At CULT Aesthetics, we know how important it is to keep your skin looking its best all year round, and that’s why we want to share some essential considerations for getting Moxi laser treatments during the summer. Moxi laser treatments are a fantastic way to rejuvenate your skin, and they are suitable for all skin types. Let’s dive into what you need to know about this treatment and how to ensure you get the best results, even in the summer heat.
What is Moxi Laser Treatment?
Moxi is a non-ablative laser treatment that targets and repairs skin damage without significant downtime. It is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. This treatment is ideal for addressing early signs of aging, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. Moxi laser treatments are gentle enough for all skin types, making them an excellent option for anyone looking to enhance their summer skincare routine.
Benefits of Moxi Laser Treatments
- Minimal Downtime: One of the standout benefits of Moxi is its minimal downtime. You can return to your regular activities shortly after the treatment.
- Versatile: Suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones.
- Effective for Multiple Concerns: Addresses issues like uneven pigmentation, sun damage, and early signs of aging.
- Quick Treatment: Sessions typically last around 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Considerations for Summer Treatments
1. Sun Exposure
After a Moxi laser treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays. It’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible for at least a week post-treatment. If you need to be outside, wear a broad-brimmed hat and apply a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin. We prefer zinc based sunscreens for optimal protection with out the white cast. Our CULT favorite is the ISDIN Eryfotono Actinica.Â
A wide-brimmed visor like the BlueStone SunSheild is our go to for preventing damage from the summer sun and heat.Â
2. Sunscreen is Essential
Daily use of sunscreen is non-negotiable after a Moxi treatment, especially in the summer. Opt for a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and make sure it offers broad-spectrum protection. Reapply every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.
3. Hydrate and Moisturize
Aftercare for MOXI should be simple, your skin needs to heal. Avoid exfoliating or using harsh skincare products that can irritate your skin further. Stick to gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers. If you have any specific post-treatment products recommended by your provider such as tyrosinase inhibitors to prevent dark spots, be sure to use them as directed.
If you are prone to breaking out after skin treatments we are obsessed with this gentle BPO cleanser that will reduce inflammation and kill acne causing bacteria without disrupting your skin barrier. It is generally fine to use 24 hours post treatment but be sure to check with your provider.
Reference: According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, it’s crucial to follow your dermatologist’s post-care instructions to aid healing and avoid complications.
4. Avoid Overheating
Try to avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or overheating for a few days after your treatment. This includes vigorous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs, which can irritate your treated skin. Spritz and ice rollers are a great way to keep your skin cool in the heat.
Why Moxi is Great for All Skin Types
Moxi laser treatments are designed to be gentle yet effective, making them suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. Whether you have fair skin that burns easily or darker skin prone to hyperpigmentation, Moxi can be tailored to your specific needs. The treatment works by delivering fractionated laser energy to the skin, promoting collagen production and cell turnover without causing extensive damage or requiring long recovery periods.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
- Follow Aftercare Instructions: Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional to ensure optimal results and minimize side effects.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Use gentle, hydrating cleansers and avoid exfoliating products or harsh skincare treatments for at least a week after your Moxi session.
- Monitor Your Skin: Keep an eye on your skin’s response to the treatment and contact your clinic if you notice any unusual reactions or prolonged irritation.
