Gentle Laser, Big Impact

What is MOXI Laser Skin Resurfacing?

MOXI is a fractional non-ablative laser treatment that promotes skin renewal and stimulates collagen production. Its advanced laser technology creates smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin by targeting the deeper layers of the epidermis and dermis. This heat triggers the skin’s natural regeneration process—stimulating collagen production, reducing pigment irregularities, and smoothing surface texture.

Unlike deeper resurfacing lasers, MOXI is safe for all skin tones and can be performed year-round. It’s especially popular for patients who want visible results without the social downtime of more aggressive treatments. At the MODERN, we tailor the intensity of your treatment to your specific goals—whether you're addressing early aging or maintaining a polished glow.

Midday Makeover

Your MOXI Treatment

We will apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to keep you comfortable. You may feel heat as the device passes over your skin and delivers controlled pulses of energy. Typically, we only need 8 to 10 minutes to treat the face (excluding the time for the anesthetic to work). As a “lunchtime procedure,” MOXI is designed for comfort, convenience, and minimal downtime.

How It Works

MOXI delivers precise laser energy to the skin in tiny, evenly spaced microthermal zones. This carefully controlled approach uses “fractional photothermolysis” to generate heat in these areas while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. In turn, this heat stimulates collagen production and cell turnover for visible improvements in the skin’s texture, tone, firmness, and elasticity.

Back to Glow —Quickly

MOXI Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery

You may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort after MOXI. These sunburn-like effects typically subside within a few days. Depending on the depth of treatment, you may see some dark, rough spots form. As these naturally slough off within 3 to 5 days, you will discover the fresh, healthy skin beneath.

During your recovery period, keep your skin moisturized and protected from the sun's harmful rays. Avoid harsh products that can sensitize your skin. We recommend using a gentle cleanser in the morning and at night. Although you will see quick improvements in skin quality, your results will continue to improve as your skin produces more collagen and undergoes a process of renewal.
