THE HOW

HOW IT'S DONE:
It is a non-ablative fractionated laser that converts electrical energy into light. When converted to light it then targets pigment by creating tiny, micro injuries in the superficial top layer of skin. These micro injuries stimulate the dermal repair process, revitalizing tone and texture and reducing the appearance of brown and red spots caused by sun damage or aging.
RESULTS, RECOVERY, FREQUENCY
Recovery is 3-4 days with no downtime. You will need multiple Moxi treatments to see a significant results. The more treatments you do, the better your results will be. It is recommended you do 3-4 sessions, spaced a week apart. Once you have received your desired look, it is helpful to have follow up treatments 1-2 times a year.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The treated area may be extremely warm for 1-2 hours after the treatment. Warmth may continue for 12-24 hours after the treatment.
Redness and swelling are 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 treatment.
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.
