MOXI® Laser in Marylebone
Fractional Laser Treatment for Uneven Tone and Texture
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser developed by Sciton, used to improve early sun damage, uneven pigmentation and changes in skin texture.
It offers a less intensive approach to laser resurfacing, making it an option for patients who want to address early skin changes without the recovery associated with more aggressive procedures.

How Does MOXI® Work?
How Does MOXI® Work?
MOXI® uses a 1927 nm fractional laser wavelength to deliver controlled thermal energy into the skin.
The laser creates microscopic treatment zones while leaving much of the surrounding tissue unaffected. This supports skin renewal as the treated areas recover.
Because MOXI® is non-ablative, it doesn't remove the entire surface layer of the skin.
Treatment intensity can be adjusted according to your concerns, skin type and the recovery period you're comfortable with.
What Happens During Treatment?
Your skin will be cleansed and prepared. Topical numbing cream may be applied depending on the planned treatment.
You'll wear protective eyewear while the laser handpiece is passed across the skin.
During treatment, you may feel warmth or prickling. Afterwards, the skin will usually appear red and feel warm or tight.
Recovery and Results
Over the following days, the skin may develop a dry, sandpaper-like texture as treated surface cells shed.
This is a normal part of recovery, and it's important not to scrub or exfoliate the skin to remove the roughness.
Temporary redness and mild swelling can also occur. The length of recovery depends on the treatment settings and your skin's response.
Many patients begin to notice improvements within one to three weeks. For more established concerns, several treatments may be recommended.
You'll receive guidance on when to restart active skincare, as well as sun protection and other aftercare.
