A MOXI laser treatment can improve a wide variety of skin issues, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Rough texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Dull complexion
• Pigmentation
• Prevents and/or slows skin damage and signs of aging
• Boosts collagen production
• Firms and plumps skin

The MOXI system is a non-ablative laser, meaning it can resurface and improve the skin without physical injury to the skin, unlike deeper laser skin resurfacing treatments. MOXI is a "prejuvenation" treatment ideal for those wanting to maintain a more youthful, healthy skin appearance or those who need a light touchup to correct the initial signs of aging and skin damage. Often used as a pre-treatment to the more powerful HALO™ laser skin resurfacing system, MOXI offers three treatment strengths:

• Level 1 – Prevent and Refresh
• Level 2 – Revitalize and Maintain
• Level 3 – Transform and Renew

When you've decided on your MOXI plan, you will relax in one of our comfortable treatment rooms while the skin areas to be treated are cleaned of oil, dirt, and skin care products. Most patients say they don't need an anesthetic cream, but we can provide it for the deeper treatments if you want. We will pass the handpiece over your skin a specified number of times in a procedure that only takes about 10 – 15 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Once you're done, you'll be able to return to your normal routine since MOXI is a gentle yet effective laser treatment. There is little to no downtime, unlike the longer recovery times associated with more aggressive laser treatments. With deeper treatments, there may be some minor redness, puffiness, or skin sensitivity, but this usually only lasts for a few days. Most patients will see the best results with about 3 – 4 treatments to start.

Can I wear makeup after MOXI laser treatment?
After MOXI laser treatment at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics, our skin specialists generally recommend avoiding wearing makeup for the first 24 hours to allow the skin to heal properly. However, you can typically resume wearing makeup and using other skin care products after this initial period. Our knowledgeable team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and a smooth recovery process.

Does MOXI laser hurt?
The MOXI laser is known to be gentle and tolerable among most Puyallup, WA patients. A topical numbing cream will be applied before the start of your procedure to further enhance comfort. Some individuals may experience a mild warming sensation during the treatment, similar to a sunburn, but it is usually well-managed and short-lived.

How long will it take until I see results after a MOXI laser treatment?
The results of MOXI skin rejuvenation are usually noticed almost right away. Some patients in Puyallup, WA may see initial improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days after the treatment. However, the full benefits of MOXI typically become more apparent in 3 – 5 days as the skin undergoes natural healing and collagen remodeling.

Is there any special skincare regimen I should follow after MOXI laser treatment?
Following a MOXI treatment, adhering to a specific skin care regimen is crucial for enhancing and maintaining the results. Our team at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics will recommend a gentle, hydrating skin care routine that includes a broad-spectrum sunscreen, a mild cleanser, and a moisturizer suited to your skin type.
