Tackling Melasma: How the Moxi Laser Treatment Works

The Challenge of Darker Skin + Melanin & Melasma

If you are someone with beautiful, medium to dark skin, and are wondering why you seem to get patches of discoloration and an uneven complexion, while others do not, the answer is in how much melanin your skin has. Melanin, the substance that gives your skin its color, is much more prominent in those with dark skin tones. This makes you more likely to develop melasma, and while medically harmless, the patches can lead to a lack of confidence and low self-esteem. The challenge in treating darker skin tones is that the underlying causes and how melasma progresses are not well understood. This often leads to individuals having their skin treated over and over with little to no success.

Moxi Laser Treatment Is Breaking Boundaries

While other treatment options target the excess melanin and pigment in your skin, the Moxi laser for melasma is unique because it targets the water within your skin’s cells to trigger your body’s natural healing process. This makes Moxi an amazing treatment for patients of all skin types and ages, as it’s non-ablative, is a low-level laser that is gentle and does not heat up the melanin in your skin. This means that there’s no fear of experiencing a post-inflammatory response after your treatment sessions.

What to Expect From a Moxi Laser Treatment?

The duration of a Moxi laser treatment session is relatively short, lasts under 20 minutes with minimal downtime afterward. Depending on your goals, a topical numbing cream may be applied to your skin about 30-minutes prior to the treatment to minimize discomfort. Post-treatment, cold compresses will be applied to soothe and cool the skin.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Generally, it’s recommended to start with an initial round of 3 to 4 Moxi laser treatment sessions, each spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. Following that, maintenance sessions can be scheduled once or twice a year to preserve the results. However, the treatment plan can be personalized to you based on your unique skin needs.

What About Recovery?

Like any other skincare treatment, the Moxi laser does have a recovery phase. After a session with Moxi, you may experience some warmth, similar to mild sunburn, and your skin may appear pink and rough to the touch. But don’t worry, this is only temporary and will disappear after the skin smoothes out in the days following. It will take 3–7 days for the skin to mend, the micro-zones to heal, and the old skin to dissipate, revealing your revitalized skin underneath. Your skin will feel like sandpaper, but good news, no one can tell except you. On the brighter side, you can resume a gentle skincare routine and apply makeup 24 hours after the treatment.

What Are The Long-Term Benefits of Moxi Laser Treatment?

The benefits of the Moxi laser for melasma extend far beyond just treating the hyperpigmentation. It’s an excellent preventative treatment for:
