Sciton MOXI at Aesthetic Surgery of Charlotte

At Aesthetic Surgery of Charlotte, we offer the Sciton MOXI laser as part of our focus on high-end, results-driven medical aesthetics. Dr. Adam C. Augenstein, a double board-certified surgeon, personally oversees each MOXI treatment, ensuring every plan is built around the patient’s goals and skin type.

Our Charlotte office is equipped with the latest in advanced laser technologies, including Sciton MOXI, BBL Hero, and other customizable tools. Every personalized treatment plan is designed to meet the unique needs of your skin, whether you're addressing superficial sun damage, age spots, or general skin rejuvenation.

What is Sciton MOXI?

The Sciton MOXI laser is a gentle, fractionated laser designed to work in the superficial layers of the skin. It uses non-ablative laser energy at a 1927 nm wavelength, making it ideal for skin rejuvenation without damaging the surface of the skin. MOXI heats water within the skin cells, jumpstarting the body's natural healing process and triggering collagen production, which is essential for smoother skin texture, better skin tone, and overall improved skin firmness.

MOXI is often combined with Broadband Light (BBL) therapy for enhanced results. This combination, sometimes referred to as "MOXI and BBL," is great for patients who want to target visible signs of aging more aggressively while still keeping downtime low. It uses both non-ablative laser and visible light to target different layers of the skin for a complete refresh.

Sciton MOXI Benefits

Whether you’re looking to treat sun spots, improve skin laxity, or simply maintain clear skin, MOXI can help you feel more confident in your skin.

  • Minimal Downtime – Most patients experience only mild pigmentary changes and skin shedding for a week or less.
  • Safe for All Skin Types – MOXI is safe across a broad range of skin types, from very light to deep complexions.
  • Great for Early Skin Aging – Helps with uneven skin tone and other visible signs of aging, especially if you’re just starting to notice changes. Early use can even help with preventing fine lines and wrinkles before they start.
  • Improves Texture and Tone – Excellent for improving skin texture and promoting an evenly toned, refreshed-looking skin.
  • Non-Surgical and Non-Invasive – Because it's a non-ablative laser, MOXI works without damaging the surface, so there's no need for wound care or downtime.
  • Pairs With BBL for Enhanced Outcomes – When paired with BBL Hero, MOXI treats both superficial layers and deeper structures for more comprehensive results.
  • Supports Long-Term Skin Health – MOXI stimulates skin rejuvenation through ongoing collagen production, helping you maintain beautiful skin year-round.
  • Tunable Treatment Intensity – The MOXI system includes MOXI’s hand speed indicator and tunable energy levels to ensure optimal treatment efficiency based on your unique needs and goals.

What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated With Sciton MOXI?

MOXI can be used across almost any treatment area where you want smoother, healthier skin. It’s gentle enough for sensitive spots but effective enough to show visible improvements.

  • Face – Addresses sun damage and uneven texture.
  • Neck and Chest – Targets skin laxity, age spots, and sun damage in these delicate areas.
  • Hands – Reduces signs of aging like sun spots and rough or uneven texture.
  • Arms and Legs – Smooths out uneven texture and improves tone in areas commonly affected by sun exposure.
  • Back and Shoulders – Helpful for fading discoloration in old scars and brightening dull skin.

Sciton MOXI Candidates

MOXI is great for anyone looking to stay ahead of aging or treat long-standing skin concerns. If you're looking for a safe, effective way to refresh your skin without the risk of aggressive treatments, this could be a perfect fit.

You're likely a candidate if you:

  • Have aging skin with visible signs of aging like dullness or uneven texture
  • Struggle with pigmentation issues, age spots, or sun damage
  • Want to address skin laxity or improve skin firmness
  • Have leftover scars or post-inflammatory discoloration
  • Need a maintenance solution following more aggressive treatments
  • Are beginning your skincare journey and want a gentle entry point
  • Want a solution that works across a broad range of skin types

MOXI is also safe for those with active acne, although Dr. Augenstein may recommend pairing it with other therapies for best results as Moxi doesn’t directly treat or get rid of acne scars. Certain skin conditions, like infections or open wounds, may temporarily delay your treatment.

What Issues Can Sciton MOXI Address?

MOXI can effectively treat a wide range of skin conditions, especially those related to sun exposure, pigmentation, and early signs of aging.

  • Superficial Sun Damage – Fades sun spots and prevents long-term skin deterioration.
  • Uneven Skin Tone – Promotes new cell turnover and helps produce evenly toned skin.
  • Skin Texture and Roughness – Refines uneven texture and improves overall skin feel.
  • Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris (MENDs) – Helps the body naturally shed damaged tissue and renew the skin’s surface.
  • Skin Laxity – Boosts collagen production to support firmer, smoother skin.
  • Pigmentation Issues – Helps fade freckles, dark patches, and age spots.
  • Early Wrinkles and Signs of Sun Aging – Keeps skin aging at bay by encouraging healthy cell turnover.

Preparing for Sciton MOXI Treatment

Before your appointment, Dr. Augenstein will walk you through your custom plan and explain what to expect. He’ll look at your skin tone, concerns, and goals to create a truly personalized treatment plan.

Here’s how to get ready:

  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning for at least 2 weeks.
  • Stop using retinoids or exfoliants 3–5 days before treatment.
  • Let us know about any past cold sores, we may suggest an antiviral.
  • Come in with clean skin, free of makeup or lotion.

MOXI treatments are straightforward and don’t require much downtime, making them an easy addition to your skincare routine.

Your Sciton MOXI Treatment

A typical session takes about 30–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. We’ll apply a topical numbing cream (also known as anesthetic cream) before we begin to keep you comfortable.

The MOXI laser handpiece glides across your skin using visible light energy, creating those controlled micro-coagulation zones that kickstart healing. The process is quick, and most people describe it as warm with a little tingling or prickling sensation.

MOXI’s smart features, including MOXI’s hand speed indicator, ensure your treatment is performed with consistency, safety, and precision.

Sciton MOXI Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

After your MOXI session, you might look a little pink or feel slightly sunburned—that’s totally normal. Most people resume normal activities right away. Over the next few days, you may notice some dryness or a sandy texture as your skin forms microscopic epidermal necrotic debris (or MENDs). These are tiny, naturally shedding bits of damaged skin that flake off to reveal newer, healthier layers underneath.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Downtime – Expect minimal downtime, typically 5-7 days of pigmentary changes and sloughing of the skin.
  • Results – Most people see clearer, brighter skin within 5–7 days after a single treatment, with continued improvement after each session.
  • Aftercare – Use gentle skincare and sunscreen daily. Avoid exfoliants or harsh products until skin feels fully recovered.
  • Maintenance – For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3–4 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart, followed by 1–2 yearly maintenance visits.

With consistency, you’ll notice refreshed-looking skin, fewer spots, and better texture, with no need to press pause on your daily life.
