The concept of “prejuvenation” has transformed how we approach skin health, shifting from reactive correction to proactive preservation. At Q the Medical Spa, MOXI® laser skin rejuvenation has become a cornerstone of this philosophy, offering our patients a gentle path to maintaining radiant skin throughout every stage of life.
Under the expert supervision of Dr. Vito Quatela, our experienced aesthetic nurses guide patients through this transformative treatment, creating personalized approaches that honor your skin’s uniqueness while protecting its future vibrancy.
Understanding MOXI: Prevention Meets Rejuvenation
MOXI represents a thoughtful evolution in laser technology. It is a non-ablative fractional laser designed specifically for those who want to maintain their skin’s natural beauty rather than dramatically alter it. Unlike more aggressive treatments that require extended recovery, MOXI works beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate natural healing and renewal.
The treatment delivers precise laser energy that encourages your body’s own collagen production, addressing early signs of aging, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation while strengthening your skin’s resilience for years to come. This gentle approach means you can maintain your regular activities while your skin undergoes its transformation.
The Beauty of MOXI: What It Addresses
MOXI excels at refining and perfecting skin quality across multiple concerns:
- Dark spots, Uneven Tone: Your complexion’s clarity improves as the treatment breaks up clusters of pigmentation, including those sun spots, age spots, and areas of uneven tone that can make skin appear older than it is. The freckles and dark patches that have gradually accumulated over years of sun exposure fade naturally as your skin renews itself.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Rough Skin: Texture transforms as MOXI stimulates fresh collagen production. Rough patches smooth, enlarged pores appear refined, and the overall surface of your skin becomes more even and supple. Fine lines soften while your skin maintains its natural character and expressiveness.
Perhaps most remarkably, MOXI can be performed on your face, neck, chest, arms, and hands—anywhere you want to restore that natural radiance and resilience that defines youthful, healthy skin.
Who Benefits from MOXI?
One of MOXI’s greatest advantages is its versatility. The treatment safely benefits all skin types and tones, making it accessible to our entire patient community regardless of complexion.
For younger patients beginning their skincare journey, MOXI offers true prevention by addressing minor concerns before they become pronounced, while establishing a foundation of healthy skin that will serve you for decades. This proactive approach helps delay visible aging, maintaining the clarity and vitality you currently enjoy.
For established patients with visible sun damage or texture concerns, MOXI provides effective correction without the extended downtime of more aggressive treatments. It’s particularly valuable as maintenance between comprehensive procedures, helping you sustain your results and continue improving your skin’s overall quality.
For busy professionals, MOXI fits seamlessly into your life. The treatment itself takes just minutes, and most patients return to their normal activities within a day or two, making it ideal for those who want meaningful results without disrupting their schedule.
Your MOXI Experience at Q the Medical Spa
We’ve designed every aspect of your MOXI treatment to support both your comfort and your results. When you arrive at our Lindsay House or Victor location, you’ll be welcomed into one of our private, elegantly appointed treatment rooms where we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
The treatment itself takes just 15-20 minutes. As the MOXI handpiece glides across your skin, you’ll feel gentle warmth, which is sometimes described as a warm, prickly sensation. We use cooling air throughout the procedure to enhance your comfort, and most patients find the experience quite tolerable.
Immediately after treatment, your skin will appear flushed and feel warm, similar to how it feels after spending time in the sun. This is your skin’s natural healing response as it begins its work. We will then apply soothing products and provide comprehensive aftercare guidance before you leave.
Plan for approximately 90 minutes for your complete visit, allowing time for numbing, treatment, and post-care consultation.
The Journey of Healing: What to Expect
Understanding your skin’s transformation helps you embrace each stage of the process with confidence.
The First Day
Your skin will feel warm and appear red, much like a mild sunburn. Some patients experience slight swelling, particularly around the eyes. This is temporary and typically subsides within hours. Keep your skin moisturized and sleep with your head slightly elevated to minimize any swelling.
Days Two Through Five
Tiny dark spots called MENDs appear where the laser worked its magic. These are damaged cells making their way to the surface as fresh, healthy skin develops beneath. Your skin may feel dry or rough during these days. Continue gentle cleansing and keep your skin well-moisturized, resisting any urge to pick or scrub.
The Reveal
Within five to seven days, the dry texture naturally flakes away, revealing renewed skin underneath. A beautiful, rosy glow remains briefly before settling into your natural complexion, clearer, smoother, and more luminous than before.
Continued Transformation
Your results continue improving for three months as collagen production increases beneath the surface. Fine lines soften, pores appear refined, and your overall skin quality becomes noticeably enhanced.
Caring for Your Renewed Skin
Your aftercare plays a crucial role in achieving optimal results. For the first 24 hours, avoid makeup and use only the gentle products we recommend. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and minimize sun exposure during healing. Skip intense exercise for the first day, and avoid retinol or other active ingredients for one week.
Think of this week as an investment in the long-term health of your skin. The temporary adjustments to your routine will yield lasting improvements in your complexion’s health and appearance.
Designing Your Treatment Plan
During your consultation, we use advanced diagnostic tools like the VISIA® Complexion Analysis to thoroughly assess your skin and understand your concerns. This allows us to create a truly personalized treatment plan designed around your unique needs.
Most patients achieve exceptional results with three to four treatments spaced four to five weeks apart. This series allows your skin to heal completely between sessions while building progressive improvement. After completing your initial series, annual or bi-annual maintenance treatments help sustain your results and continue protecting against future concerns.
Many of our patients combine MOXI with BBL® (BroadBand Light therapy) for comprehensive rejuvenation that addresses both surface pigmentation and deeper texture concerns. Your provider will recommend the approach that best serves your aesthetic goals.
How does MOXI differ from BBL?
BBL addresses surface concerns like pigmentation and redness, while MOXI works beneath the surface to improve texture and stimulate collagen. They complement each other beautifully and are often combined for comprehensive results.
Understanding Your Investment
Your investment in MOXI varies based on treatment areas, the number of sessions recommended, and whether you combine it with complementary treatments. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation, and many patients find exceptional value through our QVIP membership program, which offers exclusive savings on qualifying treatments, including MOXI.
This membership reflects our commitment to long-term relationships with our patients by supporting your skin health journey over time rather than viewing treatments as isolated events.
