Why Choose Moxi?

Many skin rejuvenation treatments focus on correcting established signs of ageing. MOXI is different.

It has been designed not only to improve existing skin concerns but also to help maintain healthy skin before more advanced signs of ageing develop.

Patients often choose MOXI because it offers:

  • Minimal downtime
  • Gradual, natural-looking improvements
  • Improved skin tone and texture
  • Brighter, healthier-looking skin
  • Support for natural collagen production
  • A personalised treatment approach
  • Suitable for busy lifestyles
  • Can be combined with other skin treatments where clinically appropriate

Rather than dramatically changing your appearance, MOXI aims to restore healthier skin that looks refreshed, balanced and naturally radiant.

 



FAQs

What does a MOXI treatment do?

MOXI is a gentle fractional laser treatment designed to improve overall skin quality by stimulating natural collagen production and encouraging healthy skin renewal. It can help address uneven skin tone, pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores and dull skin. Rather than dramatically changing your appearance, MOXI works gradually to leave your complexion looking brighter, smoother and healthier over time.

What does MOXI mean?

MOXI is the brand name of a non-ablative fractional laser developed by Sciton. Unlike more intensive laser resurfacing treatments, MOXI creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This encourages the skin's natural healing response, helping to improve texture, tone and overall skin quality with minimal downtime.

Is a MOXI facial worth it?

For patients looking to improve skin quality with minimal recovery, MOXI can be an excellent option. It is particularly suitable for treating early signs of ageing, uneven skin tone and sun damage while encouraging collagen production. Whether it is the right treatment for you depends on your skin concerns and goals, which is why a personalised consultation is recommended before treatment.

What is the downside of MOXI laser?

MOXI is generally well tolerated, but like any laser treatment, it has some temporary side effects. Mild redness, swelling, dryness and a sandpaper-like texture are common during the healing process. Results develop gradually rather than immediately, and multiple treatments may be recommended for the best outcome. A consultation will determine whether MOXI is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.

Who is not a candidate for MOXI laser?

MOXI may not be suitable for everyone. Treatment may need to be postponed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, a recent suntan or are taking certain medications that increase sensitivity to light. Some medical conditions may also affect suitability. A doctor-led consultation ensures treatment is both safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.

What is better, microneedling or MOXI?

Neither treatment is universally better, as they improve the skin in different ways. MOXI uses fractional laser energy to improve pigmentation, uneven skin tone and early signs of ageing, while microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production and improve texture or acne scarring. The most appropriate treatment depends on your skin concerns, which your doctor will assess during your consultation.

How long do MOXI results last?

Results vary depending on your skin condition, age, lifestyle and sun exposure. Many patients enjoy improvements for several months following a course of treatment, particularly when combined with good skincare and daily sun protection. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve skin quality and support long-term collagen production.

How painful is MOXI laser?

Most patients describe MOXI as comfortable and well tolerated. During treatment, you may experience a warm, prickling sensation as the laser is delivered across the skin. A topical anaesthetic cream is usually applied beforehand to improve comfort. Although everyone's pain threshold is different, most patients find the treatment manageable and are able to resume normal activities shortly afterwards.

What should I avoid after MOXI laser?

After MOXI treatment, it is important to avoid direct sun exposure, excessive heat, vigorous exercise, saunas and swimming pools for the first few days, or as advised by your practitioner. You should also avoid exfoliating products and active skincare ingredients until your skin has fully recovered. Following your personalised aftercare instructions will help support healing and optimise your results.

What does your skin look like after MOXI?

Immediately after treatment, the skin usually appears pink or slightly red, similar to mild sunburn. Over the next few days, you may notice tiny dark dots, known as microscopic treatment zones, together with a rough, sandpaper-like texture. These changes are a normal part of the healing process and gradually resolve as fresh, healthy skin is revealed.

What is the best age to get a laser facial?

There is no ideal age to start laser treatments, as suitability depends on your skin concerns rather than your age. Some patients choose MOXI in their twenties or thirties as a preventative treatment to maintain healthy skin, while others begin later to address pigmentation, uneven skin tone or early signs of ageing. A consultation will help determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.

Can I wear tinted moisturiser after MOXI?

It is generally recommended to avoid applying makeup, including tinted moisturiser, immediately after treatment while the skin begins to heal. Your practitioner will advise when it is safe to resume cosmetics, which is often within 24 hours, depending on your skin's recovery. Following the recommended aftercare helps reduce the risk of irritation and supports optimal healing.

Does your face peel after MOXI?

Some patients experience light flaking or very fine peeling as the skin renews itself, but significant peeling is uncommon. More commonly, the skin develops a slightly rough texture for several days before naturally shedding damaged skin cells. You should allow this process to occur naturally and avoid picking or exfoliating the skin during recovery.

Can MOXI treat melasma?

MOXI may be suitable for some patients with melasma, but treatment should always be carefully assessed by an experienced doctor. Melasma is a complex condition that can be influenced by hormones, genetics and sun exposure, and not all laser treatments are appropriate. A personalised consultation allows us to determine whether MOXI is suitable or whether an alternative treatment plan would be more appropriate.

Can MOXI be combined with BBL?

Yes, MOXI is frequently combined with BBL HERO as part of a personalised skin rejuvenation programme. While BBL HERO primarily targets pigmentation, redness and sun damage, MOXI focuses on improving skin texture, tone and collagen production. Together, they can address multiple signs of skin ageing within the same treatment plan. Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your skin concerns.

Is MOXI safe for darker skin tones?

MOXI may be suitable for a broader range of skin tones than some traditional laser treatments, but suitability depends on your individual skin type and medical assessment. Patients with darker skin have a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation following certain laser procedures, so treatment settings must be carefully selected. A thorough consultation ensures treatment is performed safely and appropriately.

Can I wear makeup afterwards?

Most patients are advised to avoid makeup until the skin has started to recover, usually for around 24 hours, although this may vary depending on your skin and the treatment performed. Once your practitioner confirms it is appropriate, you can gradually resume your usual makeup routine. Keeping the skin clean and well moisturised during the first day helps support the healing process.
