel more confident and informed before undergoing the procedure.
Consultation Stage: Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation with a dermatologist. During this appointment, your skin concerns, goals, and medical history are evaluated to determine if this treatment is the right solution for you.
Skin Preparation: Before the procedure begins, pretreatment photos are taken to monitor progress and results. The skin is then thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes to ensure maximum comfort.
Laser Application: The procedure is quick and efficient, usually taking around 10 minutes depending on the area being treated. A specialized handpiece with roller guidance delivers controlled laser energy evenly across the skin.
Skin Renewal: During treatment, microscopic laser zones stimulate collagen production and trigger natural skin regeneration. Over the next few days, the skin heals and gradually reveals a smoother, brighter, and more refreshed complexion.
