Our clinic offers advanced treatments to address this concern, helping you achieve a more even skin tone and glowing complexion. The treatment minimizes pigmentation with minimal downtime, ensuring radiant and natural-looking results.
MOXI® Laser Treatment
30-60 minutes (varies by individual needs)
Minimal downtime
At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we use the latest laser technology with the MOXI® laser treatment to combat melasma. This innovative treatment delivers non-ablative laser energy to the skin, targeting pigment and stimulating cell turnover without damaging surrounding tissue. It is a gentler yet more effective solution for treating melasma and is suitable for a broad range of skin types.
MOXI® Laser: MOXI® is a low-level fractional laser that rejuvenates the skin by targeting pigmented areas while leaving the surrounding skin intact. This treatment is ideal for patients looking for preventive skincare or those seeking to reduce the appearance of melasma.
During your first visit, we will evaluate your skin condition and create a treatment plan based on your skin type and melasma severity. Be sure to avoid direct sun exposure or certain skincare products for a few days before treatment to ensure the best results.
The MOXI® laser treatment is typically quick and comfortable, lasting between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Most clients describe the feeling as a mild tingling or warmth.
Following the procedure, you may experience some slight redness similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Keep away from direct sunlight, and use high-SPF sunscreen to be sure that your skin is protected during the healing process.
A series of 3 to 4 appointments scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart is generally advisable. We suggest regular maintenance treatments and a comprehensive skincare regimen to maximize the results of your treatment.
Results from MOXI® treatments are gradual, with noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture developing over the following weeks. Continuous skin rejuvenation and collagen production contribute to long-lasting results. With proper sun protection and skincare, you can enjoy a brighter, more even complexion.
MOXI® uses a fractional laser that gently heats the skin to promote collagen formation and even out skin tone. It is particularly effective for treating melasma, as it reduces pigmentation without causing excessive damage to the skin.
MOXI® treatments are well-tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as a mild warmth. A numbing agent can be used for added comfort if needed.
While some initial improvement may be visible after the first treatment, most clients notice significant changes after a series of 3 to 4 visits, with ongoing improvement as the skin heals and regenerates.
MOXI® and other treatments primarily address existing melasma, but combining treatments with good skincare habits, like wearing sunscreen, can help prevent future pigmentation from forming.
Side effects are usually minor, including temporary redness or slight swelling, which resolve within a few days. The treatment is designed to be safe for various skin types with minimal risk of complications.
While melasma treatments like MOXI® can significantly reduce pigmentation, melasma can reoccur, especially with prolonged sun exposure or hormonal changes. To maintain results and prevent recurrence, it’s important to follow a good skincare regimen, use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and schedule maintenance treatments as recommended by your provider.
