At House of Aesthetics, we want your Moxi laser experience to be comfortable and effective. Here’s what you can expect:
Before Treatment:
- Consultation: We’ll discuss your skin goals, assess your skin, and ensure Moxi is the right treatment for you.
- Skin Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to maximize your comfort.
During Treatment:
- Sensation: You’ll feel a series of warm, quick snaps on your skin as the laser passes over your treatment area.
- Duration: The treatment itself takes around 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
Immediately After Treatment:
- Redness and Warmth: Your skin will likely be slightly red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn sensation.
- Cooling: We’ll apply cooling compresses or soothing skincare to minimize any discomfort.
Days Following Treatment:
- Days 1-3:
- Dry, sandpapery texture: Your skin may feel rough due to the formation of tiny microdots (MENDs) where the laser energy was applied.
- Flaking: These microdots will begin to naturally flake off, revealing fresher skin underneath.
- Days 3-5
- Continued improvement: Redness subsides, and your skin tone and texture will continue to improve.
Social Downtime: Most people feel comfortable returning to work or social activities within 1-2 days post-treatment, with minor redness easily concealed by makeup, if desired.
