• Comfortable Experience: The procedure is gentle, often described as having low pain, and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and body.

The Treatment Process

A typical MOXI session takes anywhere between 10–60 minutes, this often involves topical numbing, feels like prickling heat, and requires 1 day of recovery. 

• Consultation: A professional assesses skin goals and determines the appropriate treatment level.
• Preparation: Topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to maximize comfort.
• Procedure: A handpiece is passed over the skin (face, neck, chest, or hands), delivering targeted energy.
• Sensation & Duration: The process takes about 10–30 minutes, with patients feeling a warm, prickly sensation.
• Post-Treatment: The skin may feel tight and look red for a day or two. Small, dark spots known as “MENDs” (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) may appear as the skin heals.
• Aftercare: Gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and strict sun protection (SPF 30+) are required

Frequently Asked Questions – MOXI

What skin concerns can it treat?

Moxi helps improve:

• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Mild roughness and dullness

It is commonly used for “prejuvenation,” helping to prevent and delay visible signs of ageing.

Who is a good candidate for Moxi?

Most adults looking for skin rejuvenation, tone improvement, or early ageing prevention are good candidates. It is ideal for individuals who:

• Want to maintain youthful skin
• Have early sun damage
• Prefer minimal downtime

When performed by a trained provider, it is generally suitable for a wide range of skin types.

What areas can be treated?

Some providers may also treat other body areas depending on individual goals.

What happens during the treatment?

A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand. The laser handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering controlled energy to the skin. Most patients feel mild warmth or a tingling sensation. A full face treatment is typically quick.

Is the treatment painful?

Moxi is generally well tolerated. Most patients describe the sensation as mild heat with minimal discomfort. Cooling methods or numbing cream may be used to enhance comfort.

How many sessions are needed and when do results show?

A series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. Many people notice initial improvements after the first session, with continued enhancement over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

What is the downtime?

Downtime is usually minimal. You may experience mild redness or warmth similar to a light sunburn for a short period. Tiny darkened spots may appear and flake off as the skin renews. Most people return to normal activities quickly and can resume wearing makeup after about a day.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Moxi is often combined with other aesthetic treatments to address concerns such as redness, deeper pigmentation, or vascular issues, depending on individual goals.

Are results permanent?

While Moxi stimulates long-term skin renewal, the natural ageing process and sun exposure continue over time. Maintenance treatments and consistent sun protection help prolong results.

Is Moxi suitable for darker skin tones?

When performed by an experienced provider, Moxi can be appropriate for many skin tones. A personalised consultation is essential to determine suitability and customise treatment settings.

What should I do after treatment?

Aftercare typically includes:

• Wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
• Keeping the skin well moisturised
• Avoiding direct sun exposure during healing
