Benefits of MOXI® Laser Treatment
MOXI® is a gentle way to refresh your skin and works well for all skin types and tones. Here’s what MOXI® can do for your skin:
Improves Uneven Skin Tone:
Helps reduce redness, dark spots, and discoloration for a more even and balanced appearance.
Smooths Texture:
Softens rough spots and leaves the skin feeling smoother.
Promotes Collagen Production:
Encourages the skin to naturally rebuild itself, which leads to firmer, healthier skin over time.
Can Be Used All Year:
Unlike some other lasers, MOXI® is gentle enough to be used any time of year as long as you use proper sun protection.
Minimal Downtime:
Most people go back to their normal routine the same day with only some mild redness or warmth.
What to Expect During MOXI®
MOXI® treatments at Erickson Cosmetic Dermatology are designed to be comfortable and simple. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
Dr. Erickson will meet with you to talk about your goals and skin concerns. She will examine your skin and create a personalized plan to help you achieve the results you want.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment Prep
The treatment area is cleaned. A numbing cream is typically applied to help you stay comfortable, but many patients find the treatment manageable without it.
Step 3: The MOXI® Laser Treatment
A small device is moved across your skin, delivering controlled laser energy. This process usually takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
You may experience a mild sunburn sensation afterward, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Your skin may appear pink for a day or two before it starts to feel dry and flake slightly.
Ideal Candidates for MOXI®
MOXI® is a great choice for many people, especially those who want to get ahead of aging or keep their skin healthy. You may be a good candidate if:
You want a light, preventive skin treatment.
You have early signs of sun damage or discoloration.
You want little to no downtime.
You are new to laser treatments and want something gentle.
