What is
MOXI™ Laser Treatment
“As a first-time client, my experience exceeded my expectations. I was nervous about the process, but Carol did an amazing job listening my concerns and wishes.”
MOXI™ is a cutting-edge laser treatment that corrects photodamage, reduces hyperpigmentation, minimizes pores, and treats melasma. Its advanced fractional laser technology is safe for all skin types, delivering a smoother, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime. MOXI™ is a great way to revitalize your skin’s appearance by correcting uneven pigmentation and improving tone and texture.
MOXI™ is
safe All Year Round
MOXI™ delivers gentle, non-ablative laser energy to revitalize your skin by correcting early signs of sun damage and aging—safely, effectively, and year-round for all skin types. This quick, “lunchtime” procedure fits seamlessly into your active lifestyle, with little to no downtime. People of all skin types can refresh and maintain a youthful glow any time of year.
The key difference between the BBL HEROic treatment and the MOXI™ is that BBL HEROic targets pigment and MOXI™ targets water in your tissue. So it’s important to be hydrated prior to your MOXI™ treatment to get the best results.

How does
MOXI™ work?
MOXI™ delivers fractionated laser energy to the skin, creating thousands of micro-coagulation zones. Your body naturally repairs these zones, replacing damaged skin cells with fresh, new tissue. This process enhances skin tone, texture, and overall radiance while keeping downtime low.
MOXI™ is designed to be a gentle, yet effective treatment—perfect for those who want noticeable skin improvement without the intensity of more aggressive laser procedures.
MOXI™ Treats Rosacea
MOXI™ is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its gentle, fractionated technology makes it safer than more aggressive lasers for conditions like rosacea or reactive skin. However, if you have active rosacea flare-ups or extreme sensitivity, it’s important to discuss with your skincare provider.
MOXI™ Treats Acne & Acne Scars
MOXI™ Laser Treatment is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its gentle, fractionated technology makes it safer than more aggressive lasers for conditions like rosacea or reactive skin. However, if you have active rosacea flare-ups or extreme sensitivity, it’s important to discuss with your skincare provider.
If you are acne-prone, we recommend starting with the BBL® Forever Clear protocol. Your provider may also recommend combining this treatment with a microneedling treatment for even better results.
When will you see your MOXI™ results?
Results vary based on your treatment level and skin goals:
- Immediately after treatment: Your skin may appear red, similar to a mild sunburn.
- Within the first 24-48 hours: You may notice tiny micro-dots (“mendz”) where the laser was applied. These areas will darken and feel rough as your skin heals.
- Days 3-5: The mendz will naturally slough off, revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin beneath.
Many patients notice a brighter, smoother complexion after just one session, with continued improvement over time.
How does
MOXI™ compare to BBL Heroic?
MOXI™ Laser Treatment is a gentler, non-ablative laser treatment that requires minimal downtime, making it perfect for preventative skincare and maintenance.
- BBL® HEROic™ targets redness, pigmentation, and vascular concerns using intense pulsed light (IPL Treatment), making it great for rosacea and sun damage.
- Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, providing more dramatic resurfacing with longer recovery time.
MOXI™ Laser Treatment is a great standalone treatment but can also be combined with BBL® HEROic™ or Halo for enhanced results.
Skincare treatments
to compliment your MOXI™
MOXI™ Laser Treatment pairs well with other professional treatments to enhance overall skin health and achieve better results, including:
- BBL® HEROic™ (BroadBand Light): Combines light therapy to target redness, brown spots, and pigmentation.
- Hydrafacial®: Provides deep cleansing and hydration before or after MOXI™ Laser Treatment.
- Microneedling: Boosts collagen and enhances skin texture.
- Medical-grade skincare: Using products with growth factors, retinol, and antioxidants can prolong MOXI™’s benefits.
Your provider can customize a treatment plan based on your skincare goals.
How does
MOXI™ Treatment cost?
The cost of your MOXI™ treatment at Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa starts at $750 and up per session, with the final price depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, and whether it is combined with other treatments like BBL Heroic™ or additional services. We offer discounted rates for treatment packages, especially when paired with complementary treatments for enhanced results.
