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.

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.

The Ultimate Power Combo: MOXI™ + BBL® Hero™

While standalone MOXI™ focuses on cellular-level resurfacing and texture refine, pairing it with Sciton BBL® (BroadBand Light) creates a comprehensive treatment capable of clearing complex skin concerns in a single appointment.

How MOXI™ & BBL® Work Together

By stacking intense pulsed light with fractionated laser energy, we target both surface discoloration and deep structural aging at the same time:

  • Step 1: BBL® Hero™ (Tone & Vascularity) — Emits high-intensity light pulses to absorb unwanted red and brown pigments. It targets active sun spots, age spots, facial redness, rosacea, and visible spider veins.

  • Step 2: MOXI™ (Texture & Collagen) — Follows with 1927nm non-ablative laser energy to clear sub-surface pigment, smooth fine lines, shrink enlarged pores, and stimulate collagen production.

 

Enhanced Skin Renewal: MOXI™ + Microneedling

For patients dealing with deeper texture issues, enlarged pores, or acne scarring, combining MOXI™ with Clinical Microneedling delivers deep structural remodeling without extending your recovery window.

Why Pair MOXI™ with Microneedling?

While MOXI™ creates controlled micro-coagulation zones in the upper dermis, microneedling creates mechanical micro-channels in the deeper skin layers.

  • Deeper Collagen Induction: Microneedling reaches deeper dermal layers to rebuild lost structural support, making it ideal for stubborn acne scars and crepey texture.

  • Refined Surface Polish: MOXI™ polishes the superficial layer, lifting sun spots and smoothing fine surface lines.

  • Maximum Absorption: Performing microneedling immediately prior to laser or topical serums opens micro-channels, maximizing skin renewal and healing efficiency.

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.
