Sciton Moxi is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser designed to deliver real skin improvement with minimal downtime. Unlike ablative lasers that remove the surface of the skin, Moxi works beneath it—stimulating cellular turnover and collagen production without disrupting the outer layer. The result is a treatment that fits into a busy schedule while delivering consistent, cumulative results that build over time.
Moxi uses a 1927 nm thulium fiber laser to create microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the dermis. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural repair process, prompting fresh cell turnover and new collagen formation. Over the following days, the skin sheds damaged pigment and dull surface cells, to reveal clearer, more even-toned skin beneath.
Moxi is an ideal treatment for patients looking to address early signs of aging and sun damage before they become more advanced concerns. It effectively reduces uneven skin tone, sunspots, and discoloration while improving overall radiance, skin texture, and that sought-after glow. It is also commonly used as a maintenance treatment for patients who have previously undergone more intensive resurfacing procedures like Halo.
Moxi is also exceptionally well-suited for all skin tones, including the darkest skin types that are not always good candidates for higher-energy lasers.
Treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort, and most patients describe the sensation as a light prickling or warmth during the procedure. The skin will appear flushed and may feel similar to a mild sunburn immediately following treatment. Over the next 2–3 days, tiny dark specks known as MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) rise to the surface and exfoliates naturally. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day or the next morning.
Patients typically notice brighter, more even skin within a week. Because Moxi works by encouraging the skin’s own renewal process, results continue to improve with each treatment. A series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal correction, with annual or biannual maintenance treatments to preserve long-term results.
