MOXISkin Laser ResurfacingAustin

Designed as a gentle "prejuvenation" treatment, MOXISkin delivers targeted laser energy to correct early signs of sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and rough texture before they become deeper skin concerns.

What Is MOXISkin?

MOXISkin uses Sciton’s gentle 1927 nm fractionated laser to target sun damage and uneven tone without stripping the top layer of skin. By creating microscopic thermal treatment zones beneath the surface, it triggers rapid cellular renewal to replace damaged pigment with fresh, healthy skin tissue—all with minimal downtime.

Because this non-ablative process protects the outer skin barrier, it avoids excessive heat build-up. This makes MOXISkin safe for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I–VI) and suitable to perform year-round, even during bright Austin summers.

The Benefits of MOXISkin at Face Austin

Corrects Pigmentation & Melasma: Safely breaks up stubborn sunspots, freckles, and patchy discoloration (including heat-sensitive melasma).
Smooths Skin Texture: Refines uneven surface texture and minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores.
Minimal Downtime: Experience mild post-treatment redness similar to a light sunburn that resolves quickly, allowing you to return to work immediately.
Year-Round Safe: Unlike aggressive lasers, MOXISkin fits effortlessly into your active lifestyle any month of the year.
Ideal for "Prejuvenation": Perfect for younger patients looking to delay early signs of aging or maintain previous laser results.

Ideal Candidates for MOXISkin

MOXISkin is a versatile laser treatment suitable for men and women of all ages and skin types.

You are an ideal candidate for MOXI in Austin if you want to address:

Early signs of aging or sun damage
Uneven skin tone or dark spots
Melasma or hyperpigmentation
Rough, uneven skin texture or enlarged pores

What to Expect During Your MOXISkin Treatment

Preparation: A topical numbing cream is applied 30 to 45 minutes prior to treatment to ensure maximum comfort.
The Procedure: As the MOXISkin handpiece glides smoothly across your face, you will feel a mild prickling or warm sensation. The treatment takes roughly 12 to 15 minutes.
Immediate Aftercare: A cooling post-treatment serum and medical-grade SPF are applied so you can step out safely.

Recovery & Results After Your Procedure

Day 1–2: Your skin will appear slightly pink or red and feel warm and tight (similar to a mild sunburn).
Day 3–5: Microscopic epidermal necrotic debris (MENDS) will form, giving your skin a sandpaper-like texture as tiny dark spots rise to the surface.
Day 5–7: MENDS naturally slough off during gentle washing, revealing a smooth, bright, and refreshed complexion.

MOXI FAQs

Can MOXI laser treat melasma?

Yes. Because it uses a non-ablative 1927 nm wavelength that doesn't generate excessive deep heat, it is one of the safest and most effective laser options for managing melasma without triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Can I wear makeup after my MOXI procedure?

You can apply mineral makeup 24 hours post-treatment. We advise keeping your skin hydrated and protected with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

How does MOXISkin feel during the appointment?

Thanks to the topical numbing cream applied beforehand and the built-in cooling technology on the Sciton handpiece, most patients experience only a mild warming or light prickling sensation. Patients often compare it to tiny static sparks on the skin.

Can MOXISkin be used on areas other than the face?

Absolutely, MOXISkin is highly effective for treating sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and rough texture on off-face areas, including the neck, décolletage (chest), shoulders, and the backs of the hands.
