Post-Treatment Care
In the days following your Moxi treatment, continue caring for your skin to promote optimal healing and results:
What to get excited about!
Immediately after a Moxi treatment, your skin will feel rough and have a sandpaper-like texture. This is desired and an essential part of the transformation! Over the next 5-7 days, your skin will gradually heal, revealing a smooth and blemish-free texture that lasts!
One of the standout benefits of undergoing a Moxi laser treatment is the noticeable improvement in your complexion's brightness. As the laser sheds dull, damaged skin cells, you'll be left with a radiant, youthful glow. Your skin will also appear brighter as pigmentation and sunspots have been removed!
We joke at the office, but mean it wholeheartedly, in that, "You will never feel prettier than after a Moxi." The glow is from fresh, hydrated, even skin that just reflects light like no other! It's kind of hard to explain; you just need to experience it for yourself!
Avoid active ingredients like retinol and exfoliants for at least one week. You can slowly reintroduce them as your skin fully heals.
When can I resume my regular skincare routine?
You can begin applying makeup 24 hours post-treatment, as long as there are no signs of irritation.
can I wear makeup the day after my Moxi treatment?
You may begin to see improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days, with full results developing over the next few weeks.
When will I start seeing results from my Moxi treatment?
Yes, redness is common and should subside within a day or two. Applying a cool compress can help minimize redness, but it really is a part of the journey. We call it the sun-kissed look!
Is it normal to experience redness after Moxi?
