Thinking about Laser? Why MOXI® Laser Is A Client Favourite
If you’re curious about laser treatments but don’t want anything aggressive or high‑downtime, MOXI® laser may be exactly what you’re looking for.
Here at The Skin Clinic in Chatham, MOXI is one of our favourite options for improving skin tone, texture, and overall radiance—without putting your life on complete hold.
MOXI is a non‑ablative laser designed to support long‑term skin health. I often describe it as a skin maintenance or prejuvenation treatment—it helps correct early concerns while also working behind the scenes to keep your skin strong, smooth, and glowing.
What Is MOXI Laser?
MOXI works by targeting water within the skin, not pigment. This allows it to gently heat the tissue in tiny, controlled zones, stimulating collagen and speeding up cell turnover—without removing the top layer of skin.
Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing is faster and downtime is minimal. That’s what makes MOXI such a popular choice here at The Skin Clinic for clients who want results without a long recovery.
What Can MOXI Help With?
MOXI is ideal for early to moderate skin concerns, including:
Uneven tone and texture
Sun damage and pigmentation
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Enlarged pores
Dull or tired‑looking skin
Melasma
While it’s most commonly done on the face, MOXI can also be used on the neck and chest—areas that often show pigmentation and early signs of aging too.
Who Is MOXI Best For?
One of the reasons I love MOXI is how versatile it is.
All skin types and tones: Because it targets water rather than melanin, MOXI is safe for a wide range of skin tones when performed properly.
Preventative care: It’s a great option if you’re starting to think about aging but don’t want anything too aggressive.
Busy schedules: Minimal downtime makes it easy to fit into real life.
Skin maintenance clients: Perfect if you’re already committed to medical‑grade skincare and long‑term results.
What Does Treatment Feel Like?
Before we begin, topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable.
During treatment, most people feel a warm, prickly sensation as the laser passes over the skin. Sessions are quick—often under 30 minutes—which is why MOXI is sometimes called a “lunchtime laser.”
Downtime & Healing
After your MOXI treatment, you can expect:
Mild redness or warmth for 24–48 hours
A slightly rough or sandpaper‑like texture as the skin heals
Pigment may darken before it naturally flakes away (this is normal)
Within 5–10 days, your skin will shed these tiny healing points, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. Most clients are back to normal activities quickly and can wear makeup after about 24 hours.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
MOXI works best as a series of treatments, since results build over time:
Typically 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Maintenance once or twice per year to keep skin looking its best.
Combining MOXI With Other Treatments
One of the most popular combinations is MOXI + BBL (BroadBand Light).
BBL targets redness, sunspots, and pigmentation
MOXI refines texture and boosts collagen
Together, they address both tone and texture for a more complete skin refresh. MOXI can also be combined with injectables, microneedling, or customized skincare plans depending on your goals.
Is MOXI Right for You?
MOXI isn’t meant to replace deeper resurfacing lasers—but it’s an excellent choice for preventative care and ongoing skin maintenance.
If you’re looking for brighter, smoother, more even skin with minimal downtime, MOXI may be a great fit. A personalized consultation at The Skin Clinic in Chatham will help determine if MOXI—or a combination of treatments—is right for your skin.
