MOXI offers a modern, preventative approach to improving skin texture, pigmentation, and overall rejuvenation. It’s ideal for those looking to maintain youthful skin, address early signs of aging, or correct pigmentation without aggressive resurfacing.
The treatment is especially well-suited for individuals with active lifestyles, as it delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime — allowing you to return quickly to your daily routine.
MOXI uses a 1927 nm fractional thulium laser wavelength to create controlled microthermal zones in the skin. This fractional action stimulates cellular turnover and collagen production while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing.
Because the treatment is fractional and non-ablative, it rejuvenates the skin without creating open wounds or significant downtime. Skin appears brighter, smoother, and more refreshed within days.
No. MOXI is a non-ablative fractional thulium laser that provides gentle resurfacing without removing the top layer of skin. Compared to more aggressive ablative lasers, it offers minimal downtime while still delivering visible improvements in tone, texture, and pigmentation.
Thulium laser treatments are generally very well tolerated and far more comfortable compared to traditional resurfacing lasers. The procedure is non-ablative, meaning it does not break the skin’s surface — there is no bleeding and no open wounds, making it a gentler option with minimal downtime.
Recovery is minimal. Mild redness and a sandpaper-like texture may last 2–5 days. The skin may appear slightly darker before gentle flaking reveals brighter, smoother skin underneath.
Your treatment can be elevated with advanced regenerative add-ons such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PDRN, exosomes, and other targeted serums. These enhancements are carefully selected and tailored to your unique skin concerns to boost results, accelerate recovery, and maximize overall skin rejuvenation.
Absolutely. MOXI pairs beautifully with other treatments to enhance and customize your results. It can be combined with BBL (BroadBand Light) to target pigmentation and sun damage, vascular or redness lasers to address rosacea and overall redness, and even professional extractions for clearer, healthier-looking skin.
