Meet MOXI™ – Are you ready to revitalize your skin? Check out our newest addition to laser resurfacing here at Matthew Bridges, MD. This laser was designed with EVERYONE in mind! Unlike more aggressive laser resurfacing treatments, MOXI™ is a gentle approach to radiant skin! It can lighten, brighten, and refresh your skin and is appropriate for all skin types and ages. The best part? MOXI™ is the easy way to rejuvenate your skin with little to no downtime and can safely be performed during any season (even on tan skin)!

MOXI™, by Sciton®, comfortably delivers non-ablative laser energy to revitalize your skin by correcting the initial signs of sun damage and aging. You’ll love the fact that this “lunchtime” procedure can fit into your active lifestyle any time of the year and can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results. MOXI™ stimulates the skin to boost collagen production to heal itself, which makes skin smoother. As our skin repairs itself, damaged cells are replaced with fresh, healthy ones. This renewal process causes improvements to the skin’s texture and overall tone. If you don’t want the downtime but still desire the improvements seen with laser resurfacing, MOXI™ may be a fantastic option for you!

MOXI™ is incredibly versatile and offers a wide range of benefits. Not only is it an excellent way to gently rejuvenate your skin, but it is also a rising star in the “prejuvenation” trend that encourages patients to maintain their skin BEFORE the visible signs of aging set in.

Other benefits of MOXI™ include:

• Improvements in skin tone & texture
• Lighten and/or remove uneven pigmentation
• Little to no downtime
• Repairs and rejuvenates sun-damaged skin
• Safe for all skin types
• Safe to perform all year round

WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY CAN MOXI™ BE USED?

MOXI™ can treat virtually anywhere on the body to improve skin’s texture and tone, including the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, legs, and even feet.

WHO ARE THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR MOXI™?

MOXI™ is an ideal treatment for patients who don’t want extended downtime. It is also great for younger patients who are just beginning their skin rejuvenation and maintenance journey.

HOW COMFORTABLE IS MOXI™ LASER TREATMENT?

MOXI™ is more gentle than other laser resurfacing procedures and is very well tolerated by most patients without the use of topical numbing cream.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT WITH THE MOXI™ LASER TREATMENT?

Our Master Aesthetician, Franki, can customize your treatment to match your goals. Having a lighter or more aggressive treatment will affect the amount of downtime each patient experiences. Immediately after MOXI™, it is normal for skin to feel slightly warm and appear flushed. The day following your treatment, your skin may feel very dry, almost like sandpaper. Depending on how deep your MOXI™ treatment was, you may also see tiny dots on your skin where the laser delivered stronger energy. As these dots heal, they will appear darker than the surrounding skin and feel rough. Within 3-5 days, damaged skin cells will slough away naturally, revealing the fresh, radiant skin beneath! A broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher must be worn to protect your skin after your treatment. Makeup may be applied 24 hours after your procedure, making MOXI™ very easy to fit into even the busiest schedules!

HOW MANY MOXI™ TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

The number of MOXI™ treatments you will need is dependent on the level of damage your skin currently has and your goals. Although most patients experience significant, visible results from a single treatment, we recommend 3-4 treatments for full, corrective results. An annual maintenance treatment is also recommended to maintain your results and prevent future damage.

CAN OTHER TREATMENTS BE PERFORMED WITH MOXI?

YES! Combining Broadband Light (BBL) with MOXI™ is a highly effective treatment pairing for total skin renewal. While BBL® evens out areas of the skin that have excess brown or red pigmentation, MOXI™ gently improves surface texture and overall smoothness. Book these treatments in a single appointment to achieve truly transformative results with minimal downtime!
