Q: What is the new technology, Moxi laser?

A:

The Moxi laser provides a gentle approach to rejuvenation generated by a compound call thulium, creates a 1927 nanometer wavelength of light that gently restores your skin luster. The laser energy is delivered in a smooth rolling motion in little packets called fractional energy. The whole face is treated, but the energy is spaced apart to allow the skin to respond but also recover quickly. ALL skin types are a candidate for this laser. It will lightly polish your skin for mild texture improvement. It is an ideal laser for preventative skincare. It also is a great treatment booster for those patients who have had more aggressive treatments in past. It’s great for treating Actinic keratoses, solar lentigos and age spots. For those who suffer from Melasma-you should let your friends know that MOXI is a state of the art treatment great results and with very low chances of unwanted side effects. In a few treatments your skin has substantial color and texture improvement which is comfortably preformed in the office using a topical numbing cream. The use of a state of the art Zimmer chiller allows you to have a very comfortable experience because your skin is cooled as it is treated. For those patients who are a little anxious, Pronox can be administered allowing you to drive yourself home 10 minutes after treatment. The depth and intensity of treatment is decided upon in your consult, but on any age or skin type you can expect brightening of your complexion. Candidates for this treatment should commit to 3-6 treatments, but you will see changes with each treatment. Treatments can be performed as often as monthly to maintain a beautiful complexion at any age. Younger patients on the “prejuvenation” pathway can maintain a fresh look for years with serial treatment at less frequent intervals. The idea of doing a little skin care along the path of life will keep you looking great is a very valid principle, and this laser fits that notion perfectly. You may treat face, neck, declottage and hands in a single session that takes about 20 minutes of laser treatment time. After you are treated you simply apply gentle moisturizer a few times a day and sunblock for 5-7 days. You may resume your anti-aging skin care regimen by 7 days.

Lighten, Brighten and refresh with MOXI!
