At Lentz Plastic Surgery, our MOXI laser treatment offers a gentle yet powerful approach to early skin rejuvenation. It is ideal for maintaining youthful skin and treating the first signs of sun damage, texture changes, or discoloration.
What Is MOXI Laser Treatment?
MOXI is a non-ablative laser treatment developed by Sciton to refresh the skin without harming its surface. It uses a 1927nm wavelength to target water in the skin, encouraging cellular renewal while preserving the surrounding tissue integrity.
Often called a “prejuvenation” treatment, MOXI is popular with younger patients who want to prevent signs of aging. It is also used by adults experiencing early pigmentation, uneven tone, or texture concerns.
How MOXI Laser Technology Works
MOXI uses a non-ablative, fractionated laser. That means it heats small zones deep in the skin without damaging the top layer. The laser creates tiny thermal injuries that encourage your body to generate fresh, healthy skin.
- Fractionated delivery: Thousands of micro-injuries are created in the dermis.
- No surface damage: The epidermis stays intact, allowing faster healing.
- Natural exfoliation: Dark specks known as MENDs rise to the surface and flake off, revealing smoother, brighter skin.
Collagen and elastin production also increase during the healing process, improving firmness and tone.
Benefits of Choosing MOXI Laser for Your Skin
MOXI works well for people who want visible improvement without needing time off work or social events. It offers several advantages:
- Quick recovery: Most patients experience mild redness that fades within one or two days.
- Safe for all skin tones: MOXI does not target pigment, so it can be used on all Fitzpatrick skin types.
- Fast sessions: A typical facial treatment takes 15 minutes or less.
- Low discomfort: Patients describe it as a warm or prickly sensation.
- Flexible intensity: Treatments can be adjusted from light refreshers to more intensive skin resurfacing.
- Compatible with other treatments: MOXI is often paired with BBL® or Halo® for more comprehensive results.
Who Can Benefit from MOXI Laser?
MOXI is well-suited for anyone looking to protect or improve their skin. You don’t need significant damage to start seeing the benefits.
Patients often seek MOXI to address:
- Uneven skin tone
- Early sun damage or pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Minor acne scars
- Melasma
- Dull or tired-looking skin
MOXI is helpful for ongoing maintenance between deeper laser and light-based treatments. MOXI may also be combined with chemical peels and medical-grade skin care products to maximize results for uneven tone, melasma, or sun damage.
What to Expect During a MOXI Laser Session
MOXI treatments are quick, straightforward, and usually well-tolerated. Your skin will first be cleansed to prepare for treatment. Depending on your comfort level and the intensity of your session, a topical numbing cream may be applied, though many patients find it unnecessary.
During the procedure, the MOXI handpiece is passed smoothly and evenly across the skin. As the laser energy is delivered, you may feel a light prickling sensation or warmth, but most describe it as manageable. After your session, you’ll receive simple instructions for aftercare, including gentle cleansing, frequent moisturizing, and sun protection.
Areas That Can Be Treated with MOXI
MOXI is effective on multiple areas of the body. The most common zones include:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest (décolletage)
- Hands
- Arms
- Legs
These areas often show early signs of sun exposure and respond well to gentle resurfacing.
Recovery & Results After MOXI Laser Therapy
Recovery after MOXI is predictable and straightforward:
- Day One: Redness and warmth similar to a mild sunburn.
- Days Two to Five: Tiny dark dots appear as treated skin rises to the surface. Skin may feel rough, like sandpaper.
- By Day Five to Seven: MENDs naturally flake off. Your skin will look clearer and feel smoother.
You can wear makeup after 24 hours. Most patients return to work or social plans the day after treatment. If you live more than 25 miles away, Dr. Lentz recommends staying locally for the first night. We can provide a list of hotel options nearby.
