Gentle Resurfacing for Brighter, More Radiant Skin
You don’t have to wait for significant signs of aging to start taking care of your skin. MOXI® is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser designed to improve the appearance of early signs of sun damage, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, and texture while helping maintain a healthy, radiant complexion.
At LAK Med Spa in Wayzata, MN, MOXI is a favorite for patients looking for noticeable skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Whether you’re new to laser treatments or looking for a regular skin-maintenance treatment, MOXI can be customized to your skin and your goals.
What Is MOXI?
MOXI is a 1927 nm fractional non-ablative laser by Sciton. Unlike more aggressive resurfacing lasers, MOXI is designed to create controlled micro-treatment zones in the skin without removing the entire surface layer.
The 1927 nm wavelength is highly absorbed by water within the skin. This allows MOXI to work within the superficial layers of the skin and stimulate the body’s natural renewal process.
MOXI is designed to improve the appearance of:
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough or uneven texture
- Early signs of aging
- Dull-looking skin
- Visible pores
- Certain pigmentation concerns associated with melasma
MOXI can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, legs, and other areas of the body, depending on your individual treatment plan.
How Does MOXI Work?
MOXI delivers fractional 1927 nm laser energy into the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
These controlled zones encourage the skin’s natural healing and renewal processes. As the skin recovers, it can appear smoother, brighter, and more even.
Because MOXI is non-ablative, the outer layer of skin remains intact. This allows for a more gentle resurfacing experience and significantly less downtime than more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
What Can MOXI Treat?
Sun Damage & Pigmentation
Years of sun exposure can leave behind uneven pigmentation and visible signs of skin damage. MOXI can target superficial pigmentation and help create a more even-looking complexion.
Uneven Skin Tone
If your complexion looks blotchy or uneven, MOXI can help refresh the overall appearance of your skin and promote a brighter, more uniform tone.
Texture
MOXI creates microscopic treatment zones that stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. This can help improve the appearance of rough or uneven texture over time.
Early Signs of Aging
MOXI is especially popular as a prejuvenation treatment—meaning it can be incorporated into a skincare routine before more significant signs of aging develop.
It can also be used as an ongoing maintenance treatment for patients who want to keep their skin looking fresh, smooth, and radiant.
Dull or Tired-Looking Skin
Sometimes your skin simply needs a reset. MOXI can help refresh the appearance of dull skin and bring back a brighter, healthier-looking glow.
What Is a MOXI Treatment Like?
Your treatment begins with a consultation so your provider can evaluate your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine the appropriate treatment settings.
During your MOXI treatment, the laser handpiece is gently passed across the treatment area. You may feel warmth, heat, or a prickling sensation as the laser energy is delivered.
MOXI treatments are relatively quick. Sciton describes the treatment itself as approximately 8–10 minutes, depending on the treatment, with the overall appointment taking longer when preparation or numbing is included.
For some treatment settings, a topical anesthetic may be recommended to improve comfort.
What Can I Expect After MOXI?
Immediately following treatment, your skin may feel warm and appear pink or mildly red.
Over the following days, you may notice a rough or sandpaper-like texture as the skin goes through its natural renewal process. Small darkened areas of pigmentation may also become more noticeable before gradually shedding or fading.
Downtime is generally minimal compared with more aggressive resurfacing treatments, and many patients return to their normal activities quickly. Your provider will give you personalized post-treatment instructions based on your treatment intensity and skin.
Consistent sun protection is especially important after laser treatments. Wearing sunscreen and limiting direct sun exposure can help protect your skin while it heals and help maintain your results.
When Will I See Results?
MOXI is designed to provide both immediate refreshment and gradual improvement.
Some patients notice their skin looking brighter and more radiant relatively soon after treatment. As your skin continues its natural renewal process, improvements in tone, pigmentation, and texture can become more noticeable.
Sciton recommends a series of 2–4 treatments for many patients, although your ideal treatment plan will depend on your individual skin, concerns, and goals.
Your provider may recommend treatments spaced apart to allow your skin adequate time to recover and renew between sessions.
MOXI for Prejuvenation
You don’t have to wait until you have significant wrinkles or advanced sun damage to start investing in your skin.
MOXI is often used as part of a prejuvenation approach—helping patients address early signs of sun exposure and aging while maintaining their skin’s overall appearance.
It’s an excellent option for patients who want to be proactive about their skin rather than waiting until concerns become more pronounced.
MOXI + BBL HERO
For patients with multiple skin concerns, MOXI can be paired with BBL HERO for a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
While BBL HERO uses BroadBand Light to target concerns such as pigmentation, redness, and visible vessels, MOXI uses a 1927 nm fractional laser to address superficial pigmentation, tone, and texture.
Because the technologies work differently, combining them can allow your provider to address multiple aspects of skin quality in one customized treatment plan.
Your provider will determine whether combining treatments is appropriate for your skin.
Who May Be a Candidate for MOXI?
MOXI may be a good option for patients who want to improve the appearance of:
- Sun damage
- Uneven pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough or uneven texture
- Dull-looking skin
- Early signs of aging
- Certain pigmentation concerns
- Overall skin quality
It can be particularly appealing if you’re looking for a laser treatment with minimal downtime or if you’re new to laser resurfacing.
MOXI is designed for a broad range of skin types and can be used year-round with appropriate pre- and post-treatment care. Your provider will evaluate your skin to determine whether MOXI is appropriate for you.
