How is MOXI® different from traditional laser resurfacing treatments like CO2 or Contour TRL?
MOXI® is a non-ablative laser, meaning it targets the water in skin cells beneath the surface without removing layers of skin. This makes it significantly gentler than ablative lasers like CO2 or Contour TRL, which require longer downtime and are typically used for deeper wrinkles or scarring.
Can MOXI® help with melasma?
Yes—MOXI can be an excellent option for melasma-prone patients, especially those who need a low-heat, non-inflammatory treatment approach. While no laser fully "cures" melasma, MOXI can help reduce pigment when paired with a carefully curated skincare regimen and sun protection.
Is MOXI® safe for use on areas other than the face?
Absolutely. MOXI is effective on the neck, chest, hands, arms, and even back—anywhere you notice sun damage, uneven tone, or early signs of aging. We’ll customize your treatment to address your full aesthetic concerns.
Can MOXI® be part of a pre-event skincare plan?
Yes, with proper timing. Because there’s minimal downtime, MOXI is ideal for pre-event glow-ups, such as weddings, reunions, or vacations. We typically recommend scheduling your treatment 7–10 days before your event for optimal results.
How does MOXI® compare to chemical peels for skin tone correction?
Unlike peels that rely on chemical exfoliation, MOXI uses controlled laser energy to stimulate cellular turnover and collagen production from within. It’s often better tolerated, more precise, and suitable for a broader range of skin tones and types.
How soon can I resume my full skincare routine after MOXI®?
You can return to most of your skincare products—like gentle cleansers and moisturizers—immediately. However, retinol, acids, and exfoliants should be paused for about 5–7 days or until the skin is fully healed. We’ll give you personalized post-care instructions.
