Combine Treatments To Maximize Your Results

It is essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by a credentialed provider. This includes avoiding direct sun exposure, using broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen and maintaining a consistent skincare routine to enhance and prolong the benefits of the treatment.

MOXI pairs beautifully with BBL® HERO for pigment and redness, and can be sequenced with microneedling or Morpheus8 as part of a personalized plan.

The Importance of Aftercare & Skin Safety

All laser therapies require strict SPF and sun-smart habits post-treatment. Expect a “sandpaper” feel for 1–2 days; makeup is typically fine after 24 hours. Our team will outline simple skincare to support a comfortable recovery.

MOXI vs. HALO®: Which Is Right For You?

Concern MOXI HALO
Primary Focus Brightening, pigment, early texture Deeper texture, lines, scars
Skin Types Safe across I–VI, melasma-friendly Great for fair–medium tones; deeper resurfacing
Downtime 0–2 days with dryness/flakiness 3–7 days social downtime
Comfort Low; topical numbing Moderate; more intense treatment
Timing & Seasonality First-time lasers, maintenance, year-round When you can pause your routine for deeper change

Yes, MOXI can safely and effectively treat darker skin tones. Its advanced technology specifically targets water — not melanin — within the skin cells, allowing for precise treatment of skin concerns without causing excessive heat damage, making it a suitable option for a diverse range of skin types.

MOXI treatments are generally well-tolerated and not considered painful. Patients may experience a mild warming sensation during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal. Topical numbing cream can be applied before the treatment to enhance comfort if needed.

Patients may also opt for Pro-Nox — a nitrous oxide delivery system that provides fast-acting anxiety and pain relief during aesthetic treatments.

Side effects are typically mild and may include redness, swelling and a sunburn-like sensation immediately after the treatment. These effects usually subside on their own within a few days.

The longevity of results varies based on individual skin conditions and maintenance routines. Most patients can expect to see noticeable improvements for 3-4 months post-treatment. Regular maintenance sessions and proper skincare can help sustain the elevated appearance of the skin over time.

Our Providers Offer Three Levels Of Moxi Treatment Based On Intensity Needed To Achieve Goals:

  • Level 1: Prevent & Refresh — for patients seeking to prevent or diminish the earliest signs of aging
  • Level 2: Revitalize & Maintain — for patients seeking to correct minor pigmentation and texture irregularities
  • Level 3: Refine & Renew — for patients with more pronounced texture, tone and melasma concerns
