MOXI Laser Treatment for Melasma, Sun Damage, and Skin Rejuvenation

The “Lunchtime Laser” for Glass Skin and Melasma in Buffalo

Large pores and stubborn dark spots don’t stand a chance against modern laser technology. At Monroe Medspa, MOXI laser delivers the smooth, luminous complexion Buffalo residents want without disrupting their busy lives. This non-ablative treatment addresses pigmentation and texture concerns, making it a popular option for melasma treatment during your lunch break.

What Is MOXI Laser? The “BBL + Moxi Stack”

MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser developed by Sciton that delivers controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface. These precise channels stimulate collagen production and cellular turnover without removing the outer layer of skin. The treatment works beneath the epidermis to address melasma, sun damage, and pore size while maintaining your skin’s protective barrier.

When combined with BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy, MOXI creates what practitioners call “The Stack.” BBL targets pigment and redness at the surface, while MOXI works deeper to resurface and refine texture. Pair with BBL Hero for comprehensive rejuvenation in a single session.

Why MOXI is different

Unlike traditional ablative lasers that remove skin layers, MOXI’s non-ablative technology makes it safe for all skin types, including darker complexions. The treatment minimizes the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, a common concern with more aggressive laser procedures. This pore-shrinking laser is effective across all Fitzpatrick skin types and requires minimal healing time.

Skin & Body Treatments

Who Is a Good Candidate?

MOXI works well for patients in their 20s through 60s who are seeking preventive care or correction. Good candidates include those with:

Uneven skin tone or pigmentation concerns
Enlarged pores or rough texture
Early fine lines and wrinkles
Melasma or sun damage
Dull or tired-looking skin
Desire for “prejuvenation” before visible aging appears

The Procedure

Our provider cleanses your skin and applies topical numbing cream approximately 20-30 minutes before treatment. Once your skin is prepared, the MOXI handpiece glides across the treatment area in a systematic pattern, delivering thousands of microscopic laser columns.

Most sessions take 15-30 minutes, depending on the area treated. You may feel a warm, prickling sensation during treatment, similar to light static electricity. Our provider adjusts the laser settings based on your skin type and specific concerns to optimize both safety and results.

Recovery and Results

Expect mild redness and a bronzed appearance for 2-3 days following treatment. Your skin may feel slightly rough as old pigment rises to the surface and naturally exfoliates within 5-7 days. Most patients return to regular activities immediately, though they avoid heavy exercise and direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours.

Results appear gradually as collagen remodels and new skin cells emerge. You’ll notice smoother texture and improved tone within 1-2 weeks. Optimal outcomes typically require 3-4 sessions spaced four weeks apart.

Maintain results with DiamondGlow between treatments to extend the benefits of your Sciton MOXI sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many MOXI treatments will I need?

Most patients achieve their desired results with 3-4 sessions spaced one month apart. Some may benefit from maintenance treatments every 6-12months.

Does MOXI laser hurt?

Topical numbing cream minimizes discomfort during the procedure. Most describe the sensation as warm, slightly prickly, and tolerable.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Wait 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to begin healing properly. Use mineral-based makeup when you resume application.

How is MOXI different from other fractional lasers?

MOXI’s non-ablative approach offers effective results with less downtime and lower risk for darker skin tones. It works beneath the skin’s surface rather than removing the top layer.
