The Gold Standard for Pigmentation & Prejuvenation for All Skin Types
Unlock a bright, filter-free complexion with MOXI™ by Sciton®, widely recognized as the medical aesthetic gold standard for targeting unwanted pigmentation, sun damage, and melasma.
While traditional chemical peels only exfoliate the surface layer and older ablative lasers carry high downtime and hyperpigmentation risks for darker skin, MOXI’s non-ablative fractionated technology safely breaks up deep pigment at the cellular level with minimal downtime. It is the ultimate year-round “lunchtime procedure” for correcting sun damage and preventing future signs of aging.

How MOXI Works: The 1927nm Advantage
MOXI utilizes a 1927nm non-ablative thulium laser wavelength to create thousands of microscopic coagulation zones in the upper layers of the skin.
The Science: By targeting sub-surface water rather than surface pigment, MOXI forces damaged, hyperpigmented cells to shed naturally while stimulating fresh collagen—all while leaving the skin’s top protective barrier intact.
What MOXI Treats & Corrects:
Pigmentation & Sun Damage: Superior removal of sun spots, age spots, and freckles.
Melasma & Hyperpigmentation: The gold-standard solution for clearing heat-sensitive discoloration without skin trauma.
Uneven Tone & Texture: Refines rough texture for a velvety, luminous finish.
Enlarged Pores & Fine Lines: Tightens skin matrix to smooth early signs of aging.
Prejuvenation: Proactively maintains youthful collagen before visible aging sets in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is MOXI better than chemical peels or other lasers for pigmentation?
Chemical peels only target top-layer skin cells and often require multiple aggressive sessions to lighten deep pigment. Older lasers can generate excessive heat, which often worsens melasma or causes hyperpigmentation in darker skin. MOXI precisely targets deep micro-zones of water, lifting pigment safely without skin trauma or extended downtime.
Is there any downtime with MOXI?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24 hours. Over days 3 to 5, tiny micro-dots (MENDS) will feel like sandpaper before shedding naturally to reveal glowing skin.
