Our double-board certified plastic surgeon in Zionsville, Dr. Emily Hrisomalos, is pleased to offer MOXI laser skin resurfacing, an advanced, non-ablative treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. Whether you are beginning to notice early signs of sun damage or simply want to maintain a youthful, radiant complexion, MOXI is designed to provide a gentle yet effective solution. Suitable for a wide range of skin types and lifestyles, MOXI can be an ideal introduction to laser rejuvenation or a powerful maintenance treatment for those already familiar with aesthetic laser therapies.
What Are the Benefits of MOXI Laser Treatment?
The Sciton® MOXI laser is specifically engineered to deliver noticeable results with little disruption to daily life. Key benefits offered by this treatment include:
- Improved skin tone and texture for a smoother, brighter appearance
- Reduction of early signs of aging such as fine lines and mild wrinkles
- Correction of sun damage and pigmentation irregularities
- Minimal downtime, often allowing patients to resume normal activities within a day
- Year-round versatility, making it an excellent option even in the summer months when other lasers may be less suitable
Patients often describe the treatment as a quick “lunchtime refresh,” making it easy to fit into busy schedules while still achieving meaningful improvements. It is a great treatment to undergo a couple of weeks prior to a big event. Additionally, while MOXI laser therapy can be an effective procedure on its own, it can also be combined with facial plastic surgery options or other non-surgical aesthetic treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
What Skin Concerns Can MOXI Laser Therapy Treat?
MOXI laser skin resurfacing targets a variety of common complexion concerns, including:
- Uneven pigmentation and brown spots
- Early fine lines and mild textural irregularities
- Dullness caused by accumulated sun exposure
- Rough patches and enlarged pores
- General loss of youthful radiance
Because MOXI can gently stimulate new collagen production and accelerate cell turnover, the treatment can benefit both preventative skincare routines and ongoing maintenance for patients of many ages.
Dr. Hrisomalos offers a full array of aesthetic laser treatments here at our practice. During your initial consultation, we can determine whether the MOXI technique or another state-of-the-art option is best for your needs and concerns.
Is MOXI Laser Treatment Safe for All Skin Types?
One of MOXI’s most appealing qualities is its ability to treat all skin types and tones as safely as possible. The non-ablative fractional technology can deliver energy below the skin’s surface without damaging the outer layer, significantly reducing the risk of pigment changes or complications that can occur with more aggressive lasers.
Our providers carefully evaluate each patient’s skin characteristics and goals to determine whether MOXI offers an ideal solution alone or combined with other procedures. Because of its gentle profile, MOXI can be performed at any time of year, even when there is moderate sun exposure.
How Is the MOXI Laser Treatment Performed?
During a MOXI session, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to maximize comfort. The handheld laser device then glides across the skin, delivering controlled fractional energy that heats the underlying tissue. This stimulates collagen remodeling and encourages the skin’s natural healing process, which can lead to a brighter, more even complexion.
A full-face treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes, and most patients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or tingling rather than pain. Depending on your goals, we may recommend a single session or a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
What Is Recovery Like After MOXI Laser Treatment?
Recovery following MOXI is refreshingly simple for most individuals. Mild redness and a slightly rough texture, often called “sandpaper” skin, are common for the first few days. Tiny micro-dots, known as “mends,” form as part of the healing process and should naturally slough away within three to five days. Most patients are able to return to work or social activities the next day, provided they use gentle skincare and broad-spectrum sunscreen as directed.
Our team provides customized post-treatment instructions, which may include specialized moisturizers and strict sun protection to enhance healing and protect your results.
How Long Do MOXI Laser Treatment Results Last?
Patients typically notice an initial glow within a week, with progressive improvements in tone and texture over the following month as new collagen develops. Results can last several months and often longer with proper skincare and sun protection.
To maintain a consistently vibrant complexion, many patients choose periodic maintenance sessions—often two to four treatments per year—depending on individual needs and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure.
How Much Does MOXI Laser Treatment Cost?
The cost of MOXI laser skin resurfacing varies among patients according to factors such as:
- The size and number of the areas being treated
- The number of sessions recommended
- Any additional treatments chosen for the customized treatment plan
Once your treatment plan is in place, a member of our team will develop a total cost estimate during the initial consultation and answer your questions. Our practice accepts multiple forms of payment and can discuss available financing options for qualified applicants to help make this treatment as convenient as possible.
