What Is MOXI Laser?
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment developed by Sciton, designed to revitalize and refresh the skin by targeting early signs of sun damage, aging, and uneven skin tone. Unlike traditional lasers that may require more downtime, MOXI gently stimulates collagen production and accelerates cell turnover without damaging the skin’s surface.
It’s commonly referred to as a “prejuvenation” tool—a treatment meant to prevent aging before it begins. Because of its gentle nature, MOXI is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it an ideal entry point into laser treatments for both younger patients and seasoned skincare veterans.
What Are the Benefits of MOXI Laser?
MOXI delivers a wide range of skin benefits, including:
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduction in sun damage and pigmentation
- Minimized pores
- Stimulated collagen production
- Brighter, more radiant complexion
- Prevention of fine lines and wrinkles
Because it works beneath the skin’s surface, the results appear natural and build over time, making it a go-to for those who want noticeable improvement without a drastic change or long recovery.
Does MOXI Make You Look Younger?
Yes—MOXI helps you look younger, but in a subtle, refreshed way. By promoting cellular regeneration and collagen production, the laser softens fine lines, reduces pigmentation, and improves overall skin quality. Think of it as pressing the reset button on your skin, restoring a youthful glow and resilience.
Who Can Benefit From MOXI? Who Is the Ideal Candidate?
MOXI is ideal for a wide range of individuals:
- Young adults looking to prevent early signs of aging (20s–30s)
- People with sun damage or pigmentation
- Patients with uneven skin tone or texture
- Anyone seeking light rejuvenation with little to no downtime
Because it’s gentle and non-ablative, MOXI is especially beneficial for those with darker skin tones or sensitive skin types that may not tolerate more aggressive lasers.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of treatments depends on your skin goals. Most patients start with a series of 3 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal results. After the initial series, maintenance treatments 1–2 times per year can help sustain long-term benefits.
How Long After MOXI Do You See Results?
You’ll start to notice a glow and smoother texture within 3–5 days after your first treatment. Full results, such as clearer skin tone and reduced pigmentation, typically appear after a few weeks and continue to improve with each session.
Is MOXI Better Than Microneedling?
Both treatments have benefits, but they work differently:
- MOXI uses laser energy to target pigment and stimulate collagen below the skin’s surface, making it excellent for tone and sun damage.
- Microneedling creates micro-injuries to the skin to stimulate healing and collagen, and is often better for texture and acne scars.
If pigmentation and tone are your main concerns, MOXI may be more effective, while microneedling could be better for scar reduction or deeper rejuvenation. Many patients even combine the two for a comprehensive skincare plan.
Is MOXI Better Than BBL?
MOXI and BBL (BroadBand Light) are both powerful tools, and they often complement each other:
- MOXI targets texture, pigmentation, and collagen stimulation with laser energy.
- BBL uses light energy to target redness, pigmentation, and vascular issues.
When used together (a combination often called “MOXI + BBL Hero”), they deliver a full-spectrum skin rejuvenation. However, if you’re choosing one based on pigmentation and anti-aging, MOXI tends to offer more dramatic collagen-boosting benefits with less risk of irritation.
How Expensive Is MOXI?
The cost of a MOXI treatment typically ranges from $500 to $800 per session, depending on your location, provider experience, and whether it’s part of a package or combination therapy. Some clinics offer discounts on a series of treatments or bundle it with other services like BBL.
Final Thoughts
MOXI has cemented itself as a modern favorite for anyone seeking brighter, clearer, and healthier-looking skin without the hassle of extended recovery time. Whether you’re in your 20s and starting to invest in your skin or looking for a gentle refresh in your 40s or 50s, MOXI offers a safe, effective, and versatile solution.
For best results, always consult a board-certified dermatologist or licensed aesthetic provider to see if MOXI aligns with your skin goals.
