What Should I Avoid After MOXI?

After MOXI, think of the first several days as a time to keep your skin calm and protected. Your skin may feel warm, dry, or textured as it renews, so we will give you instructions based on the strength of your treatment. You may be asked to: Stay out of direct sun: Freshly treated skin is more vulnerable to irritation and pigmentation. Keep skin care simple: Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, and strong active ingredients until your provider clears you. Skip high-heat activities: Hold off on saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, or intense heat while your skin settles. Let texture shed naturally: Do not pick, scrub, or try to speed up flaking or roughness. Use sunscreen consistently: Daily SPF helps protect your skin as it heals and supports longer-lasting results.

What Does Skin Look Like Right After MOXI?

Right after MOXI, your skin may look pink or red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Some patients also notice mild swelling or a rough, sandpaper-like texture as the skin begins its renewal process. These changes are part of the normal healing response. Your provider will explain what to expect based on the treatment strength used during your session.

How Long Do MOXI Results Last?

MOXI results vary based on your skin concerns, treatment plan, sun exposure, and home skin care routine. Many patients choose a series of treatments first, then schedule periodic maintenance to help preserve their brighter, healthier-looking skin.

Can I Get MOXI During the Summer?

MOXI may be an option for some patients during the summer, but sun protection is especially important. Because the treatment targets pigmentation and supports skin renewal, excess sun exposure before or after treatment can increase irritation or affect your results.

What Areas Can MOXI Treat?

MOXI is commonly used on the face, but it may also be appropriate for other sun-exposed areas depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals. These may include areas such as the neck, chest, or hands. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate the areas you want to improve and determine whether MOXI is the right option.

What Is MOXI?

MOXI is an innovative, non-ablative, fractionated laser skin treatment made to revitalize skin before deep damage sets in. MOXI delivers laser heat energy just below the skin’s surface through tiny channels and doesn’t damage the surrounding skin.

A MOXI treatment is gentle and lasts 15 to 30 minutes. MOXI provides mild, natural-looking results and can help people achieve noticeable skin rejuvenating results without downtime.

What Types of Skin Concerns Can MOXI Treat?

MOXI skin rejuvenation helps with common skin concerns, including:

Uneven pigmentation
Mild sun damage
Melasma
Uneven tone and texture

MOXI treatments are preventive, too. They halt the signs of aging before they appear on your skin.

MOXI also complements other treatments like Forever Young BBL™, extending their results so you maintain the appearance of healthy skin over the long term.

Who Is a Good Candidate for MOXI?

MOXI is the ideal treatment for people who are trying out laser treatments for the first time. It’s especially appropriate for younger patients looking to prevent sun damage and aging before it takes effect on their skin.

The procedure produces healthy, firmer skin with a smoother texture regardless of your skin type.

How Many MOXI Treatments Will I Need to See Results?

Many people report noticing an improved skin glow and tighter texture after just one treatment.

A total of 3-4 treatments is recommended to get optimal results, followed by periodic maintenance.

Are Treatments with MOXI Painful?

MOXI treatments are well-tolerated by most people. You feel a little heat and tingling as the laser passes over your skin. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to make it as comfortable as possible.

Do I Need to Schedule Downtime Following MOXI Treatments?

You need little to no downtime following your session. You may have mild redness or swelling after a mild session, but these side effects fade within a day. With more aggressive treatments, your skin may feel rough to the touch for several weeks. You can apply makeup within 24 hours of the procedure.

MOXI involves little to no downtime, but your skin may look red, swollen, or feel rough for a period after treatment.

For a mild treatment, many people feel comfortable returning to normal routines quickly, but it is still best to schedule MOXI at least one to two weeks before an event.

If you are planning a more aggressive treatment or this is your first MOXI session, we may recommend scheduling farther out from the event, so your skin has ample time to settle.
