About MOXI Laser Treatments

Sciton’s MOXI Laser is a gentle yet effective treatment for maintaining and improving skin health. This laser is a non-ablative 1927nm laser, a type of laser that has been shown to produce safe and effective results. (2) It works by delivering focused light energy into the skin at different targeted depths without affecting the outer skin. This stimulates natural healing responses that improve tone, texture, and clarity. Unlike more aggressive laser resurfacing procedures, MOXI treatments are often considered “prejuvenation,” meaning they are ideal for patients who want to prevent visible signs of aging before they become more pronounced. (3)

Because of its versatility, MOXI can be used on all skin types and at any time of year. The treatment typically takes no longer than 8 minutes for the face and involves little to no downtime, which makes it a convenient choice for patients with busy schedules.

The results of MOXI are noticeable yet natural. Patients often see a brighter, more even complexion within days, and continued improvement occurs over several weeks as the skin produces new collagen and elastin. With consistent treatments, MOXI can help patients maintain youthful-looking skin long term.

Preparation

Preparing for a MOXI Laser treatment is straightforward. Your Monarch specialist will give you specific instructions to ensure optimal results, which may include:

  • Avoiding excessive sun exposure or tanning in the weeks before treatment
  • Discontinuing retinoids or harsh skincare products as directed
  • Refraining from using self-tanning products on the treatment area
  • Arriving with clean, makeup-free skin
  • Following any additional skincare guidance from your provider

Although there is often not much preparation involved for this treatment, following any guidelines provided to you by the Monarch Plastics, Skin and Wellness staff will help set you up for a successful treatment process.

Procedure

When you arrive for your appointment, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort. The MOXI device will then be passed gently over your skin, delivering controlled laser energy. Patients often describe the sensation as warm with a mild prickling. The treatment typically takes about 8 minutes for the face, making it efficient and easy. Because MOXI is a non-ablative laser, it does not damage the surface of the skin. Instead, it stimulates natural healing from within, which leads to gradual improvements in tone, clarity, and texture.

Recovery

One of the greatest advantages of MOXI is the minimal downtime. After treatment, most patients notice mild redness and a warm feeling similar to a light sunburn, which usually subsides within 24 hours. Over the next few days, tiny micro-dots may appear on the skin as it renews itself, but these are temporary and a normal part of the healing process. Patients are free to resume most normal activities right after their session, including work and social events. It is important to use sunscreen and follow post-treatment skincare instructions to protect your results.

Results

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on your skin condition and goals, which will be discussed during your consultation. Many patients choose MOXI as part of their long-term skincare routine to maintain youthful, healthy-looking skin year-round.
