Moxi® Laser Treatment

Moxi is a state-of-the-art laser treatment that utilizes non-ablative (noninvasive) fractional laser energy to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. As a gentle yet effective option, Moxi is designed to deliver prejuvenation and rejuvenation, helping to prevent and address common signs of aging. Its versatility and safety make it an excellent choice for people of all skin types and tones.

Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, Moxi operates with low-level energy settings to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. This makes it ideal for individuals looking for noticeable results with little to no disruption to their daily lives.

Moxi laser treatment is highly effective for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Moxi reduces the appearance of early wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
• Uneven Skin Tone: The laser evens out pigmentation irregularities caused by sun damage, melasma, or other factors, resulting in a more uniform complexion.
• Texture Issues: Moxi improves skin texture, minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores and roughness.
• Sun Damage: By targeting pigmented lesions and sunspots, Moxi helps restore a youthful, clear appearance.
• Preventative Care: Moxi is also used as a “prejuvenation” tool for younger individuals who want to maintain their skin’s youthful appearance and delay the onset of visible aging.

Moxi laser treatment is quick, comfortable, and straightforward, making it an ideal option for those with busy schedules. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

1. Consultation: Before the treatment, our dermatologists will perform a thorough skin analysis and discuss your goals to determine if Moxi is the right option for you.
2. Preparation: On the day of the treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort, although many patients find Moxi to be tolerable without numbing.
3. Treatment: The Moxi device is gently passed over the treatment area, delivering controlled laser energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, your skin may feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn which typically resolves within 24-48 hours. A soothing serum or moisturizer will be applied to enhance comfort and hydration.

One of the primary benefits of Moxi is its ability to deliver impressive results with minimal downtime. Over the first few days your skin may develop a sandpaper-like texture as the treated cells are naturally exfoliated. This is a normal part of the process and typically subsides within a week. As your skin heals, you will begin to notice improvements in texture, tone, and overall radiance.

For optimal results, a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended. Many patients also choose to schedule maintenance treatments to sustain their results over time.

Moxi laser treatment is considered safe and effective for most individuals. Rarely, some individuals may experience hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, or prolonged redness, particularly if post-treatment care instructions are not followed. At Ironwood Dermatology, we provide detailed aftercare guidelines to help minimize any risks and ensure optimal healing.
