MOXI™ LASER
MOXI is the latest way to revitalize aging skin by reducing pigment and improving the general tone and texture of skin. This low-to-no downtime treatment is a year-round solution that is fast with little-to-no discomfort. While perfect for people looking to correct the initial signs of sun damage and aging, it is also a wonderful addition to one’s ongoing skin treatment regimen to maintain skin perfection. MOXI is great for men and women of all skin types, as it lightens, brightens giving you a GLOW BOOST!
Maximize Results
The combination of MOXI and BBL (broadband light therapy) is an unbeatable treatment pairing for total body skin renewal. MOXI improves the surface and texture of the skin, while BBL evens out areas of excess red and brown pigment. The effect of the two treatments together is truly synergistic.

MOXI™ LASER OVERVIEW
Like all lasers, MOXI delivers a concentrated beam of light at a single wavelength, and is ideal for milder degrees of rejuvenation in patients in their 20s to early 40s.
The Moxi laser in Dubuque is non-ablative, meaning it doesn't vaporize or remove the outer layer of skin the way an ablative laser does. Instead, it creates microscopic, controlled injury zones just beneath the surface — forming the small dots called MENDs — which the body clears naturally as it rebuilds collagen and elastin lost to early sun damage. The result is a smoother skin surface, better tone, and improved pigmentation, with a quick recovery that fits a busy lifestyle.
MOXI can improve the look of your skin’s appearance, addressing:
-
fine lines and wrinkles
-
age and sunspots
-
uneven skin tone or texture
-
sun-damaged skin
-
mild to moderate acne scars
WHAT IS MOXI AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
MOXI delivers gentle micro-pulses of fractionated laser energy to the skin in order to create controlled damage to skin cells. The body’s natural response is to remove the damaged cells which contain pigment and other signs of aging, replacing the cells with fresh new cells. The result is fresh, bright-looking skin, just after your first visit.
Depending on the level of treatment provided, most people find the treatment is well tolerated. Cooling air and a recommended numbing cream are used to help ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
WHAT IS A MOXI TREATMENT LIKE?
Moxi treatments can be delivered at 3 levels of intensity. At Level 1 discomfort is relatively mild, even without topical anesthesia. Most patients with level 2 or level 3 Moxi treatments will come in at least 30 minutes before their treatment so that a numbing cream can be applied to the skin. The Givens MD Facial Plastics | Aesthetics laser technician will cleanse your skin and gently roll the device across your face as it delivers tiny bursts of energy in a pattern that leaves space between areas where the beam of energy has penetrated. The power of the energy delivered and the spacing between the tiny spots of energy will be matched by your clinician to what is appropriate for your skin. Before you know it, your treatment is complete!
WHAT IS THE MOXI RECOVERY LIKE?
For the day following your treatment your skin may appear red and depending on your level of treatment you may see the small dots called MENDs where the laser was applied. As the microzones heal, they will darken and your skin may feel rough. Between days 3-5, the MENDs will slough/fall off revealing the renewed skin beneath. Because this is a non-ablative fractionated treatment, the post-care regimen is simple. Wear a moisturizing physical sunscreen and stay out of the sun. You may wear make-up 24 hours after your treatment.
