Lighten, Brighten and Refresh with Moxi™!
A Gentle Approach to Radiant Skin
Time to up your skin care routine! Moxi is the latest way to REVITALIZE AND REFRESH your skin’s appearance by correcting uneven pigmentation and improving tone and texture.
Is Moxi Right for You?
Moxi is designed to be one of the most inclusive laser treatments available, which is part of why so many patients ask about it by name. Because it delivers gentle, non-ablative energy, Moxi is considered safe for all skin types and tones, including patients who have been told they are not candidates for more aggressive resurfacing lasers. Ideal candidates are typically bothered by early sun damage, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores, rough texture, or the first fine lines of aging, and want meaningful improvement without the extended downtime of deeper treatments.
Moxi is also an excellent choice if you are simply trying to stay ahead of visible aging, a concept often called “prejuvenation.” You may be a good fit if you are in generally good health, do not have an active skin infection or uncontrolled skin condition in the treatment area, and are not currently pregnant. Patients with a history of cold sores, a tendency toward keloid scarring, or recent use of Accutane (isotretinoin) should mention this during their consultation, since these factors may require a short waiting period or treatment adjustment. The best way to know if Moxi is right for your skin is a customized consultation, where your practitioner can evaluate your goals, skin type, and medical history.

What Are the Benefits of Moxi?
Beyond its low downtime, Moxi offers a well-rounded list of benefits that make it the favorite “lunchtime laser” for busy patients. Because it works below the skin’s surface without removing the outer layer, most people can return to normal activities the same or next day with only mild redness or a light sandpaper texture.
- Improves uneven pigmentation, sun spots, and overall skin tone
- Smooths rough texture and refines the look of enlarged pores
- Softens the earliest fine lines before they become more pronounced
- Safe for use on all skin tones, including deeper skin types
- Can be performed year-round with proper sun protection
What Does Moxi Recovery Look Like?
One of the reasons patients love Moxi is its short, predictable recovery. Here is what you can generally expect in the days following treatment:
- Day of treatment: Skin may look and feel like a slight sunburn, with heat and light redness.
- Day 1: Redness typically continues, and tiny micro-dots (often called “MENDs”) may begin to appear where the laser was applied.
- Days 2 to 3: Treated areas often feel rough or gritty, similar to fine sandpaper, as the MENDs darken.
- Days 3 to 5: The MENDs naturally slough off, revealing smoother, more refreshed skin underneath. Avoid picking or exfoliating during this stage.
- Days 5 to 7 and beyond: Texture continues to smooth, and skin tone looks progressively more even as the deeper renewal process continues.
Because Moxi is non-ablative, most patients are comfortable wearing makeup within 24 hours and resuming their normal routine right away, making it easy to schedule a treatment around work or social commitments.
How Do You Maintain Long-Term Results After Moxi?
Many patients begin noticing brighter, more even-toned skin within the first 1 to 2 weeks, with fuller results developing over 3 to 6 weeks as your body continues to generate fresh, healthy skin cells. Because Moxi encourages your skin’s natural renewal process, results tend to build gradually and look completely natural rather than sudden.
For lasting results, most patients complete an initial series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance sessions throughout the year. Ongoing maintenance helps counteract new sun exposure and the natural aging process, so your skin continues to look refreshed well after your initial series. Combining your in-office treatments with a consistent daily sunscreen and a gentle, provider-recommended skincare routine at home is one of the best ways to protect your investment and extend your results.
Can Moxi Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Moxi is frequently combined with other cosmetic treatments to address multiple concerns at once and maximize your results. Because Moxi focuses on color and texture, it pairs especially well with treatments that target different layers or concerns of the skin.
