What Is MOXI™?
MOXI™ is a gentle, fractionated laser that helps improve skin tone and texture while minimizing pigmentation, fine lines, and sun damage. Unlike aggressive laser treatments that require extensive downtime, MOXI™ delivers controlled laser energy to targeted areas, allowing the skin to heal naturally while promoting collagen production.

What Makes MOXI™ Different?
If you’re looking for a preventative treatment to maintain a youthful glow or need a solution to reverse early signs of aging, MOXI™ is designed to refresh and revitalize your skin with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
- Non-Ablative Technology – Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers that remove layers of skin, MOXI™ uses a gentle fractional laser to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for long-term skin rejuvenation.
- Minimal Downtime – You won’t have to put your life on hold. Most patients experience mild redness and roughness for a few days, but makeup can be applied just 24 hours post-treatment.
- Quick and Comfortable – A full-face MOXI™ treatment takes only 8-10 minutes (excluding numbing time). Cooling air and numbing cream ensure a comfortable experience.
- Perfect for All Skin Types – Unlike some laser treatments that are not safe for darker skin tones, MOXI™ is safe and effective for all skin tones and can be performed any time of the year.
How Does MOXI™ Work?
MOXI™ delivers fractionated laser energy to the skin, creating micro-coagulation zones that stimulate the body’s natural repair process. This process replaces old, damaged skin cells with new, healthy tissue, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more youthful skin.
What to Expect During Treatment:
- Numbing & Preparation: A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment for maximum comfort.
- Laser Treatment: The MOXI™ handpiece gently glides over the skin, delivering fractionated laser energy to stimulate collagen production.
Cooling & Post-Treatment Care: Cooling air is used throughout the session to minimize discomfort. Afterward, patients should use a moisturizing sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure.

What Does MOXI™ Treat?
MOXI™ is designed to address multiple skin concerns, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking to refresh their skin and prevent visible signs of aging.
Common Concerns Treated with MOXI™:
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Sun damage and pigmentation issues
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Mild skin laxity
- Dull or rough complexion
MOXI™ is also a fantastic maintenance treatment for those who have already undergone more aggressive laser procedures and want to prolong their results with a gentler option.
How Many MOXI™ Treatments Will You Need?
The number of treatments needed depends on your skin’s condition and aesthetic goals.
Recommended Treatment Plan:
- 3-4 initial treatments spaced 4-5 weeks apart for corrective results.
- Regular maintenance sessions to prolong and enhance results.
While some patients see noticeable improvements after just one session, a series of treatments is recommended for optimal skin renewal and long-lasting benefits.
What to Expect After a MOXI™ Treatment
One of the best things about MOXI™ is that it fits seamlessly into any lifestyle. There’s minimal recovery time, making it perfect for those with busy schedules.
Post-Treatment Timeline:
- Day 1: Skin may appear red with a mild sunburn sensation.
- Days 3-5: Micro dots, known as mendz, will darken and feel rough before sloughing off.
- Day 5-7: Smoother, healthier, more radiant skin is revealed.
- 24 Hours Post-Treatment: Makeup can be applied to cover any redness.
With simple post-care—like staying out of direct sunlight and keeping the skin moisturized—your MOXI™ results will continue improving over the next several weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How Comfortable Is the MOXI™ Treatment?
MOXI™ is designed to be a comfortable, low-downtime treatment that most patients tolerate well. While you may feel a warm, tingling sensation during the procedure, it is not painful. The laser creates tiny micro-coagulation zones in the skin, which some patients describe as a mild prickling or heat sensation. To ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible, a topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment. Additionally, cooling air is used throughout the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Patients often compare the sensation to a mild sunburn, but it subsides quickly after the session is over. If you have a lower pain tolerance, your provider may adjust the treatment settings to make the experience even more comfortable.
2. When Will I See Results?
Results from MOXI™ treatments vary based on your skin type, treatment intensity, and individual healing response. Many patients notice an initial improvement within 5-7 days as their skin begins to heal and renew itself. However, because MOXI™ stimulates collagen production and skin cell turnover, the most dramatic improvements develop over several weeks. As the mendz (micro-dots) slough off and fresh, healthy skin is revealed, you will see a smoother, more even complexion with a noticeable radiance boost. Patients who undergo a series of treatments experience even better long-term results, as collagen continues to build over time.
3. Can MOXI™ Be Performed Year-Round?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of MOXI™ is that it is safe to perform in any season, making it a year-round skin maintenance treatment. Unlike aggressive laser procedures that require avoiding the sun for weeks or months, MOXI™ is gentle enough to be performed even in the summer months. This makes it an ideal option for those who want consistent skin rejuvenation without interrupting their lifestyle. However, proper sun protection is still essential, and it is always recommended to use a broad-spectrum SPF and avoid prolonged sun exposure after treatment to protect your investment in your skin.
4. Is MOXI™ Safe for Darker Skin Tones?
Absolutely! MOXI™ is one of the few laser treatments that is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Many traditional laser treatments carry a higher risk of hyperpigmentation for individuals with darker complexions, but MOXI™’s non-ablative fractional technology makes it a gentler alternative. The laser works by creating controlled micro-injuries beneath the skin’s surface without removing the top layer, reducing the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes. Your provider will tailor the settings specifically for your skin tone and concerns, ensuring a safe and effective treatment that delivers visible, lasting results.
5. How Much Downtime Should I Expect?
One of the greatest benefits of MOXI™ is its minimal downtime compared to other laser treatments. After your session, you may experience mild redness, similar to a slight sunburn, and a feeling of tightness or dryness. Depending on the treatment settings, some patients develop tiny micro-dots that will darken and feel rough before flaking off within 3-5 days. Most patients are able to wear makeup just 24 hours post-treatment, allowing them to return to work, social events, and normal routines without interruption. If you are preparing for a special occasion, it is best to schedule your treatment at least a week in advance to allow time for your skin to fully refresh and reveal its radiant, new glow.
6. How Much Does MOXI™ Cost?
The cost of MOXI™ treatments varies based on several factors, including the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and individual skincare goals. Smaller treatment areas, such as the face or hands, may cost less than larger areas like the chest or full body. Additionally, many patients opt for a series of treatments to maximize their results, which may come with package pricing options. To receive a personalized quote, the best approach is to schedule a consultation at AW Medspa. During your consultation, our expert providers will evaluate your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your budget and skincare needs.
