MOXI⢠Laser: Preventative Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation with Minimal Downtime
MOXI⢠is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment developed by Sciton, designed to deliver effective, low-downtime skin rejuvenation for all skin types. Itās an ideal choice for patients seeking preventative anti-aging (āpre-rejuvenation"), pigment correction, and long-term skin maintenance without aggressive lasers or extended recovery periods.
Available year-round and safe for Fitzpatrick skin types IāVI, MOXI is a versatile treatment that fits easily into any skincare regimen.
What is MOXI AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
MOXI uses a 1927nm non-ablative fractional laser to create controlled micro thermal zones in the skinās upper layers. These microscopic injuries activate your skinās natural healing response, promoting collagen production, cell turnover, and pigment suppression, all while persevering the integrity of the skinās surface.
This makes MOXI the ideal solution for:
⢠Treating early signs of aging
⢠Improving uneven skin tone and texture
⢠Reducing skin pigmentation and melasma
⢠Maintaining skin health between more aggressive procedures
Unlike other ablative lasers, MOXI does not remove skin layers, resulting in a gentle, comfortable experience with minimal downtime.

Redness for 1ā2 days
Slight skin dryness or roughness (known as MENDs: microscopic epidermal necrotic debris)

Aftercare Instructions:
Avoid sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily

Avoid hot environments (saunas, intense workouts) for 48 hours

Results and Maintenance
Patients typically see visible improvement after just one MOXI session. However, optimal results occur with a series of 3ā4 treatments. Results are cumulative ā each session improves skin tone, texture, and luminosity.
To maintain results, we recommend:
Quarterly or biannual maintenance treatments
Consistent use of medical-grade skincare and daily sun protection
Combination treatments with BBLĀ®, microneedling, or chemical peels
