At Plastic Surgery Associates of South Dakota, we’re excited to offer Sciton Moxi, a gentle yet effective laser treatment designed to improve skin tone and texture with minimal downtime. Whether you’re looking to address sun damage, fine lines, or uneven pigmentation, Moxi is a versatile option that suits a variety of skin types and concerns. In this post, we’ll guide you through what to expect after your Moxi treatment and how to make the most of your recovery.
Post-Treatment Experience
Immediately after your Moxi session, you may experience mild redness and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal response as the laser stimulates your skin’s natural rejuvenation process. Over the next few days, your skin will feel slightly rough or “sandy” as the treatment works to exfoliate and reveal fresh, new skin underneath. Don’t worry—this texture usually fades within three to five days, leaving you with a radiant glow.
Downtime & Recovery
One of the best things about Moxi is its minimal downtime. While your skin may appear red for the first 24 to 48 hours, it’s typically easy to cover with makeup or simply enjoy a fresh-faced, post-treatment glow. You can resume your normal activities almost immediately, though we recommend staying out of the sun and wearing SPF to protect your skin as it heals. Most patients notice results within a week, with improvements continuing over time as collagen production increases.
Post-Care for Optimal Results
To maximize your results and ensure a smooth recovery, we offer a specialized post-care kit featuring products from Revision Skincare. The Gentle Cleansing Lotion will soothe and hydrate, while DEJ Face helps repair and firm your skin. Finish with Intellishade TruPhysical, a broad-spectrum SPF that protects your skin without irritating it. These products work together to calm inflammation, boost hydration, and defend against future damage, making them the perfect companions to your Moxi treatment.
Sciton Moxi is a fantastic treatment to refresh and renew your skin, especially as we head into the cooler months of fall. With a comfortable post-treatment experience and minimal downtime, it’s an easy way to keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant year-round.
