Sciton® MOXI™ laser

What is the MOXI laser?

Sciton’s MOXI is a 1927nm fractionated laser that gently treats visible signs of aging, uneven skin tone, and damaged skin. Effective for the face and body, MOXI treatment addresses skin concerns such as:

Pigmentation and sun damage
Skin laxity issues
Texture issues
Uneven skin tone
Wrinkles and other signs of aging

Am I a candidate for the MOXI laser?

MOXI uses a wavelength of non-ablative, fractionated laser energy to create micro-coagulation areas in the skin. Following treatment, the body will naturally heal these areas and replace damaged cells with healthy skin.

If you are just starting your skin care journey or are looking for a light resurfacing option that can be received throughout the year, MOXI is a great option for all skin types. MOXI can also be an effective compliment to your existing skin care routine.

What can I expect during MOXI laser treatment?

MOXI treatment typically takes around 8-10 minutes for most patients, with little to no downtime afterward. As the MOXI laser is glided across your skin, you may feel a slight warming sensation. This means the laser is working. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and very tolerable. A numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area before the procedure to minimize discomfort.

Results will vary depending on your level of treatment, but most see noticeable results within five to seven days. Following your laser session, your skin may appear red, and you may notice small dots called “mends” where the laser was used. As the area heals, it will darken and feel rough. Between days three and five, the mends will start shedding and reveal renewed skin. To help heal and protect the area, wash your skin each morning and night with a gentle cleanser. Keep your skin moisturized and use sunscreen when outdoors.

For best results, most patients will need three to four MOXI treatments (spaced four to five weeks apart), followed by regular maintenance treatments. Discuss your skin goals with your clinician or specialist, and they can suggest an ideal treatment regimen.
