What Is Moxi Laser?

Moxi is a non-ablative fractionated laser that uses a 1927nm wavelength to revitalize skin tone and texture. Unlike ablative lasers that remove outer skin layers, Moxi creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

This fractionated approach triggers the body's natural healing response. According to research published on ClinicalTrials.gov, the 1927nm wavelength effectively targets water in the skin, allowing optimal absorption and controlled energy delivery to address pigmentation concerns.

How Moxi works:

  • Creates micro-coagulation zones in the skin.
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production.
  • Promotes natural cell turnover and regeneration.
  • Targets pigmentation at a superficial level for even tone.
  • Leaves surrounding tissue untouched for faster healing.

Moxi is ideal for patients beginning their skincare journey or those seeking a maintenance treatment to complement their existing regimen.

Does Moxi laser treatment hurt?

Most patients describe Moxi as very tolerable, with a warm, prickling sensation during treatment. The topical numbing cream applied beforehand and the cooling air used during the session keep discomfort minimal.

Can Moxi laser treat areas other than the face?

Yes, Moxi can be used on the neck, chest, hands, and other areas prone to sun damage and pigmentation. These areas often show early signs of aging and respond well to fractionated laser treatment.

How long do Moxi results last?

Results can last several months to a year, depending on your skincare routine and sun exposure habits. Many patients schedule 2-3 maintenance treatments per year to preserve their refreshed complexion.

Is there anything I should avoid before my Moxi treatment?

You should avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and excessive sun exposure for about one week before treatment. Arriving with clean skin free of makeup and self-tanner also helps ensure optimal results.

Can I receive Moxi if I have active acne or cold sores?

Active breakouts or cold sores in the treatment area should be resolved before undergoing Moxi. If you have a history of cold sores, Carli may prescribe antiviral medication as a preventive measure.

Will Moxi help improve acne scars?

Moxi can improve mild textural irregularities from acne scarring by stimulating collagen production. For deeper or more pronounced scars, a more aggressive resurfacing treatment may be recommended.

How soon can I exercise after Moxi treatment?

You should avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for 24-48 hours following treatment to prevent irritation. Light activities and normal daily routines can typically resume immediately.

Do I need to avoid sun exposure after Moxi?

Yes, protecting your skin from direct sun exposure is essential for at least two weeks post-treatment. Wearing SPF 30 or higher daily helps protect your healing skin and preserves your results long-term.
