MOXI™
IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY & FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CT
The skin loses its shine naturally, as its ability to shed damaged cells and create new ones starts to fade. Laser treatments are a modern solution to address this issue, and the MOXI™ laser is particularly popular for pigmentation spots and skin texture problems. When you want clear, youthful skin, our providers at Park Avenue Medical Spa can help you on your skin rejuvenation journey.Contact Us
Candidates for MOXI™
Anyone wishing to rejuvenate their skin can get the MOXI™ laser treatment. However, you are considered an ideal candidate if you meet the following criteria:
- You notice early signs of sun damage, like fine lines and skin tone issues
- You want to address minor skin irregularities, such as acne scars
- You want a minimally invasive treatment to address skin blemishes
You may not be an ideal candidate if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active skin infections.
How MOXI™ Works
MOXI™ uses a 1927 nm Thulium laser that can go 100-200 microns deep into the skin. This creates micro-coagulation zones without damaging the surrounding skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This increases the production of collagen and elastin while promoting cellular turnover.
With time, the body sheds the damaged skin cells while increasing firmness and reducing wrinkles and fine lines. MOXI™ remodels the dermis and increases its strength, leading to smoother and glowing skin.
MOXI™ Recovery
You can expect some mild redness and warmth for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure, which feels similar to a minor sunburn. Most patients report a “sandpaper” texture as the damaged skin starts to peel.
Dark spots called Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris (MENDs) may appear around the second to fifth day, but generally fade around the seventh. Most of the symptoms should pass after a week or two of the treatment, provided you use soothing skincare and sunblock.
MOXI™ Results
MOXI™ results are gradual and become apparent within about one to two weeks of the treatment. You may notice fewer pigmentation spots and a brighter complexion as the top damaged layer sheds off. Wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores improve within four weeks, but reach peak results after three months. This is because the collagen needs time to form and mature.
Results can last up to six months or more. Over time, collagen production eventually returns to its natural rate, which is why we recommend that you schedule maintenance treatments.
