Experience the preventive and restorative approach to healthy skin with MOXI™ laser treatments
MOXI™ uses micro-pulses of fractionated laser energy, and this little to no downtime procedure is ideal for all skin types to correct signs of sun damage and early aging. MOXI™ creates small micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production and jump-start your skin’s natural healing process to produce new and healthy skin cells. These controlled micro-injuries heal and form MENDS (Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris), which shed damaged skin cells, making way for new, brighter, and healthier skin. Pigment, vascularity, texture, and pore size can be safely targeted during any season of the year. Your MOXI™ treatment will give you a fresh, radiant glow without social downtime that brightens, tightens, shrinks pores, decreases fine lines and wrinkles, improves texture and tone, and increases collagen and elastin. The perfect treatment to keep you looking years younger for years to come.

Hello, my name is Marie Carr and I’m a master esthetician here at Sarah Hamilton Face. Today I’ll be talking about the diamond moxie, which is a treatment where we incorporate BBL our broadband light with our non-ablative fractionated laser treatment. Moxie. Our patients have been loving this treatment with minimal to no downtime, can even pop in for a lunchtime treatment and leave with sunscreen on protected and ready for your day. We usually like patients to do around three to four treatments depending on your end goals. It’s even a wonderful pre rejuvenation treatment for patients that just are on the younger side, have never done lasers and want to dip their toe in the water of lasers. A diamond moxie treatment can decrease the appearance of your pores, can help uneven pigmentation and tone and texture of your skin, and just leave you feeling glowy and dewy and rejuvenated. You can do either of the treatments BBL broadband, light, or moxie as a standalone, but when you combine them in the diamond procedure, you’re getting the benefits of the light, which epigenetically helps your cells produce younger genes and express younger, as well as the topical application of the Moxie, which is going to help the uneven pigmentation and skin tone and texture. Both men and women have been loving this treatment. Give us a call to schedule your consultation today.

FAQ’s:
What is MOXI™?
MOXI™ is specifically designed as a prejuvenation laser treatment to correct signs of sun damage and the appearance of aging skin with little to no social downtime. This anti-aging corrective laser is a gentle approach to radiant and revitalized skin. By using micro-pulses of advanced fractionated laser energy, pigment, vascularity, texture, and pore size can be safely targeted during any season of the year on all skin types.
How does MOXI™ laser work?
MOXI™ uses gentle fractionated laser energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This leads to the exfoliation of damaged skin cells and the production of new, healthy skin cells and collagen. The controlled injuries will naturally start to heal and form MENDS on the skin, which will naturally slough off, revealing a more youthful and radiant complexion.
What are MENDS?
MENDS stands for Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris, a term used to describe the small, dark spots or scabs that can appear on the skin with a sandpaper-like feel following a MOXI™ laser treatment. MENDS are the result of the MOXI™ laser creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which leads to the exfoliation of damaged skin cells and debris. This is part of the natural healing process of skin renewal.
It’s important to avoid picking at or scratching the MENDS, as this can lead to irritation or potential scarring. MENDS slough off on their own 3-7 days after your treatment. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your laser provider at Sarah Hamilton FACE.
What conditions does it treat?
MOXI™ is a versatile, non-invasive treatment designed to address a variety of skin concerns, such as sun damage and hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin, and acne scarring.
Can I combine MOXI™ with other treatments?
Yes, we always recommend adding a BBL HERO treatment to your MOXI™ for our Diamond MOXI laser treatment. Combining the BBL HERO + MOXI™ advanced modalities allows us to target various skin concerns in one treatment, elevating your results.
Is there any downtime with MOXI™?
There are about 5-7 days of downtime with MOXI™. However, most patients resume normal activities immediately after their treatment. You may experience slight swelling, redness, and the formation of MENDS, which will slough off on their own 3-7 days after your treatment.
Is MOXI™ safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, MOXI™ works beautifully on darker skin tones and is appropriate for all skin types. If you have specific questions or concerns based on your skin type and tone, your MOXI™ provider at Sarah Hamilton FACE will be able to assess and customize your treatment to give you the safest and most effective results.
What is the aftercare I will need after a MOXI™ laser treatment?
After your treatment, you can use BRIOTECH Topical Skin Spray on the treated area. It is important to avoid scratching/picking off MENDS, as doing so may cause scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and infection. Avoid hot showers or exercise for 48 hours, use gentle products for two weeks and avoid using retinol, wear sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for four weeks post-treatment, and no makeup for 24 hours.
How many treatments of MOXI™ will I need?
The number of MOXI™ treatments can vary based on your individual custom treatment plan suggested by your laser provider at Sarah Hamilton FACE. However, patients see noticeable results after just one treatment. We recommend a series of 3-4 treatments for full correction. Maintenance treatments are recommended, usually 1-2 times a year.
