If you’re looking for a gentle, effective way to revitalize your skin, MOXI™ might be the perfect solution!
This innovative laser treatment is designed to rejuvenate your skin while helping to prevent early signs of aging.
Perfect for all skin types and lifestyles, MOXI delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about MOXI—from how to prepare for your treatment to your recovery.
What Is MOXI™?
MOXI is a non-ablative fractionated laser treatment that’s as gentle as it is effective. This 1927nm-wavelength laser precisely targets small areas of the skin, stimulating cell turnover and collagen production.
This process helps your skin exfoliate naturally, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
Often called a “prejuvenation” treatment, MOXI is perfect for maintaining youthful skin and addressing early signs of aging. However, MOXI can be effective on people of any age!
It’s highly versatile, working on all skin types and tones, and it can be used on virtually any area of the face or body.
Whether you’re looking to even out skin tone, reduce sun damage, minimize large pores, or improve overall texture, MOXI has you covered.
While many people see noticeable improvements after just one session, most providers recommend a series of 2-4 treatments for optimal results.
MOXI’s gentle approach makes it a top choice for anyone seeking a glowing, refreshed look with minimal downtime.
Preparing for Your MOXI Treatment
At The Ageless Center, every treatment starts with an initial consultation so we can assess your skin and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
Here are a few key steps to follow before your appointment:
- Stop using retinol, exfoliants, tanning products (including tanning beds and self-tanners), waxing, or depilatory creams at least 14 days before your session.
- Avoid painkillers like aspirin or ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E, and blood thinners 5-7 days before treatment.
- On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to ensure the treatment can be performed safely and effectively.
These simple steps help prepare your skin and body for the best possible MOXI experience, setting the stage for beautiful, rejuvenated results.
What Happens During the Treatment?
We start by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove any impurities.
Once your skin is prepped, you’ll be given protective goggles to shield your eyes during the procedure.
The MOXI laser is then applied in short, controlled passes over the treatment area. As the laser works its magic, you might feel a mild warmth or a gentle prickling sensation.
Most patients find the treatment to be easily tolerable, with minimal discomfort.
The entire process typically takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. MOXI’s efficient design ensures that your session is as smooth and quick as possible, leaving you with glowing skin and minimal downtime.
Post-Treatment Experience
After your MOXI treatment, you can expect some mild and temporary effects as your skin begins its healing and rejuvenation process.
Initially, you may feel a sensation similar to a mild sunburn for around 90 minutes. Slight redness or swelling is common for the first 12-24 hours. You can safely apply makeup to your skin the following day.
After 5-7 days, your skin will be clear and looking great. After 2 weeks, you will notice the full benefits of the treatment with glowing skin.
During the first few days, you might also notice tiny dark spots called MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris). Don’t worry! These are dead skin cells being naturally shed as your body makes way for fresh, healthy skin.
As your skin exfoliates naturally, you may feel a slight roughness or a “sandpaper-like” texture, which is completely normal. Avoid scratching or picking at your skin, as this can cause scarring and delay the healing process.
To stay comfortable, you can use painkillers or cold compresses as directed by your provider.
Aftercare Tips for Best Results
Proper aftercare is key to maximizing the benefits of your MOXI treatment.
Here’s how to ensure your skin heals beautifully and stays protected:
- Keep your skin hydrated: Use a gentle cleanser and a soothing moisturizer to maintain hydration and support the healing process.
- Protect your skin from the sun: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Pair it with a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection, especially in the two months following your treatment.
- Be gentle with your skincare routine: Avoid harsh products, such as exfoliants or strong active ingredients, for a few days to prevent irritation.
- Follow your provider’s instructions: Every skin type is unique, so stick to the guidelines your provider gives you for the best healing and results.
- Resume makeup once peeling is complete: Once your skin has fully exfoliated and the “peeling” process is over, you can safely start wearing makeup again.
These simple steps will help your skin heal smoothly while enhancing the radiant, refreshed look that MOXI delivers.
How Soon Will You See Results?
Most patients notice visible improvements in skin tone and texture within 3-5 days as the skin brightens and heals. These early changes include smoother texture, more even tone, and a refreshed appearance.
But your skin’s improvement doesn’t stop there. As collagen production ramps up over the following weeks, you can expect further enhancements in firmness and overall radiance. With proper care and sun protection, your results can last even longer.
For an extra boost, MOXI can be paired with treatments like BBL HEROic™. This powerful combination targets multiple layers of the skin, enhancing both tone and texture for even more dramatic results.
With MOXI, you’re on the path to healthier, glowing skin in no time!
