Moxi is one of the most popular skin treatments for refreshing your complexion, correcting early sun damage, and reducing signs of aging. One of the most common questions we hear is, “What should I expect during a Moxi laser treatment?”
Below, we’ll walk through the process, downtime, results, and the kind of before-and-after transformation you can expect.
What Does the Moxi Laser Do?
Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser designed to:
• Correct uneven tone and pigmentation
• Improve skin texture and brightness
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Provide a refreshed glow with little downtime
Moxi is sometimes called a “prejuvenation” laser because it’s not just for correction — it also helps prevent visible signs of aging before they appear.
How Many Moxi Treatments Do You Need?
Many patients notice an improvement after just one Moxi treatment. For best results, we typically recommend a series of 3–4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Once your skin has improved, seasonal or yearly maintenance treatments can help sustain your glow long term.
What to Expect During a Moxi Treatment
Knowing what happens during a Moxi session can help ease any nerves before your first appointment. Here’s what to expect:
Consultation
Your Moxi journey begins with a consultation with one of our Master Estheticians, who will evaluate your skin and customize a treatment plan based on your goals.
Preparation
On treatment day, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be applied to help keep you comfortable. Progress photos may also be taken.
Treatment and Duration
During treatment, your esthetician will use a handheld device with a fresh, single-use tip for each client, ensuring the treatment is clean and safe. The device also provides feedback as it moves across the skin, helping maintain consistency throughout the session.
The Moxi handpiece delivers gentle, fractionated laser energy into the skin to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production. Treatments typically take 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Aftercare and Downtime
Following your Moxi treatment, your skin may feel warm and appear red for up to 24 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. The initial heat usually subsides within about two hours, leaving the skin feeling sensitive rather than hot.
Over the next 24 hours, redness is common and tiny microdots may appear. These are called MENDs (microscopic epithelial necrotic debris) and are a normal part of the skin’s renewal process. As MENDs develop, the skin may feel rough or sandpaper-like for about 5–7 days.
During this time, it’s best to avoid makeup for at least the first 24 hours and use only gentle skincare products along with sunscreen. Once the MENDs naturally shed, fresh, smooth, and radiant skin is revealed.
How Long Does It Take to See Moxi Results?
• Immediately after treatment: Skin often looks brighter within days
• 1–2 weeks: Texture and pigmentation continue to improve
• After 3 treatments: Noticeable improvement in tone, texture, and collagen
• Maintenance: One or two treatments per year help maintain results
