This blog post will delve into the mechanism of action of the MOXI laser, explain how it rejuvenates your skin, and provide an in-depth look at its benefits and effects on various skin types.
What is MOXI Laser?
The MOXI laser by Sciton is a non-ablative fractional laser designed to provide a gentle yet effective treatment for skin rejuvenation. It targets a variety of skin concerns, including sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. MOXI is suitable for all skin types and can be used year-round, making it a versatile option for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance.
Technical Details of MOXI Laser
1. Type of Laser
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser, meaning it delivers laser energy to the skin in a fractionated manner, creating microscopic treatment zones while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This technology promotes faster healing and reduces downtime compared to ablative lasers.
2. Wavelength
The MOXI laser operates at a wavelength of 1927 nm, which is specifically chosen for its ability to target water molecules within the skin. This wavelength allows the laser to penetrate the skin and deliver controlled thermal damage, stimulating the skin’s natural healing process.
How Does MOXI Laser Work?
1. Targeting Water in the Skin
The laser energy from MOXI specifically targets water molecules in the skin. As the laser penetrates the skin, it heats the water within the skin cells, causing controlled thermal damage. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen production and cellular turnover.
2. Collagen Stimulation
Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. Over time, factors like aging, sun exposure, and environmental stressors can deplete collagen levels, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. The thermal damage caused by the MOXI laser prompts the skin to produce new collagen, which helps to firm and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving overall skin texture.
3. Improving Skin Tone and Texture
By promoting cell turnover and collagen production, the MOXI laser effectively treats pigmentation issues, such as sunspots, melasma, and uneven skin tone. The laser energy breaks down excess pigment in the skin, which is then naturally eliminated by the body. This results in a more even and radiant complexion.
In-Depth Effects of MOXI Laser on the Skin
1. Epidermal Renewal
The MOXI laser’s action on the epidermis leads to the shedding of damaged and dead skin cells, revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath. This renewal process helps reduce surface-level pigmentation and improves skin clarity.
2. Dermal Remodeling
The laser energy penetrates deeper into the dermal layer, stimulating fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. This remodeling of the dermal structure helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness, addressing deeper wrinkles and skin laxity.
3. Reduction of Pore Size
By promoting collagen production and enhancing skin structure, MOXI treatments can also reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. This results in smoother and more refined skin texture.
Benefits of MOXI Laser Treatment
- Minimal Downtime: The non-ablative nature of the MOXI laser means that recovery time is minimal. Most patients experience only mild redness and can return to their daily activities almost immediately.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: MOXI is safe and effective for all skin types, making it an inclusive treatment option for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance.
- Year-Round Treatment: Unlike some laser treatments that are best avoided during the summer, MOXI can be performed any time of the year, offering flexibility for your skincare routine.
- Versatility: MOXI can address a wide range of skin concerns, including sun damage, fine lines, pigmentation, and uneven texture.
What to Expect During a MOXI Laser Treatment
A typical MOXI laser session lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: Your skincare professional will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine if MOXI is the right treatment for you.
- Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Treatment: The MOXI laser will be passed over the treatment area, delivering controlled laser energy to the skin.
- Post-Treatment Care: You may experience some redness and mild swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions, including using a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

The MOXI laser by Sciton is a cutting-edge treatment that offers a gentle yet effective solution for skin rejuvenation.
