Thanks for the question. There is truly no downtime with moxi laser. As a facial plastic surgeon, I have had the laser over the noon hour and then continued with clinic in the afternoon. The 1927 wavelength penetrates into the upper layers of the skin, but leaves them intact so no additional “wound care” is required like with CO2 or Erbium laser resurfacing. It is safe for all skin types, including skin of color, and is safe to use along with a comprehensive treatment regimen for melasma. Complete healing occurs over 3-7 days, but is a breeze. Initially, the skin is slightly red. It starts to feel rough like sandpaper, then the “MENDs” flake off and the skin is ultra smooth. It is perfect for “prejuvenation” of skin with little damage to help preserve a fresh appearance, and can be used to correct mild lines, wrinkles, and reduce discoloration.
