Quiet warmth beneath the surface, prompting renewal.
Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser. It does not remove the surface of the skin. Instead it sends tiny columns of gentle heat just below the surface, in a fraction of the treated area at a time, prompting the skin to renew itself in the days that follow.
Because it works beneath the surface and treats only a fraction of the skin at once, recovery is brief. The improvement is gradual, tone clearing and texture softening over the weeks that follow, and it builds with each session rather than arriving all at once.
The consultation
Before anything is decided, your provider studies your skin: its tone, its texture, the dullness or unevenness you have begun to notice, and whether it is ready for a gentle laser or for something else. Moxi suits most skin tones, but the plan is always drawn from the skin in front of us.
The session
The skin is cleansed and a numbing cream applied for comfort. Your provider then passes the laser gently across the treated area. Most people feel warmth and a light prickling, no more. Afterward, Ariessence PDGF is applied to the freshly treated skin, to ease the healing and support the renewal already underway. It is quick, and easily tolerated.
The days that follow
For a day or two the skin feels warm and looks faintly flushed, then takes on a fine, sandpaper roughness as it renews and sloughs away. These small darkened points, sometimes called MINS, along with a little temporary unevenness, can last up to a week. Keep the skin clean and moisturized, and wear sun protection without fail. Most people return to the day at once, though the skin may not look its best until it has cleared. The glow builds over the weeks that follow, and deepens with each session.
