How does non-ablative laser skin resurfacing work?
Non-ablative laser skin resurfacing delivers controlled beams of laser energy into the deeper layers of the skin without removing the outer layer. This fractional technology creates microscopic treatment zones, stimulating collagen production and triggering the skin’s natural healing response. As collagen rebuilds, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful in appearance. The untreated areas promote rapid healing, resulting in no downtime.

Why do you use MOXI for laser skin resurfacing?
We choose MOXI for laser skin resurfacing due to its utilization of the gentle yet powerful 1927nm fractionated laser. This advanced technology makes it perfect for prejuvenation, catering to patients who wish to proactively delay the signs of aging or maintain their already beautiful skin. MOXI offers remarkable results with minimal downtime.

What type of skin resurfacing does MOXI offer?
MOXI offers non-ablative skin resurfacing. Unlike ablative laser resurfacing, which removes the outer layers of skin, non-ablative treatments target deeper layers while leaving the surface intact. Delivering fractional laser energy into the skin stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture without significant downtime. This non-invasive method offers a safer and gentler alternative, minimizing risks and allowing for quicker recovery.
