What Is Sciton MOXI?

Sciton MOXI is a non-ablative fractionated laser that uses a 1927nm wavelength to target water within skin cells, stimulating collagen production and cellular renewal without damaging the skin's surface. Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, MOXI delivers gentle energy to thousands of microscopic treatment zones, triggering your body's natural healing process for gradual, beautiful improvement. The treatment is safe for all skin types and can be performed year-round, making it a versatile option for busy patients who want effective results without extended recovery.

What Does MOXI Treat?

MOXI addresses a wide range of common skin concerns, including:

  • Sun damage and photodamage: Years of UV exposure can leave the skin dull, discolored, and prematurely aged.
  • Uneven skin tone: Hyperpigmentation, melasma, and blotchiness respond well to MOXI's targeted wavelength.
  • Fine lines and early wrinkles: The treatment stimulates collagen to smooth early signs of aging.
  • Rough or uneven texture: MOXI promotes cellular turnover for softer, more refined skin.
  • Dull, lackluster complexion: Patients often notice an immediate glow following treatment.

MOXI has gained popularity as a "prejuvenation" treatment, meaning it helps prevent visible signs of aging before they fully develop. This makes it an excellent choice for patients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who want to maintain youthful skin proactively, as well as older patients looking to complement their existing skincare routine.

The MOXI Treatment Experience

MOXI treatments are quick, comfortable, and convenient. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure your comfort throughout. The treatment itself typically takes just 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild warming or tingling feeling. Following your session, the skin may appear slightly pink or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours.

Recovery and Results

One of MOXI's greatest advantages is its minimal downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities the same day or the following day, making it an ideal "lunchtime treatment" for those with busy schedules. In the days following treatment, you may notice some mild flaking as the skin naturally exfoliates damaged cells. Within a week, you'll see a noticeable improvement in tone, texture, and overall radiance. For optimal results, Dr. Parakh typically recommends a series of three to four treatments spaced about four weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance sessions to preserve your results. MOXI can also be combined with other treatments, such as BBL (BroadBand Light) or Halo, for enhanced rejuvenation.
