The Approach
Renewed Skin, From Within
Moxi refreshes your skin from beneath the surface while leaving the surface intact. Laser resurfacing falls into two categories. Ablative lasers remove the outer layer of skin for dramatic results with a longer recovery. Non-ablative lasers, including Moxi, gently pass through the outer layer, delivering warmth to the deeper skin and inviting your body to rebuild fresh collagen from within. Your skin’s surface stays protected, which is why Moxi’s downtime is measured in days rather than weeks.
At Artisan Beauté in Atlanta, Moxi is a beautiful introduction to laser resurfacing and a treatment many patients enjoy for years as part of their skincare routine.
Candidacy
Is Moxi Right for You?
Moxi is ideal when your goals center on skin quality, including tone, texture, pigment, and early fine lines. For concerns such as loose skin or a softened jawline, our team can guide you toward treatments designed to restore structure.
Your provider will recommend the laser or combination that best suits your skin, whether that is Moxi, Halo, BBL, or a pairing of treatments.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Would like to improve sun damage, uneven tone, dullness, rough texture, enlarged pores, or fine lines
- Want visible improvement with minimal downtime
- Have a deeper skin tone and are looking for a laser suited to your skin, since Moxi is designed for all skin types and tones
- Are in your late twenties or thirties and want to maintain healthy, radiant skin, often called prejuvenation
- Are ready to complete a series and protect your results with daily sun care
Scope
What Moxi Treats
Moxi Beautifully Improves
- Sun damage
- Freckles
- Age spots
- Uneven tone and dullness
- Rough texture and
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Acne scarring and other textural scarring
The Moxi Laser is a prejuvenation treatment, helping healthy skin stay that way.
Treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, and backs of the hands, so your results look seamless wherever sun exposure has left its mark. Many patients find the neck and chest especially rewarding to include.
When Another Treatment May Be Best
Loose skin, jowls, and a softened jawline respond best to structural treatments. Deeper wrinkles may benefit from an ablative laser such as CO2, and volume loss can be restored with filler or fat grafting. Melasma requires a personalized approach, and your provider will discuss your options in detail.
The Procedure
How Moxi Works
Moxi is a fractional, non-ablative laser by Sciton. Fractional means the energy is delivered in thousands of microscopic columns, leaving healthy skin between them. That untouched skin helps you heal quickly, which is why recovery takes days instead of weeks.
Your provider begins with a topical numbing cream, then gently glides the handpiece across the treatment area. You will feel warmth and a light prickling sensation. The device continuously monitors your skin’s temperature and adjusts, a thoughtful safety feature that helps make Moxi suitable for all skin tones.
Your session takes 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the area. Energy and depth are tailored to your skin type and goals, and targeted serums can be applied afterward. Over the following days, your skin gently releases damaged pigment, and over the following weeks, it builds fresh collagen. Your treatment begins the renewal, and your skin continues it beautifully.
Choosing
Moxi or Halo: Which Is Right for You?
Moxi
Non-ablative
- A gentle, non-ablative fractional laser
- Ideal for early aging, dullness, uneven tone and texture, prejuvenation, and maintenance, on all skin tones
- 1 to 3 days of downtime
Halo
Hybrid
- A hybrid laser combining ablative and non-ablative energy in one treatment
- Ideal for more significant sun damage and deeper texture, with stronger results in fewer sessions
- 3 to 5 days of downtime
Your provider will help you choose the laser that best fits your skin and your schedule. Many patients also pair Moxi with BBL in the same visit. Moxi refines texture while BBL corrects color, and together they create a beautifully even, luminous result. It is one of our most loved combinations.
Longevity
How Long Do Moxi Results Last?
Moxi results are long-lasting, and because your skin continues to age naturally, maintenance helps keep it looking its best. A series offers a fresh start, with brighter tone, smoother texture, and less visible pigment. Daily moisturizer, SPF 30 or higher, a consistent skincare routine, and a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months help you enjoy your glow for years to come.
Recovery
Your Moxi Recovery Timeline
Moxi offers minimal downtime, and knowing what to expect helps you plan with confidence.
Day of treatment
Warmth, flushing, and mild swelling, similar to a light sunburn. Skip makeup for 24 hours.
Days 1 to 2
Redness fades and skin may feel dry or rough. Tiny dark spots, called MENDs, may appear as your skin releases pigment. This is a normal part of the process.
Days 3 to 5
Light bronzing and fine flaking may appear. Avoid picking or exfoliating, moisturize often, and let your skin shed naturally.
Days 5 to 10
Flaking resolves, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
Weeks 2 to 12
Collagen continues to build, and your tone and texture keep improving.
Most patients return to makeup and social plans by day two or three.

FAQ
Moxi FAQs
What does non-ablative actually mean?
A non-ablative laser passes through the outer layer of skin without removing it, delivering warmth to the deeper skin to stimulate renewal. Your surface stays intact, which is why Moxi requires only a few days of downtime.
Moxi is gentler, with 1 to 3 days of downtime, and is ideal for early aging, dullness, and maintenance. Halo is a hybrid laser that treats more deeply, offering stronger results in fewer sessions with 3 to 5 days of downtime. For more significant sun damage, your provider may recommend Halo.
Is Moxi safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Moxi is designed for all skin types and tones, making laser resurfacing accessible to patients who may have been told lasers were not an option for them.
How much does Moxi cost?
Your cost depends on the treatment area, whether you add the neck, chest, or hands, the number of sessions, and whether you pair Moxi with BBL. You will receive personalized pricing at your visit, and financing is available.
Will my skin peel after Moxi?
Yes, lightly. Around days three to five, your skin may bronze slightly and shed a fine, sandpaper-like layer. Moisturize and let it shed naturally.
How many Moxi sessions will I need?
Most patients enjoy a series of three sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart, followed by maintenance. One session brings a lovely glow, and a series delivers deeper correction.
Should I choose Moxi or BBL?
They work beautifully together. BBL targets color, such as redness, rosacea, and brown spots, while Moxi refines texture and tone. Many patients combine both, often in the same visit.
Does Moxi hurt?
Most patients feel warmth and light prickling. Topical numbing is applied beforehand, and most find the treatment very comfortable.
Can Moxi treat melasma?
Melasma can be sensitive to heat, so it requires a careful, personalized approach. Your provider will assess your skin and recommend whether Moxi, another treatment, or a combination is best for you.
When will I see my Moxi results?
Brighter tone and smoother texture appear at 7 to 10 days, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen builds.
