What Is Moxi Face Treatment?
Sciton Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment that gently refreshes the skin’s surface without the downtime associated with traditional resurfacing lasers. Using thousands of microscopic laser channels, Moxi stimulates the skin’s natural healing and collagen production process, which helps improve tone, texture, and pigmentation over time. Because the treatment is so gentle, it’s an excellent option for patients who are new to laser skincare, as well as those who simply want to maintain a healthy glow between more intensive procedures.
What sets Moxi apart is its versatility. The laser’s adjustable settings allow Dr. Yegiyants to tailor each treatment to a patient’s specific skin type, concerns, and goals, whether that means addressing early signs of aging, refining texture, or simply keeping skin looking fresh and even-toned. With no anesthesia required and virtually no recovery time, Moxi fits easily into a busy schedule, making it a popular choice for patients who want visible results without interrupting their daily routine.
What Are the Benefits of Sciton Moxi Laser Treatment?
Why should you choose the Sciton Moxi laser for your next skincare treatment? This gentle laser offers many benefits:
- Safe for all skin types and colors.
- Can be used year-round, even on tanned skin.
- No downtime is needed after treatment
- Many patients come in during a lunch break.
- Multiple treatment modes are available, allowing for a customized treatment experience.
- Can extend and enhance the results of more intensive laser treatments.
While there are many benefits of Sciton Moxi, these benefits are best enjoyed by the right patients. Dr. Yegiyants customizes her treatment approach with each patient to ensure that you receive the laser treatments that are most beneficial for your skin.
When Your Skin Needs More: Introducing Sciton Contour TRL
Moxi is an excellent starting point for patients with mild concerns, but some patients come to Dr. Yegiyants with deeper wrinkles, more noticeable sun damage, or textural scarring that calls for a more powerful approach. For these patients, Dr. Yegiyants may recommend Sciton Contour TRL, a tunable resurfacing laser (TRL) built on the same trusted Sciton platform as Moxi. Unlike Moxi’s gentle, non-ablative technology, Contour TRL is a full-field ablative erbium laser that precisely removes damaged layers of skin to a depth customized for each patient’s goals. This makes it especially effective for etched lines around the mouth and eyes, deeper wrinkles, sun spots, and stubborn acne scarring that a lighter laser may not completely resolve.
What Skin Conditions Can Moxi Treat?
The Sciton Moxi laser treatment is beneficial to treat skin conditions, including:
- Uneven pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and coloration
- Skin texture
- Lightly sun damaged skin
- Early signs of aging
- Mild to moderate acne scars
- On-going maintenance after a more intensive laser treatment
- Prejuvenation to delay signs of visible aging
Moxi is safe for all skin types and colors and can be safely used year-round. Ask Dr. Yegiyants if this treatment is suitable for you.
Is Contour TRL Right for You?
Ideal candidates for Contour TRL are patients who want more dramatic improvement than a maintenance-level laser can provide and who are comfortable with a longer, more involved recovery in exchange for significant results. Good patients typically have deep wrinkles, pronounced photodamage, uneven texture, or scarring that hasn’t responded to gentler treatments, and they are in good overall skin health without active infections or unrealistic expectations about downtime.
Because Contour TRL is fully tunable, Dr. Yegiyants can adjust the depth of treatment to match each patient’s skin condition, desired outcome, and how much time they can dedicate to healing. During your consultation, she’ll review your medical history, skincare goals, and lifestyle to determine whether Contour TRL, Moxi, or a combination of the two best fits your needs.
