Avoid Sun
Avoid direct sun and all forms of tanning (including self-tanner or spray tans) on the treatment area for 2 weeks before and after your treatment.
Discontinue Exfoliants
Discontinue Retin-A, Glycolics, Alpha or Beta Hydroxy Acids, and exfoliants for one week prior to each treatment. Discontinue Accutane (and any isotretinoin products) for 12 months prior.
Cold Sores
If your face will be treated and you have a history of facial cold sores, please notify us in advance so that we may provide you with a prescription for antiviral medication to start before your treatment. The CO2 treatment cannot be performed on your face if you have an active cold sore.
Hydrate Skin
Best results are achieved when the skin is well hydrated at the time of treatment. For this reason, use these products for 14 days prior to treatment: Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar, Alastin Silk Shield Mineral SPF 30
Hyperpigmentation
For patients who may have an increased risk of (PIH) post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation post treatment, use the following products for 14 days prior to treatment: iS Clinical Brightening Complex and Alastin Silk Shield Mineral SPF 30
Be Healthy
It is important that you are in good health at the time of your treatment to ensure your body has a healthy healing response after the treatment. Healthy healing is important for your safety (i.e. to minimize infection) and to ensure good results.
Results + Follow Ups
It is important to wait at least 4 weeks after a CO2 treatment and until any redness, swelling and/or peeling have completely resolved before getting other treatments on the same area. Anticipate it taking 3-6 months after your final CO2 treatment to see complete results.
Clean Skin
Please come to your appointment with clean skin – remove all makeup, creams and lotions.
Dress Comfortably
Please dress so that you may comfortably and modestly expose the treatment area, when applicable (i.e. chest).
Medications
If antiviral medication was prescribed for you, please make sure to continue to take as directed. Acetaminophen/Tylenol may be taken if needed to relieve any discomfort. NSAIDS and anti-inflammatories, should not be used for 1-week post treatment.
No Ice
Do not apply ice or any type of cooling to the area post treatment.
Products to Use
The products below should be used following your treatment: Alastin Regenerative Skin Nectar, Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream, Alastin Ultra Light Moisturizer with TriHex Technology, Alastin Silk Shield All Mineral SPF 30, and Alastin Soothe and Protect Recovery Balm.
Be Gentle
Avoid using exfoliants, retinols, alpha or beta hydroxy acids, or topical Vitamin C products for at least a week after the treatment. Do not use any mechanical cleaning devices (i.e., Clarisonic), facial scrubs or washcloths on the treated area - only wash the area with your hands – for at least a week.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a large-brimmed hat and minimum 35 SPF for at least 2 weeks post-treatment. This is important to ensure proper healing and to minimize chances of scarring.
Avoid Heat / Exercise
Avoid heat, saunas, hot tubs, and sweaty activity; this includes exercise of any kind.
Keep Clean
Do not apply makeup to the treated area and keep it as clean as possible until any “sandpapery” skin, scabs, or peeling have resolved. Do not allow anything unclean to come in contact with the treated skin - this includes touching the skin with unclean hands. Tinted sunblock may safely be used.
Peeling and Flaking
Peeling and flaking after treatment are normal. Allow the skin to flake off naturally and do not rub, pick, or peel the skin off as it heals. This may result in scarring and infection.
Schedule Follow Ups
Please schedule your follow-up appointment 90 days after your final treatment to assess results and determine whether additional treatments are needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MOXI Laser?
MOXI Laser is a type of fractional laser system used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. It’s designed to address various skin concerns and promote skin rejuvenation. MOXI Laser is a versatile and effective tool for achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin with minimal discomfort and downtime. It’s commonly used in dermatology clinics and medical spas by trained professionals to help patients achieve their skincare goals.
How does MOXI work?
MOXI Laser utilizes fractional laser technology, which delivers precise microbeams of laser energy to target specific areas of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This promotes faster healing and minimal downtime. The laser energy stimulates collagen production in the skin, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness over time. This can lead to a more youthful and radiant complexion. Moxi is designed to provide tonal and textural improvements to your face with low downtime, resulting in skin renewal.
What is included in the price of treatment?
We believe medical grade skin care is integral and critical to the results of the treatment, therefore a post care kit is included in the price of a single treatment, or a series. Once home and at the appropriate time, you may begin to use the medical grade skin to ensure healing and great results.
How Long Does it Take to See Results from MOXI?
Results vary depending on your treatment goals. For the day following your treatment, your skin may appear red and, depending on your level of treatment, you may see the small micro dots called mendz where the laser was applied. As the microzones heal, they will darken and feel rough. Between days 3-5, the mendz will slough off, revealing the renewed skin beneath.
What Does MOXI by Sciton do?
MOXI Laser is effective for improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and pigmentation irregularities. MOXI also effectively targets melasma, commonly referred to as pregnancy mask, by delivering precise beams of laser energy to the affected areas of the skin, breaking down excess pigment and promoting skin renewal. Through collagen stimulation and controlled resurfacing, MOXI Laser helps diminish the appearance of melasma, leading to a more even complexion and renewed confidence.
What is the Recovery Time for MOXI Laser Resurfacing?
Due to its fractional technology, MOXI Laser treatments typically require minimal downtime compared to traditional ablative laser procedures. Patients can usually resume their normal activities shortly after treatment. Patients should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day, or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities, excluding those that expose your skin to the sun. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated.
Who is a Good Candidate for MOXI Skin Rejuvenation?
You are! Whether you have sensitive or dark skin, this treatment suits all skin types. Moxi, Non-ablative fractional laser technology is a versatile solution that caters to the unique needs of everyone. Beautiful skin knows no age limits, either. Whether in your 20s, 40s, or beyond, non-ablative fractional laser technology can help you maintain a youthful appearance and address common skin concerns.
Does MOXI Laser Therapy Hurt?
Depending on the level of treatment provided, most patients find the treatment well tolerated. Your practitioner may use cooling air and recommend numbing cream to help ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. After the treatment, your skin will feel tight and warm.
How Many MOXI Treatments will I need?
This will depend on your treatment goals and level of damage. Most patients receive 3-4 corrective treatments, then often will sign up for regular maintenance treatments throughout the year. Our Medical Providers will often recommend combining the treatment with BBL Laser for optimal results.
When can I Return to My Skincare Routine?
Your MOXI treatment comes with a post-care kit to ensure your skin is properly protected and nourished after your procedure. These products are required to be used for a minimum of 14 days following your appointment. After two weeks, it is safe to exfoliate the skin. Many patients choose to schedule a DiamondGlow Facial treatment to help exfoliate between treatments. Love your skin by adding a MOXI treatment to your regular skin care maintenance routine.
