MOXI® Non-Ablative LASER Resurfacing Treatment
There are generally two types of skin resurfacing lasers: ablative and non-ablative.
-
Ablative lasers remove the top layer of the skin, the epidermis, resulting in a peeling or skin-cycling process that can require some downtime and discomfort.
-
Non-ablative lasers use heat to warm the deeper dermal layers of the skin, increasing collagen production and improving skin elasticity without the downtime of more invasive techniques.
What is MOXI®?
MOXI® is a non-ablative laser that is a single wavelength 1927nm laser and uses gentle heat to stimulate collagen production to improve the skin from the inside out. As the collagen increases, you will see improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scarring, skin elasticity, and more.
What Are the Benefits of MOXI® Laser Treatments?
MOXI laser treatments are gentle yet powerful to combat a variety of skin concerns, including:
-
Acne scars
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Sun spots and age spots
-
Hyperpigmentation
-
Uneven skin tone and texture
MOXI® laser treatments target such a wide variety of concerns that they can be effective and safe for patients of all ages and all skin types. Some lasers are ineffective––and even unsuitable––for patients with darker skin tones because they target contrasted pigment and sometimes melanin. MOXI®, however, is gentle and safe for sensitive and dark skin. Since this laser improves skin health from the inside out, it can be an excellent rejuvenation treatment for younger patients looking to improve and maintain healthy, clear skin.
What Can I Expect From a MOXI® Laser Treatment?
At LeMuse, we are committed to providing all our clients with a safe and comfortable aesthetic experience.
To provide a personalized experience, you will first have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your skin concerns and goals. Once a treatment plan has been created, you are ready for your MOXI® session.
Before the procedure, the practitioner will apply topical numbing cream on the treated area for about 20-30 minutes. Then, the practitioner will pass the MOXI® handpiece across the treatment area(s) while the computerized device tracks the ideal length of the procedure.
Most MOXI® treatments take around 15-20 minutes with minimum pain, downtime, or recovery. The number of sessions needed will be determined during your consultation and will depend entirely on your skin concerns and goals.
The results of MOXI® laser treatments include smoother, clearer, glowing skin that is more hydrated and nourished. As MOXI® works by increasing collagen production, it may take a few weeks to see the full results of your treatment. As your body continues to heal through collagen production, you will continue to see the benefits of your MOXI® treatment.
Can I Combine MOXI® with Other Treatments?
Yes! MOXI is often combined with BBL photo facial treatments to magnify the improvements in skin tones, textures, and pigmentation, resulting in a brighter and more eye-catching look!
The cost of MOXI will be unique to each client as their needs will be particular at the time of their treatment. We will discuss the price of MOXI at your consultation. At that time, we can also review our financing options with you.
