Sciton MOXI is a gentle, fractionated laser for patients who want radiant, younger-looking skin without taking time off for recovery. This treatment works especially well for those who are noticing the initial signs of skin aging, such as uneven skin tone or rough texture.
Whether you’re managing long-term skin concerns like discolored scars, sun damage, or pigmentation issues, or just want to keep your skin looking clear and smooth and prevent fine lines from forming, MOXI offers real results with minimal hassle. It’s also a great option for people with busy schedules who still want to invest in their skin health.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
MOXI can effectively treat a wide range of skin conditions, especially those related to sun exposure, pigmentation, and early signs of aging.
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:
MOXI treatments are straightforward and don’t require much downtime, making them an easy addition to your skincare routine.
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.
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:
With consistency, you’ll notice refreshed-looking skin, fewer spots, and better texture, with no need to press pause on your daily life.
