How does Moxi compare to other laser resurfacing treatments?

Question

What is the best way to determine if Moxi is the right choice for me? There are a lot of lasers out there but it appeals to me that this is new.

Daniel J. Givens, MD · Answer

The Moxi fractional 1927 laser is an excellent choice for busy patients who cannot take time for traditional post-resurfacing downtime.  The laser is safe for all skin types, and is good to smooth the skin texture, reduce fine lines, and reduce discoloration.  It can be used safely as part of a comprehensive regimen for melasma treatment.  
Moxi is not an appropriate choice for patients with advanced skin aging who hope to reduce heavy wrinkles and tighten skin.  Other lasers like Fractional CO2 laser, and Halo laser are more appropriate choices in this case.
Moxi is great for "prejuvenation" of skin of younger patients with less age and sun damage who want to improve fine lines, smooth skin texture, and reduce discoloration.

Best wishes,

Moxi is a ligher laser and helps with pores, we love it every 4-8 weeks along with peels between at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging. For facial rejuvenation, I would suggest a combination approach of 1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling 2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors 3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/Halo, Viva, Co2/Erbium 4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill 5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting 6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest 7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8/PiXel8 for tightening of the skin 8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

To know what is the best choice for you, I recommend getting an in-person formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Moxi is a non ablative laser that is safe on all skin types with little to no downtime. Moxi revitalizes your skin by correcting initial signs of sun damage and aging. It also improves skin tone and texture. Although improvements can be seen with just one treatment, a series of 3-4 is suggested for best results.