- BBL (broadband light): Often combined with Moxi to address redness, brown spots, and overall pigmentation alongside texture improvement
- HALO or other resurfacing lasers: Can be used alongside or in a series with Moxi for patients seeking more dramatic resurfacing over time
- Neuromodulators like BOTOX®: A popular “prejuvenation” pairing that addresses fine lines and expression wrinkles while Moxi refines complexion and texture
- Dermal fillers: Can often be scheduled in the same visit or shortly before or after Moxi, depending on your practitioner’s recommendation
If you are also considering a surgical procedure, such as an eyelid lift, facelift, or breast surgery, it is important to mention this during your consultation. Your practitioner can help you sequence your treatments appropriately, since combining laser treatments with surgery may require additional spacing to support optimal healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Moxi delivers fractionated laser energy to create micro-coagulation zones which the body then repairs, replacing damaged cells with fresh new ones. Moxi is designed to provide tonal and textural improvements to your face with low downtime, resulting in skin renewal.
Depending on the level of treatment provided, most patients find the treatment well tolerated. Your practitioner may use cooling air and recommend numbing cream to help ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
Results vary depending on your treatment goals. For the day following your treatment, your skin may appear red and, depending on your level of treatment, you may see the small micro dots called mendz where the laser was applied. As the micro zones heal, they will darken and feel rough. Between days 3-5, the mendz will slough off, revealing the renewed skin beneath.
Because this is a non-ablative fractionated treatment, the post care regimen is simple. Wear a moisturizing physical sunscreen and stay out of the sun. You may wear makeup 24 hours after your treatment.
This will depend on your treatment goals and level of damage. Most patients receive 3-4 corrective treatments, then often will sign up for regular maintenance treatments throughout the year.
Yes. Moxi is designed to be safe for all skin tones, including deeper and more richly pigmented skin that is often not a candidate for more aggressive ablative lasers. Because Moxi delivers gentle, non-ablative energy, the risk of unwanted pigment changes is lower than with many other resurfacing options, though your practitioner will still customize the treatment settings to your specific skin type. A thorough consultation ensures the energy level chosen is equally effective and appropriate for your complexion.
Moxi can be a helpful part of a melasma management plan for some patients, but melasma is a complex, hormonally influenced condition that calls for careful evaluation before treatment. In some cases, laser treatments can temporarily worsen melasma if settings are not properly calibrated, so it is important to disclose any history of melasma or pregnancy-related pigmentation during your consultation. Your practitioner may recommend a preparatory skincare routine or an different treatment approach to safely manage your pigmentation.
Good preparation assures you get the most out of your treatment and supports smooth healing. In general, patients are asked to avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for about two weeks before treatment, discontinue self-tanners, and pause retinoids or other strong active skincare ingredients for several days beforehand. You should also let your practitioner know about any recent injectable treatments, new medications, or history of cold sores, since these can affect timing or demand extra precautions before your session.
In many cases, yes, Moxi can be scheduled close to your BOTOX® or filler appointments, and some practitioners even perform them on the same visit as part of a “prejuvenation” treatment plan. However, timing can differ based on the specific product used and the areas treated, so it is best to inform about any recent or upcoming injectable appointments when you book your Moxi treatment. Your practitioner can advise on the ideal sequence and spacing to protect your results and support comfortable healing.
Moxi treats the surface color and texture of your skin rather than facial volume or body contouring, so moderate weight changes generally do not affect your results. Tanning, however, does matter. Treating recently tanned or sun-exposed skin increases the risk of uneven pigmentation, which is why practitioners ask patients to avoid tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure for about two weeks before treatment and consistently protect their skin with sunscreen after treatment. Scheduling your Moxi series during a season when you can commit to diligent sun protection will help you get the most even, lasting results.
Moxi is a facial and skin-focused laser treatment and is not directly related to breast or body procedures, such as implant removal, but many patients choose to combine their comprehensive aesthetic journey by scheduling a Moxi series around the time of a surgical procedure. Because healing from surgery and healing from a laser treatment both place demands on your body, it is important to discuss your full treatment timeline with your practitioner so sessions can be spaced appropriately. This helps ensure you are healing well from any surgical procedure before introducing an additional laser treatment.
Yes, Moxi is commonly used on delicate areas such as under the eyes, the neck, and the chest, where sun damage and uneven texture often show up first. Because the laser settings can be adjusted for thinner, more sensitive skin, your practitioner will tailor the treatment intensity to each area to keep you comfortable while still achieving meaningful improvement. If you have particular concerns about a sensitive area, mention it during your consultation so your treatment plan can be customized accordingly.
