MOXI® Laser

If you enjoy an active lifestyle and spend time outdoors in Arizona, you’ll likely start to notice some early signs of sun damage and aging, even if you’re diligent about wearing sunscreen and following a daily skincare regimen. You can get ahead of aging’s effects with MOXI laser skin treatments at our Gilbert, AZ, med spa, serving Queen Creek and the surrounding areas.

How Does MOXI Work? 

Often referred to as a “prejuvenation” laser treatment, MOXI is gentler than most laser skin resurfacing procedures. It’s a non-ablative fractional laser, meaning it leaves the skin’s surface intact while delivering heat below the skin’s surface through thousands of tiny, deep channels. Thermal energy stimulates the body’s natural healing response, which produces collagen and elastin—proteins that are essential for smooth, firm skin. Moxi has 3 energy settings, allowing us to customize treatments for each person.

Who Is a Good Candidate for MOXI Treatments? 

Younger patients, such as women and men in their late 20s or early 30s, can benefit from MOXI treatments. MOXI is designed to prevent the early signs of aging from becoming more noticeable and it’s suitable for all skin types. The ideal candidate is interested in preventing and reducing signs of aging rather than dramatically correcting skin concerns. MOXI is also a good option for anyone looking to maintain their results after a more aggressive laser treatment, such as Halo® laser skin resurfacing.

MOXI can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands to improve:

• Sun damage
• Visible signs of aging
• Pigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Texture
• Mild scarring

MOXI is also effective for minimizing skin discoloration, such as melasma.  

Can You Combine MOXI With Other Treatments? 

We often recommend combining MOXI with BBL® HERO™ (High Energy Rapid Output) treatments. Both procedures are part of the mJOULE platform from Sciton® lasers and complement each other. MOXI is an ideal option for maintaining BBL treatment results.  

You might also want to combine MOXI with cosmetic injectables, such as dermal fillers or BOTOX® Cosmetic.  

What Is Recovery Like After a MOXI Treatment? 

Recovery from a fractional laser treatment such as MOXI is much shorter than the downtime following ablative laser treatments. There is little to no downtime associated with MOXI procedures. After treatment, you can expect your skin to appear pinkish and feel tingly, like a mild sunburn. This usually lasts only a few hours. Using the air conditioner in your car after leaving our office can help speed up the process. You should avoid applying makeup and sunscreen for the rest of the day. You might notice your skin feels a bit rougher for a few days as the skin’s top layer sloughs off. 

After that, you’ll see the skin is more radiant overall. Depending on your specific concerns, you will probably get optimal results after 2 to 4 treatments.
