Moxi is Hard Core

I have strange sun spots on the underside of my arms(the whitest part of my arms where it doesn't get exposed to sun) Anyhow, I've had numerous BBL's with NO results so I found someone to do Moxi. I now have what looks and feels like 3rd degree burns. Very painful! Hard to wear a long sleeve shirt as it hurts when the shirt rubs against the burns. I tried wearing sleeves to protect my arms after the treatment but the sleeves stuck to certain areas on my arms and I had to peel it off my skin!! Brutal!!! I started to bleed as I guess I was peeling skin off while pulling off my sleeves. IF this gets rid of the spots then I guess it's worth it but it's pretty painful. I also think that my Dr. did this at the highest level with numerous passes in certain areas. He did a test area a month before and it wasn't anywhere this bad but I'm guessing because he didn't do it at the highest level and fewer passes per area. Very nice and caring Dr though. I've been to some doozies in the past! I posted 1 pic of what the inside of my arm looked like before the Moxi. I will post more after healing to see what came of all this

It looks like you have full surface burns. Moxi should NOT have done this to you because it is non-ablative, meaning it doesn't remove skin (like a CO2, erbium laser or Halo). Moxi is fractionated. I would certainly demand to know why you are so badly burned. Further, I would get some SkinMedica Scar Recovery gel and start using that asap to help prevent scarring. Best of luck to you.

I appreciate the info. I am concerned about scaring so I will get that gel you recommended.

Oh my Gosh! It looks like your dark spots took all the energy and maybe they got burnt? So sorry to see this because Moxi should not remove skin. I hope it got better. How has it healed?
