Before the treatment takes place, a topical anaesthesia will be applied, around 45 minutes beforehand. After the numbing cream has taken effect, the laser will be passed over the treatment areas of your skin. You will feel a warming sensation, however, most patients find that the treatment is entirely tolerable. A cooling device will also be used, to help ensure that you are comfortable and any potential post-treatment swelling is minimised.

Everyone’s skin is different. Everyone’s needs are different. MOXI can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other treatments to improve the overall quality of your skin!

The number of treatments all depends on your treatment goals and the level of correction desired. Most patients receive 3 to 4 corrective MOXI treatments, then often elect for regular maintenance treatments. Talk to your practitioner about your goals and they can advise you on the best treatment regimen.

Results will vary depending on your treatment goals and the plan you set forth with your provider. For the day following your treatment, your skin may appear red and, depending on your level of treatment, you may see the small micro dots called “mendz” where the laser was applied. As the micro zones heal, they will darken and feel rough. Between days 3 and 5, the mendz will slough off, revealing the renewed skin beneath.
You can expect your results to last up to 6 months. However, we do recommend top up sessions every 4 to 6 months to maintain your results.

Differing levels of treatment may affect the sensations you feel during treatment, but most patients find the MOXI treatment experience very tolerable. The numbing cream prior to the procedure minimises discomfort, and your provider may also use a cooling air to keep you comfortable during. Simply put, this is one of the most gentle, low-pain laser treatments on the market.

Absolutely! Since the MOXI laser isn’t as strong or invasive as its counterparts, it lessens the risk of hyper or hypopigmentation after treatment. Of course, if you ever have specific questions or concerns based on your skin tone, your provider will have all the training and experience to answer your additional questions.
