When it comes to refreshing your skin and achieving a radiant, youthful glow, the options can feel overwhelming. But let me introduce you to a game-changer in the world of skin treatments: MOXI. This innovative approach offers a gentle yet effective way to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance without the downtime of more aggressive procedures.
What is MOXI Laser?
MOXI is a non-ablative laser treatment designed to target early signs of skin damage and ageing. It uses fractional laser technology to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process. This encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
Unlike more intense laser treatments, MOXI is gentle enough for all skin types and requires minimal downtime. It’s perfect for those who want to maintain a fresh, youthful complexion without the discomfort or recovery time associated with deeper laser resurfacing.
Here’s what you can expect from a typical MOXI session:
A quick treatment time, usually around 20-30 minutes.
Mild redness or warmth immediately after, similar to a light sunburn.
Gradual improvement in skin texture and tone over the following days and weeks.
A series of treatments (typically 3-4) spaced approximately 4 weeks apart for optimal results.
This approach makes MOXI an excellent option for busy individuals who want effective results without disrupting their daily routine.
Benefits of MOXI
The appeal of MOXI skin rejuvenation lies in its versatility and safety profile. It addresses a range of common skin concerns, including:
Uneven skin tone and pigmentation: MOXI helps fade sun spots, freckles, and mild hyperpigmentation.
Fine lines and early wrinkles: By boosting collagen, it smooths out subtle lines and improves skin firmness.
Texture irregularities: Rough patches, enlarged pores, and dullness are softened for a more polished look.
Preventative care: MOXI is ideal for younger skin or those wanting to maintain their complexion before more significant ageing occurs.
One of the standout features is how well it fits into a preventative skincare routine. Think of it as a tune-up for your skin, keeping it healthy and vibrant year-round.
If you’re curious about the treatment experience, many clients describe it as comfortable, with only a mild warming sensation during the procedure. Plus, the minimal downtime means you can return to work or social activities the very next day. Most patients will experience a moderate manageable downtime for approximately 5 days including redness, followed by darkening of the skin in micro injuries.
Is MOXI Better Than BBL?
You might have heard of BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy, another popular skin rejuvenation treatment. Both MOXI and BBL offer fantastic results, but they work in slightly different ways and suit different skin concerns.
BBL uses intense pulsed light to target pigmentation, redness, and vascular lesions. It’s excellent for treating sun damage and redness, especially in fairer skin types. MOXI, on the other hand, uses fractional laser technology to improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production, making it more effective for fine lines and early signs of ageing.
Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:
| Feature | MOXI Skin Rejuvenation | BBL Therapy |
|----------------------|--------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| Technology | Fractional laser | Intense pulsed light |
| Best for | Texture, fine lines, early ageing | Pigmentation, redness, sun damage |
| Downtime | Moderate (3-5 days) | Minimal (usually none) |
| Number of sessions | 3-4 for best results | 3-5 depending on skin condition |
| Suitable for skin types| All skin types | Lighter skin tones (dark skin tones with prep) |
In many cases, these treatments complement each other beautifully. Some clients choose to alternate between MOXI and BBL sessions to address multiple skin concerns comprehensively.

What to Expect During and After Treatment
Preparation for MOXI skin rejuvenation is straightforward. We always recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the weeks leading up to your appointment. This helps protect your skin and ensures the best possible results.
On the day of treatment, you must arrive 30 minutes prior to your treatment for topical numbing to be applied.
During the treatment, you’ll wear protective eyewear while the laser is applied to your face or targeted areas. The procedure is quick, and most people find it quite tolerable. Afterward, your skin may feel hot and look slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually settles within 24-48 hours. Your skin will then develop MENDS (micro injuries) which will appear like black dots which will then disappear over the coming days.
Post-treatment care is crucial for a smooth recovery and optimal outcome:
Keep your skin moisturised with gentle, hydrating products.
Avoid harsh skincare ingredients like retinoids or exfoliants for a few days.
Use sunscreen diligently to protect your healing skin.
Avoid heavy makeup for at least 24 hours.
Over the next week, you might notice some mild flaking or peeling as your skin renews itself. This is a good sign that the treatment is working. Results typically become more visible after a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months.
