Moxi

• As your provider glides the Moxi laser across the skin, you may feel a slight warming sensation.
• Moxi creates tiny treatment zones in the skin, and the skin's natural renewal replaces them with fresh, healthy-looking skin.

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

DO

• Use a gentle cleanser with light pressure to cleanse the skin.
• Keep using a hydrating cream, as your skin may feel tight and dry.
• Makeup can be worn 24 hours after your treatment.
• Wear sunscreen.

AVOID

• Strenuous exercise and sweating for at least 24 hours; gently pat sweat off treated skin.
• Saunas, swimming, hot tubs and hot yoga for 24 hours.
• Prolonged sun exposure for 4 weeks after treatment.
• Scratching or picking, as this can lead to scarring or pigment changes.

EXPECT

• Warmth usually lasts 1-2 hours after treatment. Cold compresses can help.
• Redness is normal and can last up to 7 days. Use gentle cleansers and keep your skin hydrated and out of the sun.
• Tiny dark spots and a bronzed look (called MENDS) usually appear on day 2 or 3. This is a normal part of the skin's renewal. Your skin may feel dry and rough, like sandpaper, before it flakes off. Keep your skin well moisturized and do not pick.
• Once flaking is complete, you can return to your full skincare routine.
• Contact the clinic with any concerns, such as blistering or excessive redness or swelling.

How long does the treatment take?

It can take as little as 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Treatment time varies from patient to patient.

What will happen during the treatment?

Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. Numbing cream may be applied 30-45 minutes before your Moxi treatment to keep you comfortable, and you may feel brief warmth during treatment. Your provider will discuss your options with you, including the benefits, risks and what to expect.

What should I expect after the treatment?

You will have some redness. Some spots may darken, then fade and flake off. Moxi creates tiny treatment zones in the skin, and the skin's natural renewal replaces them with fresh, healthy-looking skin. Results depend on your skin type, the number of treatments and the area treated, and your provider will give you full aftercare instructions.

How long will it take to recover?

Recovery is usually 2-4 days, and you can wear makeup 24 hours after treatment.

What aftercare do I need?

Wear a moisturizing physical sunscreen and stay out of the sun. You may wear makeup 24 hours after treatment.

Do I need a consultation?

A consultation is required before treatment, or a Pre-Treatment Consultation & Skin Preparation Appointment if you are an existing patient.
