What is MOXI?
MOXI is the new, easy way to “prejuvenate” your skin. Using a non-ablative fractional laser, MOXI delivers light into the skin to trigger a skin healing response for collagen and elastin production. MOXI was developed for active individuals looking to correct the initial signs of sun damage and aging by fixing uneven pigmentation and improving the general tone and texture of the skin. Taking under 15 minutes, this ideal lunch time treatment has little to no downtime and fits into an any lifestyle any time of the year. It’s safe for year-round treatments among all skin types, so everyone can brighten and refresh their skin. Improvements can be noticed after a single treatment.
How does MOXI work?
MOXI delivers gentle micro-pulses or fractionated laser energy to the skin in order to create controlled damage to skin cells. The body’s natural response is to remove the damaged cells which contain pigment and other signs of aging, replacing the cells with fresh new cells, as well as expediting collagen and elastin production. The result is fresh, bright looking skin. This provides a very precise method for treatment that directly addresses skin issues for all skin types.
How comfortable is the treatment?
Depending on the level of treatment provided, most patients find the treatment well tolerated. Your practitioner may use cooling air and recommend numbing cream to help ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on your treatment goals. For the day following your treatment, your skin may appear red and, depending on your level of treatment, you may see the small micro dots called mendz where the laser was applied. As the micro zones heal, they will darken and feel rough. Between days 3-5, the mendz will slough off, revealing the renewed skin beneath.
What is the post care?
Because this is a non-ablative fractionated treatment, the post care regimen is simple. Wear a moisturizing physical sunscreen and stay out of the sun. You may wear makeup 24 hours after your treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
This will depend on your treatment goals and level of damage. Most patients receive 3-4 corrective treatments, then often will sign up for regular maintenance treatments throughout the year.
