Moxi Laser in NYC

Gentle Skin Rejuvenation with Powerful Results

Moxi laser is a non-ablative, fractionated laser treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity with little to no downtime. This gentle yet effective procedure is ideal for patients looking to address early signs of aging, pigmentation issues, and uneven skin tone—all while stimulating collagen production for long-term skin health. Whether you're new to laser treatments or looking for a maintenance option between more intensive procedures, Moxi offers a safe, effective, and customizable solution for glowing, refreshed skin.

Performed in our Manhattan office by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, as well as Nurse Leanne Jones and Aesthetician Silvana Mos, Moxi laser is a top choice for patients seeking a preventative or low-downtime laser experience. Consultations and follow-ups are also available in Rye, NY.

What Is Moxi Laser and How Does It Work?

Moxi laser uses a 1927nm non-ablative fractional wavelength that targets water within skin cells to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Unlike more aggressive resurfacing lasers, Moxi delivers energy in controlled microzones, allowing the surrounding tissue to remain intact for faster healing.

This makes Moxi highly effective for treating:

• Uneven skin tone and early pigmentation

• Sun damage and freckles

• Mild textural issues

• Dullness and lack of radiance

• Preventative skin aging in younger patients

Because it works beneath the skin’s surface, Moxi helps improve tone and clarity gradually while triggering collagen production for long-term skin improvement.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Moxi Laser in NYC?

You may be an ideal candidate for Moxi if you:

• Are noticing the first signs of aging, like dullness, uneven tone, or fine lines

• Want to brighten and even out your complexion without downtime

• Are looking for a gentle treatment that fits easily into your lifestyle

• Have lighter to medium skin tones and are in generally good health

• Are committed to maintaining skin health with ongoing treatments and sun protection

Moxi is a favorite among patients who want to preserve youthful skin or maintain the results of more aggressive procedures.

When Moxi May Not Be Right for You

While Moxi is safe for most skin types, it may not be the best choice if you:

• Have an active skin infection, cold sore, or breakout

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Are currently using photosensitizing medications

• Have uncontrolled inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea in the treatment area

During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine if Moxi is the best fit for you.

How to Prepare for Moxi Laser Treatment

Proper preparation can help maximize your results and ensure a comfortable experience. Key steps include:

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen in the days leading up to your appointment

• Discontinue Irritants: Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products at least 3–5 days before treatment

• Clean Skin: Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin

• Discuss Medications: Let your provider know about any medications or supplements you’re taking that may affect healing

Our team will provide you with a personalized set of pre-treatment instructions based on your skin type and history.

What to Expect During Moxi Laser Treatment

Moxi laser is a quick and comfortable treatment performed right in our Manhattan office. Most sessions take only 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

Here’s what to expect:

• Before Treatment: Your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort

• During Treatment: The Moxi device glides over the skin, delivering precise energy to create controlled micro-injuries beneath the surface. You may feel a mild prickling or warmth

• After Treatment: Your skin may look slightly pink or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort after the procedure

Since Moxi is non-ablative, there’s no broken skin or extended downtime—making it an excellent “lunchtime” treatment.

Moxi Recovery and Results Timeline

One of Moxi’s biggest advantages is its easy recovery and natural progression of results.

• First 24–48 Hours: Expect mild redness and warmth. The skin may feel tight or dry as healing begins

• Days 2–4: You’ll notice small dark dots on the skin called “MENDS” (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris), which flake off naturally

• By Day 5–7: Skin will feel smoother, look brighter, and show more even tone

• Weeks 2–4: Collagen stimulation continues, and full results begin to appear with regular use of SPF and good skincare

Most patients achieve the best results with a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance sessions.

What Results Can You Expect from Moxi?

Moxi laser treatments leave your skin:

• Smoother in texture

• More even in tone

• Brighter and more radiant

• Better prepared for long-term aging prevention

It’s the perfect solution for those looking to freshen their complexion without the downtime of more intensive lasers like CO2. Results continue to improve with each session and are enhanced when combined with consistent skincare and sun protection.

Complementary Treatments to Enhance Moxi Results

For comprehensive skin rejuvenation, Moxi pairs beautifully with:

• BBL Laser: Target redness and pigmentation while Moxi improves tone and texture

• Hydrating Facials: Soothe the skin and restore hydration post-laser

• Injectables (Dysport or Fillers): Smooth deeper lines or restore facial volume for a fully refreshed look

Alternatives to Moxi Laser

If Moxi isn’t quite right for your skin or goals, consider these alternatives:

• CO2 Laser: A more intensive resurfacing option for deep wrinkles, scars, or severe sun damage

• Chemical Peels: Ideal for improving brightness and mild textural issues with minimal commitment

• Microneedling: Boost collagen and improve tone using mechanical stimulation rather than light-based energy
