Fall and Winter have traditionally been the ideal seasons for patients seeking laser skin treatments. Why? Decreased sun exposure correlates with reduced complications from laser, like skin sensitivity and hyperpigmentation. But what if you still want to work towards your skincare goals of a smoother, brighter complexion during the Summer months? Skin Artisans is pleased to offer a gentle yet powerful laser resurfacing option that is safe and effective to have performed all year round! If you’re ready for more radiant skin, regardless of the season, it’s time to meet MOXI™!
What is MOXI™?
MOXI™ is a fractional laser device by Sciton® designed to gently resurface and brighten any skin type or color with little discomfort and virtually no downtime. MOXI™ works by delivering non-ablative laser energy into the skin. The handpiece travels over the skin, creating thousands of fractionated treatment zones. These controlled “micro-injuries” stimulate collagen and elastin production, which smooth the skin’s surface once healed.
What does MOXI™ Treat?
MOXI™ shines when treating the initial signs of aging and sun damage. The intensity of each treatment can be customized to each patient’s exact needs and goals and how much downtime they prefer. Other benefits of MOXI™ include:
- Smoother, tighter skin texture
- Lightening of dark spots and discoloration
- Reduction in the appearance of enlarged pores
- Softening of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin radiance and luminosity
Who is the Ideal Candidate for MOXI™?
MOXI™ is safe and effective for all skin types and colors. This makes it unique, as many deeper laser resurfacing treatments are contraindicated for darker skin types due to the risk of hyper or hypopigmentation. MOXI™ is also an excellent treatment for younger patients interested in “pre-rejuvenation,” or getting a head start on preventing the visible signs of aging. It can truly be tailored to address each patient’s needs and goals during ANY season.
When Will I See Results with MOXI™?
Patients can achieve a smoother, more even skin tone in as little as one or two MOXI™ sessions, depending on the intensity of their treatment. Those looking for more dramatic improvements may require three to four treatments spaced six weeks apart. At Skin Artisans, we strongly encourage our patients to schedule an annual maintenance treatment once they have reached their goals with MOXI™.
The downtime you experience with MOXI™ is really up to you! Patients looking for a quick skin “refresh” to improve their skin’s radiance and texture may opt for a gentler treatment which allows them to return to work with makeup the next day! Patients who want more significant improvements may opt for a more intense treatment that will leave skin red and tight for a few days as skin renews itself. Regardless of the intensity that you treat with, the daily use of an SPF 30 or higher will be required following your treatment.
Patients with busy schedules that don’t allow for much social downtime love the fact that they can have a MOXI™ on a Friday and return to work on Monday. This minimal downtime requirement is also fantastic for younger patients who must balance their school and social schedule. That MOXI™ can safely be performed during the Summer only heightens its versatility and allure, making it an easy and effective way to rejuvenate your skin all year round!
