MOXI
PREVENTATIVE TREATMENTS FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA
There are many treatments available for correcting signs of aging, but an even more effective approach can be addressing those signs before they develop in the first place. Moxi at Philadelphia’s Cross Medical Group is a gentle, fractionated, non-ablative laser that is commonly used for “prejuvenation”—also known as the prevention of wrinkles, sun damage, and other skin changes associated with the passage of time.

WHAT IS MOXI?
Moxi is a “beginner-level” preventative laser treatment that uses a 1927 nanometer frequency for skin revitalization. The laser creates thousands of micro-channels, each one stimulating renewed production of collagen and elastin to “heal” the tiny injuries. Moxi has three different levels and can be customized based on whether a patient wants to target more superficial skin concerns or changes that have occurred deeper in the skin.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR MOXI?
This laser is suitable for all skin types and skin tones, all year round. It is an especially popular choice for younger patients who want to prevent or delay signs of aging in the skin, and also appeals to patients who want to upgrade their skincare routine and maintain flawless skin throughout the year, as well as those with melasma. Patients who are seeking a less invasive laser treatment that involves less downtime and discomfort than other lasers may also benefit from this laser treatment.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MOXI?
Moxi dramatically improves the tone, texture, and pigmentation of the skin by correcting common irregularities, including poor texture, uneven complexion, and signs of sun damage. The skin will become brighter, more youthful, and more refreshed with less of an uneven look. It can also lighten a type of skin-darkening condition called melasma, which is associated with hormonal changes—especially during pregnancy.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AND AFTER A MOXI SESSION IN PHILADELPHIA AND VILLANOVA?
A topical or local anesthetic will be applied to the face prior to the start of the treatment. The laser session itself usually takes between 12 and 15 minutes to complete.
Moxi is less intense and does not require as much downtime as many other types of laser procedures. There are only one to three days of recovery needed after, and patients can resume wearing makeup 24 hours after their treatment. The full results of the laser should be visible within five to seven days, depending on the depth of the treatment.
The number of laser treatments needed will vary depending on each patient’s individual goals and how much correction is required. The majority of patients have three to four Moxi corrective treatments spaced four to five weeks apart followed by regular maintenance treatments scheduled seasonally.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER TREATMENTS TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE SKIN?
Moxi can often be combined with other skin rejuvenation procedures for faster and more optimized results. Cross Medical Group offers many more laser and light treatments, such as BBL IPL and photorejuvenation, and laser skin resurfacing. Other popular options for improving the tone and texture of the skin include microneedling, chemical peels, and dermaplaning.
