Proactive Aging with Moxi
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. It is a relatively gentle laser procedure that targets the early signs of aging, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and pigmentation. MOXI is often referred to as a “prejuvenation” treatment because it is suitable for individuals who are just beginning to notice the first signs of aging or want to maintain youthful, healthy-looking skin.
How MOXI Works
MOXI uses a non-ablative laser, meaning it does not remove the outer layer of skin. Instead, it delivers controlled laser energy to the skin’s deeper layers, creating micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing response. This process promotes collagen production and skin cell regeneration, resulting in improved skin tone and texture over time. The treatment is gentle enough for all skin types and can be adjusted based on the patient’s needs and goals.
Benefits of MOXI
- Improves Skin Tone and Texture: MOXI can help even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of pigmentation, sun spots, and other discolorations. It also smooths the skin texture by promoting the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells.
- Minimizes Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, MOXI can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a more youthful appearance.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: MOXI is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones that may be more susceptible to pigmentation changes with other laser treatments.
- Minimal Downtime: One of the key advantages of MOXI is its minimal downtime. Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
- Customizable Treatments: The MOXI laser can be adjusted to deliver varying levels of energy, allowing practitioners to customize treatments based on the patient’s skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. This makes it suitable for a range of skin conditions, from mild to moderate signs of aging.
- Gentle Preventative Care: MOXI is often used as a preventative treatment to maintain skin health and prevent the early signs of aging. It is gentle enough for younger patients or those looking to maintain their skin's youthful appearance without more aggressive treatments.
- Treats Various Skin Concerns: MOXI can address a range of skin issues, including:
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Early signs of aging
- Large pores
- Comfortable Procedure: The treatment is generally well-tolerated by patients, with most describing a mild warming sensation during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is often applied beforehand to ensure comfort.
What to Expect During and After MOXI Treatment
- During the Procedure: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. The MOXI device is then gently passed over the skin, delivering laser energy to the targeted areas. The entire procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
- After the Procedure: Patients may experience mild redness or a sunburn-like sensation immediately following the treatment, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. The skin may feel rough or dry as it heals, but these effects are temporary.
- Post-Treatment Care: It is important to follow post-treatment care instructions, which usually include using gentle skincare products, avoiding sun exposure, and applying sunscreen to protect the skin as it heals.
MOXI is an excellent option for those seeking a mild, effective laser treatment with minimal downtime, making it ideal for maintaining healthy, youthful skin or addressing early signs of aging.
