BBL vs. MOXI: Which Laser Treatment Is Right for Your Skin Concerns?

Sculptra in Baltimore, MD.

Laser skin rejuvenation is no longer one-size-fits-all. Sciton BBL HERO and MOXI laser in Baltimore are each designed to address a wide range of skin concerns, such as sun damage, uneven tone, dullness, and fine lines at MD Center for Facial Plastic Surgery. But how do you know which treatment is right for your skin type, or whether a combination of both offers the best results?

Let’s break down how these two leading laser platforms compare and why many patients choose to pair them for optimal skin rejuvenation.

What is BBL HERO? BroadBand Light for Surface Clarity

Sciton BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) is an advanced broadband light (BBL) treatment that delivers high-intensity pulses of light to target a wide spectrum of skin concerns. Unlike traditional IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), BBL HERO offers faster, more efficient treatment with greater comfort and superior results. It is one of the most effective non-invasive options available for correcting sun damage, pigmentation, and vascular lesions across multiple treatment areas, including the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

This technology works by delivering light energy deep into the skin’s layers, where it breaks up melanin and coagulates unwanted blood vessels, resulting in clearer, brighter skin with an even tone. Over time, it also stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines, redness, and dullness.

BBL HERO is ideal for patients with:

  • Age spots
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Redness and broken capillaries
  • Freckles and pigmentation issues
  • Rosacea
  • Uneven skin tone and texture

The BBL HERO is safe for a range of skin types and offers customizable settings to match individual aesthetic goals. With no required downtime and visible improvement after just one session, it’s a top choice for patients seeking laser skin rejuvenation in Baltimore and beyond.

Meet MOXI: Non-Ablative Fractional Laser for Deeper Renewal

MOXI is Sciton’s gentle yet highly effective non-ablative fractional laser, designed to treat early signs of aging, sun damage, and textural irregularities without disrupting the surface of the skin. MOXI works at a 1927 nm wavelength, targeting water within the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling, skin cell regeneration, and long-term skin rejuvenation.

This laser is part of the next generation of non-ablative fractional technology, meaning it heats the deeper layers of the skin without removing the top layer. This makes it a great option for patients who want to improve skin clarity and tone with minimal recovery time.

MOXI is especially beneficial for:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and melasma
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Mild skin laxity
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide variety of skin tones, including darker skin types, and it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin or those undergoing treatment for the first time. MOXI also helps improve the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and when used in a treatment series, patients report smoother, more luminous skin with lasting improvement.

Whether used alone or paired with BBL HERO, MOXI offers a powerful solution for collagen stimulation, skin renewal, and enhancing your skin’s overall health and vibrancy, without the downtime of more aggressive treatments like CO2 lasers.

Should You Combine BBL and MOXI?

While each treatment works beautifully on its own, combining BBL and MOXI creates a comprehensive approach to laser skin rejuvenation. BBL addresses surface-level discoloration and redness, while MOXI dives deeper to improve texture, tone, and collagen regeneration. Together, they target both visible damage and underlying aging processes, delivering smoother, brighter, more youthful skin without the need for aggressive treatments like CO2 lasers or surgery.

This combination is also ideal for treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and scars, making it a popular choice among patients looking for an all-in-one solution.
