MOXI Laser San Francisco
What Is Moxi Laser Treatment?
Moxi laser is a non-ablative laser energy treatment designed to improve skin tone and texture. It is a great option for younger patients looking to address initial signs of sun damage and aging. The laser treatment is gentle, making it suitable for various skin types.
Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, Moxi laser provides a light touch approach to skin rejuvenation. It helps treat fine lines, poor skin texture, and uneven skin tone with little to no downtime. This makes it ideal for those seeking a skin care journey that delivers results without disrupting daily activities.
How Does Moxi Laser Work?
Moxi laser treatment uses fractionated laser energy to target water within the skin. The Moxi handpiece targets water in the treated area, creating microthermal zones that stimulate skin renewal. This process encourages collagen production and helps refresh skin without the need for aggressive procedures.
Because it is a non-ablative laser energy treatment, it does not remove layers of skin. Instead, it works within the deeper layers to improve signs of sun damage and aging. Patients find that Moxi laser promotes a youthful glow while maintaining the integrity of their skin.
What Does Moxi Treat?
Moxi treatment is effective for multiple skin concerns, including sun damage, uneven skin tone and skin texture irregularities. It can help reduce visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and dullness. Many patients choose Moxi laser to refresh skin and achieve a radiant skin appearance.
It is also a great option for those looking to prevent skin aging before more significant damage occurs. The treatment area can include the face, neck, and chest, helping to create a smoother and more even skin tone. It works well as both a corrective and preventive laser treatment.
