MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. This gentle yet effective treatment can address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.

Post-Treatment:

• Feeling of warmth: The treated area may be extremely warm for 1-2 hours after the treatment. Warmth may continue for 12-24 hours after the treatment. Cold compresses may provide comfort during this time. 
• Redness (Erythema): Redness is normal and expected. Redness generally increases in intensity for the first few days after treatment with day 3 usually being the most intense. Redness can persist for up to 7 days depending on the intensity of the treatment. Use gentle cleansers and keep your skin moisturized and out of the sun to allow your skin time to heal and limit further stress on your skin.
• MENDS: MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) will appear on the 2nd or 3rd day after treatment as tiny dark spots and bronzed appearance to the treated skin. MENDs are part of the healing process where treated tissue is working its way out of your body as new skin is regenerated. During this time, your skin will be very dry and feel like sandpaper before flaking and peeling off. Keep your skin well moisturized to support the healing process. Do NOT pick at your skin. Avoid scratching and itching, as scarring and pigmentation complications can occur. Itching can be relieved by oral Benadryl, but can cause drowsiness.
• Swelling (Edema): Swelling is common and expected immediately following treatment. Use of a cold compress will help to relieve the swelling. To avoid any further swelling, you may choose to sleep in an upright position the first 2-3 nights after the treatment. The first morning post treatment is when swelling is more prevalent, especially under the eyes

Post-Care:

• Cleansing: Cleanse the skin multiple times a day with Puracyn Wound Wash and Clean Skin Club Towels. As an alternative you can use CBD Balancing Cleanser. Use gentle patting motions. DO NOT rub, scrub, use an exfoliant or skin care brush on the treated area. Use a soft cloth or soft towels to avoid any scrubbing. When showering, avoid getting shampoo directly on the treated area. Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating until after skin has healed. Makeup can typically be worn once the peeling process is complete.
• Moisturizer: Moisturizer should be applied generously with clean hands over the treated area and reapplied whenever your skin feels dry. Start with Plated Calm and then transition to Daily Power Defense. As an alternative you can use CBD Barrier Restoring Crème. Avoid any exfoliating polish, complexion renewal pads, vitamin C or any other irritative products for 5-7 days or until the peeling process is complete.
• Sunscreen: Sunscreen is a MUST and should be used daily beginning the day after treatment and used consistently for up to 3 months post procedure. Use a physical sunscreen with Broadband UVA and UVB protection and a SPF of 30. Ensure to reapply during sun exposure. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or protective clothing for 2 months post treatment to avoid blistering, scarring, hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation.
