MOXI

MOXI is a cutting edge laser treatment designed for everyone! It effectively reduces visible sign of aging, generating evenly toned skin, reducing uneven pigmentation, correcting the initial signs of sun damage, and promoting new cell growth by using micro pulses of fractionated laser energy.  MOXI is able to target brown spots, improving vascularity, pore size and texture during winter, spring, summer or fall.  This is done with a gentle approach using the newest state of the art laser resurfacing technology, delivering non ablative laser energy comfortably, with minimal downtime and without the recovery associated with more aggressive laser treatments.  This treatment is ideal for ALL skin types ANY time of the year!  

This innovative treatment is an optimal way to refresh your skins appearance in as little as a single treatment.  For more correction in the skin, 2-3 treatments are recommended.  Moxi is one of the only treatments used to safely and effectively treat melasma, when there are very few options for this skin condition.

HOW TO PREPARE:

Two weeks prior to your appointment, avoid the following:

• Sun exposure

• Tanning beds

• Patient should not be any medication that increases photosensitivity – Treatment may be done 2 weeks after last dose.
• You must reschedule if you have any active cold sores. 
• Discontinue use of any retinols or retinoids 2 days prior.  

THE PROCEDURE ~ WHAT TO EXPECT:

A topical numbing cream may be applied to your skin 30-45 minutes before your MOXI treatment, depending on the goals you have discussed with your provider.  

During the treatment, you may feel a slight warming sensation, as the Moxi creates micro-coagulation zones in the skin.  The body naturally repairs these zones and replaces the damaged cells with healthy revived skin.  

THE RECOVERY ~ WHAT TO EXPECT:

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

• Your skin may be red and feel hot with inflammation throughtout the first day and/or day after, depending on your level of treatment.  
• Skin may be itchy and feel like sandpaper
• Swelling is common
• You will begin to notice dark brown micro dots called “mends”.  
• Between day 3 and 5, the mends will slough off, and new skin will be revealed.  
• The healing process typically takes 5-7 days.  

HOW TO CARE: 

• Wash your skin morning and night with a gentle cleanser and keep your skin moisturized. 
• ALWAYS wear SPF & avoid sun exposure 2 weeks post treatment. 
• Cold compresses may be used as needed.  
• DO NOT exfoliate, scratch or pick off MENDS, as doing so may induce post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, scarring and/or infection.  
• NO hot showers or exercise for the first 48 hours.  
• Use only recommended aftercare products.  
• Sleep on a clean pillow case, elevate to reduce swelling.
• Following your treatment, an ice pack may be applied to the treated area if desired.  For best results, avoid anything that could create heat in the skin tissue for 72 hours.  This includes: exercise, spicy foods, alcohol, hot showers & baths.
