Moxi

• During the treatment, as the provider glides the Moxi laser across the skin, you may feel a slight warming sensation, which means the laser is doing its job.
• Moxi creates micro-coagulation zones in the skin—the body naturally repairs these zones and replaces damaged cells with healthy, vibrant skin.

We’ll first clean your skin of any makeup and moisturizers. For male clients, you’ll need to shave in order for us to treat your lower face. Numbing cream will be applied to your canvas.

AVOID

• Use of topical skin care products containing retin-A, retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for 1 week
• Prolonged sun exposure is to be avoided for 4 weeks after treatment

EXPECT

• The heat generally last 1-3 hours after the procedure
• The redness generally last 24 hours after the procedure
• Brown patches or spots will look darker and more pronounced immediately following Moxi treatment
• In 2-3 days, these brown areas become even darker and frequently feel scaly like coffee grounds on your skin. Within 1 week, these dark, scaly areas fall off and leave new, healthy skin behind. No matter how tempting, do not pick or scrub these brown spots. Let them come off on their own
• Some patients will wake up with facial swelling, particularly around the eyes for several days following the treatment. This is normal and usually resolves within 3-5 days.

Notify us of any concerns (blistering, excessive redness/swelling, etc.)

How long does the treatment take?

It can take as little as 15 minutes, depending on the area you are looking to treat, as well as the treatment you are receiving. Treatment time varies from patient to patient.

What will happen during the procedure?

Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. You may briefly feel a warm sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. A topical numbing cream may be applied to your skin 30-45 minutes before your Moxi treatment. This combination will help keep you comfortable.Your physician will discuss all of your options with you including the benefits, risks and what to expect.

What should I expect after the treatment?

You will experience redness. For some spots, you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. Moxi creates micro-coagulation zones in the skin—the body naturally repairs these zones and replaces damaged cells with healthy, vibrant skin. Results depend on your skin type, the number of treatments, and the area treated. Your physician will provide you with complete information about the post treatment care and results.

How long will it take to recover?

You can wear makeup 24 hrs after the treatment, with 2-4 days recovery.

What aftercare plan do I need?

Your post-care regimen is simple: Wear a moisturizing physical sunscreen and stay out of the sun. You may wear makeup 24 hours after treatment.
