MOXI is a gentle fractional laser by Sciton that refreshes tone and texture with very little downtime. It is often called a “prejuvenation” laser because it suits people in their 20s and 30s who want to prevent early ageing, as well as anyone who wants brighter skin without a long recovery.
Why Choose Charisma for MOXI Laser
- The Sciton platform — MOXI, HALO and BBL HERO are available in the same clinic, so the laser can be matched to your skin rather than to one machine.
- Doctor-set parameters — depth and density adjusted to your skin type and concern.
- Combination planning — MOXI with BBL for pigment and redness, or with boosters for hydration.
- Darker-skin experience — conservative settings and pre-treatment for skin prone to pigmentation.
What Is MOXI?
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser at 1927nm. It creates tiny columns of controlled heat in the upper skin layers while leaving the surrounding skin intact. The skin replaces the treated cells and produces new collagen, which improves tone, texture and pore size.
Who Is MOXI For?
- Uneven tone — sun spots, early pigmentation and dullness.
- Rough texture — enlarged pores and uneven surface.
- Fine lines — early signs of ageing around the eyes and cheeks.
- Prejuvenation — younger patients who want to keep collagen quality.
- Busy schedules — people who can only take one or two quiet days.
Key Benefits
- Brighter complexion — more even colour after a few sessions.
- Smoother skin — refined texture and smaller-looking pores.
- Collagen support — gradual improvement in firmness.
- Short downtime — usually 1 to 3 days of redness and a sandpaper feel.
- Year-round option — suitable in the UAE with careful sun protection.
MOXI vs HALO: Which Sciton Laser Do You Need?
- MOXI — non-ablative only, lighter treatment, minimal downtime. Best for maintenance, mild pigment and younger skin.
- HALO — hybrid laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. Stronger results for deeper wrinkles, scarring and sun damage, with 5 to 7 days of downtime.
Many patients start with HALO for correction and then use MOXI for maintenance.
MOXI + BBL
BBL (BroadBand Light) treats redness, broken capillaries and brown spots. Combining BBL with MOXI in the same visit addresses colour and texture together. This pairing is popular for sun-damaged skin and for patients who want visible change with little downtime.
MOXI by Age
- 20s — 2 to 3 sessions a year for glow and prevention.
- 30s — a series of 3 sessions, then maintenance, for early pigment and texture.
- 40s and above — MOXI as maintenance after stronger treatments, or combined with BBL and skin boosters.
Treatment Procedure
- Consultation — skin assessment, goals and pre-treatment instructions.
- Numbing — topical cream for about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Laser treatment — the handpiece is passed over the face for about 15 to 20 minutes, with eye protection.
- Post-treatment care — cooling, soothing balm and sunscreen.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- No tanning — avoid sun exposure and self-tan for 2 weeks.
- Pause retinoids — stop retinol and exfoliating acids 5 to 7 days before.
- Cold sores — tell your doctor if you get them; antiviral cover may be prescribed.
MOXI Downtime Day by Day
- Day 1 — redness and warmth, similar to mild sunburn.
- Days 2 to 3 — a rough, sandpaper texture and small dark specks (MENDs) as pigment rises.
- Days 4 to 7 — the specks flake off and the skin looks brighter.
Aftercare
- Gentle cleanser and moisturiser — for the first week.
- SPF 50 daily — and avoid direct sun for 2 weeks.
- Do not pick — let the specks shed on their own.
Combined Protocols
- MOXI with skin boosters — hydration plus resurfacing.
- MOXI with medical peels — alternating sessions for pigment.
- MOXI after HALO — maintenance between stronger sessions.
