MOXI Laser
The MOXI laser by Sciton is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser designed for skin rejuvenation and prejuvenation (preventative skincare). It targets fine lines, sun damage, uneven tone, and texture, making it ideal for all skin types and year-round use. With minimal downtime, Moxi helps refresh and brighten the skin, promoting a youthful, radiant glow. Often paired with BBL for enhanced results!
What is MOXI?
MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative 1927nm fractional laser designed to target an array of skin concerns. This wavelength uses its high absorption in water which results in non-ablative coagulation as desired in the epidermis and dermis. It creates micro-channels of heat in the skin which encourages collagen synthesis.
MOXI is perfect for those looking to maintain healthy, glowing skin or prevent the signs of aging before they start. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast or new to laser treatments, MOXI fits seamlessly into any skincare routine.
What can MOXI treat?
MOXI Laser offers an advanced rejuvenation with minimal downtime & discomfort. In a single treatment it can;
Skin tone & texture – Smooths roughness and evens out skin tone.
Pigmentation & sun damage – Reduces brown spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone.
Fine lines & early signs of aging – Stimulates collagen to keep skin firm and youthful.
Dullness & lack of radiance – Boosts skin renewal for a healthy glow.
Pore size – Minimizes enlarged pores for a refined complexion.
Why choose MOXI?
- Minimal downtime – Say goodbye to long recovery periods! With MOXI, you can get back to your routine quickly with only mild redness and roughness for a few days.
- Year-round treatment – Unlike more aggressive lasers, MOXI is safe to use any time of the year, making it perfect for consistent skin maintenance.
- Safe for all skin types – MOXI’s gentle technology is safe for all skin types, even darker tones that may not tolerate more aggressive lasers.
- Prejuvenation & correction – Whether you’re preventing fine lines or correcting mild pigmentation, MOXI is your go-to laser for glowing, youthful skin.
In your initial consultation, our Laser Therapists will discuss your skin goals and weigh your treatment options based on your skin condition, tone, allowance for downtime, and budget, to help you decide which treatment will be best.
When to start?
Similar to other IPL and laser treatments, sun exposure needs to be avoided 4 weeks before having a BBL Hero treatment. Unfortunately we cannot treat you if your skin has been tanned from the sun. Therefore we advise commencing treatments in the cooler months to avoid adverse reactions.
Some other considerations before your treatments;
- 2 weeks prior: Avoid sun exposure & fake tan. Wear SPF50+ when exposed to minimal sun.
- 1 week prior: Avoid retinol, tretinoin, AHA’s, and BHA’s. Refrain from other treatments such as waxing, chemical peels, and laser hair removal.
- A few days prior: Halt aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medication as well as vitamin e & fish oil. Please check with your healthcare provider before stopping prescription medication.
What you can expect during the treatment
During a MOXI laser treatment, you can expect a quick, comfortable, and effective session with minimal downtime. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what happens:
Skin Preparation
-
- We will cleanse your skin to remove makeup, oil, and impurities.
- A numbing cream is applied for extra comfort.
The Treatment Process
- The MOXI laser gently glides over your skin, delivering fractionated laser energy to stimulate collagen and cell renewal.
- You may feel a warm, prickling sensation.
- The entire treatment typically takes 10-20 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Sensations
- Your skin may feel warm, like a mild sunburn, for a few hours post-treatment.
- There may be redness and slight roughness for a few days as your skin begins to heal and regenerate.
- You’ll notice tiny microdots (MENDs) on your skin—these will naturally slough off within a few days, revealing fresh, glowing skin.
Aftercare
After your MOXI treatment, your skin will be sensitive, red, and have possible minor swelling. As mentioned above, the main downtime with treatments is MENDs which are similar to tiny scabs. Until these naturally flake off, you’ll need to take extra care to keep your skin clean.
To care for your skin while it’s healing, we recommend;
- First 24-48hrs:
– Use a cold compress if necessary.
– Avoid scratching, picking, or rubbing your skin.
– Use a gentle cleanser only & keep skin well moisturised.
– Wear SPF50+ at all times.
- Day 2-7:
– Avoid picking, rubbing or scratching the MENDs.
– Continue moisturising frequently.
– Avoid retinol, AHA’s, BHA’s, Vitamin C, and strong exfoliants.
