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.

DO

• Use a gentle cleanser with light pressure to cleanse the skin.
• Make-up can be worn 24 hours after your treatment.
• Continue to use your skin hydrating cream as your skin may feel tight and dry.
• Make-up can be worn 24 hours after your treatment.
• Wear sunscreen.

AVOID

• Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for at least 24 hours, use gentle patting to wipe sweat off treated skin.
• Avoid saunas, swimming, hot tubs and hot yoga fo 24 hours.
• Prolonged sun exposure is to be avoided for 4 weeks after treatment.
• Avoid scratching and itching, as scarring and pigmentation complications can occur.

EXPECT

• The heat generally last 1-2 hours after the procedure. Cold compresses may provide comfort during this time.
• Redness is normal and expected. Redness can persist fo up to 7 days depending on the intensity of treatment. Use gentle cleansers and keep your skin hydrated and out of the sun.
• MENDS (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) will appear on the 2nd or 3rd day after treatment as tiny dark spots and bronzed appearance to the treated skin. MENDS are part of the healing process where treated tissue is working its way out of your body as new fresh skin is regenerated. During this time, your skin will feel very dry and feel like sandpaper before flaking and peeling off. Keep your skin well moisturized to support the healing process. Do not pick at your skin.
• Once the skin has healed, and the MENDs have naturally come off, you are able to resume your full skincare regimen.
• Notify us of any concerns (blistering, excessive redness/swelling, etc.)
