What is the MOXI Laser?

The MOXI Laser by Sciton is a gentle yet effective fractional laser treatment that revitalizes the skin by addressing early signs of sun damage and aging, improving skin tone and texture, and providing an overall brighter complexion. Unlike more intensive laser treatments, MOXI is specifically tailored for those seeking a less aggressive option yet still delivers significant results and beautiful skin.

The non-ablative laser technology stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production without extensive recovery time. This makes MOXI an ideal choice for patients looking for a quick refresh with long-lasting benefits.

Maryland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery is proud to offer this and other Sciton laser treatments to patients living in Towson, Columbia, Baltimore, and the nearby areas of Maryland. Dr. Samuel Hahn and the rest of our team are here to help you achieve your cosmetic goals.

A MOXI Laser procedures are quick and straightforward, often described as a perfect lunchtime procedure. Before the treatment, numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. The MOXI device is then gently passed over the targeted areas, delivering laser energy that penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

The entire process typically takes about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area’s size. Patients report feeling a warm sensation during the procedure but with minimal discomfort.

What Results Can I Expect from MOXI Laser Treatments?

Following a single treatment, patients will notice an immediate improvement in their skin’s texture and tone. Unwanted pigment will become lighter over time with each session, making this an effective treatment for dark spots and discoloration.

The skin will appear brighter and more radiant, with continued improvements seen over the following weeks as new production of collagen and cell growth further refines the skin’s appearance.

For optimal results, a series of 3-4 treatments may be recommended, depending on individual goals and level of damage. Regular maintenance treatments can also help to prolong your results, as your skin health is everchanging.

Is There Any Downtime After MOXI Laser Treatments?

MOXI treatments are best for patients with the beginning signs of photodamage who don’t yet need aggressive laser treatments. The mild side effects you may experience are highly dependent on the level of treatment provided.

Days after treatment, the post-process includes minimal swelling, textural roughness, and mild flaking, however, there is little-to-no downtime with this gentle treatment. The patient often experiences discoloration in some areas, otherwise known as MENDS, which typically disappears within a week.

It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure after treatments and always use a physical sunscreen to protect your fresh skin cells from further damage.
