MOXI™ Laser Overview

Sciton’s MOXI™ laser is a state-of-the-art fractional laser treatment designed to enhance skin tone and texture. Unlike traditional ablative lasers, MOXI™ is non-ablative, meaning it does not create open wounds on the skin’s surface. Instead, it targets deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen production and cellular rejuvenation, leaving the surface mostly unaffected. This advanced technology helps repair damaged skin cells, refine texture, and reduce various imperfections such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation issues. Safe for all skin tones and types, MOXI™ also reduces precancerous lesions and corrects uneven pigmentation with minimal downtime, making it an effective and gentle option for noticeable skin improvements.

How MOXI™ Laser Works

The MOXI™ Laser employs non-ablative fractional technology to target deeper skin layers without damaging the surface. This approach ensures effective treatment with minimal discomfort and quicker recovery. Creating micro-injuries, it triggers the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production for a youthful glow. The laser delivers precise energy into the skin, effectively addressing fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and acne scars. Using fractional laser technology, MOXI™ provides controlled and targeted treatments, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of complications.

Benefits of MOXI™ Laser

MOXI™ Laser offers minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. It’s a lunchtime treatment that fits seamlessly into a busy lifestyle. Versatile and suitable for all skin types and tones, MOXI™ addresses uneven skin tones and fine lines, and brightens your complexion, giving your skin a youthful glow. It’s both preventative and corrective; regular sessions can maintain your skin’s youthful appearance by reducing sunspots, fine lines, and signs of aging. Treatments are comfortable, with most patients experiencing a mild warm tingling sensation. MOXI™ effectively rejuvenates the skin, enhancing tone and texture, minimizing pore size, and reducing pigmentation and sun damage. This non-invasive procedure is an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their skin health and refresh their look without downtime.

MOXI™ Laser vs. Other Procedures

Unlike traditional lasers, MOXI™ Laser provides a gentler approach to skin resurfacing. It offers similar benefits to more aggressive treatments but significantly less downtime and discomfort. Ideal for patients seeking effective results without the extended recovery time. MOXI™ uses specific wavelengths of light energy to rejuvenate the skin from below the surface, avoiding damage to the outer layer. This efficient healing process sets it apart from the harsher ablative resurfacing procedures.

Before, During, and After

What To Expect Before MOXI™ Laser

Before your MOXI™ treatment in The Woodlands, we’ll assess your skin goals and desired outcomes. Based on this assessment, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan. Before starting the treatment, we will initiate a therapeutic skincare plan to ensure optimal results. This includes avoiding sun exposure and discontinuing certain medications and skincare products. These steps are essential to maximize your results and begin your path to radiant, youthful skin.

What To Expect During MOXI™ Laser

During your MOXI™ Laser treatment at Woodlands Medical Aesthetics Institute, a skilled aesthetician will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. You’ll also wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. Next, the MOXI™ laser handpiece will be gently glided over the treatment area, delivering precise micro-pulses of fractionated laser energy. You might feel a mild tingling or warmth during the procedure, and a cold air chiller may be used for added comfort. The entire process typically takes 30 minutes or less, depending on the size of the treatment area.

What To Expect After MOXI™ Laser

After your MOXI™ treatment, you might notice some redness like a mild sunburn, which should fade quickly. Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you may observe tiny microdots, known as “mends,” where the laser was applied. These microzones will darken and become rough as they heal. By days 3 to 5, the mends will slough off, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. During the first few weeks post-treatment, wear moisturizing sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight. You can start wearing makeup 24 hours after the treatment. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, answer any questions, and guide you through your post-treatment skincare routine.
