Moxi Laser

About Moxi

Want to look your best but don’t know where to begin? Moxi is Sciton’s newest fractionated laser for revitalized skin. It’s a quick treatment with minimal downtime or discomfort.  Moxi reduces pigment and improves the skin’s overall tone and texture. The treatment is perfect if you’re looking to correct the initial signs of sun damage and aging—or if you want to upgrade your skincare regimen with a powerful solution for younger-looking skin. Performed year-round and on all skin types, men and women love their results!
Moxi is a gentle fractionated laser designed to effectively treat the visible signs of aging and produce evenly toned, radiant skin in as little as a single treatment—although 2-4 are recommended. It’s ideal for all patients of all skin types who are just beginning their skin care journey or those looking for a light resurfacing option that can be performed anytime of year. Yes, even during the hot summer months in Arizona. Moxi is also safe for Melasma pigmentation, unlike most laser treatments.

Concerns Treated with Moxi

A series of treatments are needed for optimal results. Our Laser Technicians are skilled in all areas of the body and experienced with concerns such as;

• Appearance of minor skin laxity
  
• Fine Lines & Wrinkles
• Poor texture
• Uneven complexion
• Signs of sun damage

The Treatment

Moxi appointments are usually about 1 hour, depending on the area being treated. The treatment itself only takes about 15-30 minutes but we do plan time for numbing beforehand. You can expect your skin to be red directly after the treatment and resemble the feeling of a sunburn. Expect to feel some heat during the actual treatment but overall it is very tolerable. You will have typically 1-3 days of downtime where you will be restricted from certain activities and makeup. After you are no longer red you may resume most normal activities and makeup.

Pre And Post Care Instructions

Pre-Care:

• Treatment cannot be performed on sunburned skin. Avoid direct sun exposure and/or tanning beds for at least two weeks prior treatment. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen everyday, 30 SPF or higher.
• Avoid the use of any Vitamin A products a week before treatment.
• Avoid wax or use of depilatories in the treatment area for 7 days prior to your appointment.
• Let us know if you have a history of cold sores, we will give you a prescription to take beginning 1 day prior to your procedure. The purpose of this medication is to decrease your risk of getting a flare up after your laser treatment.
• Inform your technician if you have ANY allergies including medications.
• A series of treatments is always recommended for best results.
• This laser treatment can be performed on all skin types

Post-Care:

• The day after Moxi, your skin may appear red, and, depending on your level of treatment, you may see the small micro dots called “mends” where the laser was applied.
• As the microzones heal, they will darken and feel rough.
• Between days 3 and 5, the mends will slough off, revealing new skin beneath.
• Wash your skin morning and night with a gentle cleanser. Keep your skin moisturized and apply your favorite physical barrier sunscreen.
