What It Is

Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses a laser to improve the appearance of the skin. MOXI is a specific type of laser that is non-ablative, i.e., it does not remove the outer layers of skin. Instead, it uses fractionated light to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate collagen production, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other blemishes. Moxi is referred to as a “prejuvenation” treatment because it can delay the onset of aging.

MOXI By Sciton

MOXI by Sciton is a groundbreaking laser device that offers numerous benefits over other laser devices. MOXI is a non-ablative laser, so it does not remove the outer layers of skin. This makes it a more gentle treatment than ablative lasers, which can cause more downtime and discomfort. MOXI also has a customizable treatment depth, allowing the provider to adjust the treatment to your specific skin conditions. Furthermore, MOXI Laser in Austin uses fractionated light technology to target specific skin concerns without damaging the surrounding skin.

How It Works

MOXI laser skin resurfacing works by delivering fractionated light energy to the skin. The laser energy is converted into light, which is directed at the skin in a series of tiny, precisely placed pulses. These pulses create tiny perforations in the top layer of the skin (epidermis), targeting water molecules within the skin cells. The treatment is non-ablative, meaning it does not remove the outer layers of the skin but instead stimulates the skin’s natural healing process.

The microinjuries caused by the laser treatment stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that gives skin its structure and support. As new collagen is produced, it can tighten and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and rough texture. MOXI is also effective at reducing the appearance of brown and red spots on the skin, giving the skin a more even and revitalized tone. MOXI laser skin resurfacing suits all skin types and conditions, including wrinkles, scars, discoloration, and laxity.

What To Expect

During laser skin resurfacing, you will be given goggles to protect your eyes from the laser light, and the provider will roll the laser device over the treatment area. MOXI delivers tiny pulses of light energy to the skin, which may feel like a prickly heat sensation. After your treatment of laser skin resurfacing in Austin, your skin may appear slightly sunburnt and swollen, especially around the under your eyes. Over the next five days, your skin will slough off to reveal healthier skin.

You will need to avoid wearing makeup and using regular skin care products for the rest of the day after the treatment. It is important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your medical provider to ensure proper healing and the best possible results. In about one week, you should see an improvement in the radiance of your skin and an overall glow. You may need multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.
