Moxi Laser
What Is Moxi Laser?
Moxi is a gentle, non-ablative laser designed to refresh and rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. Using fractionated laser energy, Moxi stimulates collagen production and improves tone, texture, and overall skin health. At Natural Image Skin Center, we offer Moxi as an excellent option for preventative skincare, helping to combat early signs of aging, sun damage, and pigmentation before they become more pronounced. Moxi is often referred to as the “prejuvenation” laser because it’s effective for all skin types and ages, making it an ideal choice for those looking to maintain a youthful complexion.
The Benefits of Moxi Laser Treatment
- Brightens and evens out skin tone by reducing sun damage and pigmentation
- Improves skin texture and minimizes the appearance of fine lines
- Minimizes sun damage and pigmentation to fade freckles, sunspots, and other discoloration for a brighter, more uniform skin tone.
- Helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, giving skin a smoother finish.
Who Is a Candidate for Moxi?
Moxi is perfect for anyone looking to refresh and maintain their skin’s natural glow. It’s particularly beneficial for:
- Younger individuals looking for preventative skin care (“prejuvenation”)
- Those with mild sun damage, uneven texture, or fine lines
- Individuals who want a gentle, low-downtime laser treatment
- People with all skin types, including darker tones, thanks to Moxi’s non-ablative approach
Moxi is often recommended as a starter laser for those new to laser treatments or as a maintenance treatment for more intensive laser procedures like Halo.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The Moxi treatment is quick and comfortable, typically lasting 15–30 minutes. A topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort, though most patients report only mild discomfort, often described as a warm, prickling sensation.
Moxi uses gentle laser energy to create micro-coagulation zones in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing process and promote collagen production.
Recovery and Downtime
One of the biggest advantages of Moxi is its minimal downtime. After treatment, you may experience mild redness and warmth, similar to a light sunburn. Tiny micro-dots (MENDS) will appear on the skin and slough off within 3 to 5 days, but there is no significant peeling or discomfort, allowing you to resume most activities right away. Visible improvement in radiance and skin texture can be seen within a week, with results continuing to improve over time. For optimal results, a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Moxi is less intense than Halo and is designed for prevention and maintenance, while Halo is better for deeper resurfacing and correcting more advanced signs of aging and sun damage.
Moxi is a great treatment year-round, but many patients prefer to get it in the fall or winter when sun exposure is lower. Since it has minimal downtime, it’s also an ideal treatment before special events to refresh and brighten the skin without long recovery times. However, wearing sunscreen diligently post-treatment is essential to protect results.
For best results, 3–4 initial sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended, followed by quarterly or annual maintenance.
Yes! Moxi is one of the safest laser treatments for all skin types, including darker complexions, since it uses non-ablative technology that minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation.
