If you’ve been searching for a gentle yet highly effective skin treatment to rejuvenate your complexion, the MOXI Laser has likely caught your attention. It’s ideal for early signs of aging, sun damage, uneven tone and pigmentation issues. In fact, you could call it a wonderful “prejuvenation” treatment. At Buckhead Plastic Surgery and LUX Med Spa in Atlanta, GA, MOXI has become a go-to for patients who want visible improvement with minimal downtime. If you’re new to this innovative technology, you might be wondering: What kind of results can I expect? And just as importantly, what does MOXI laser aftercare involve?

What You’ll Learn

Today, we’ll be answering all of your questions about MOXI laser and MOXI laser aftercare—including hydration, sun protection and why avoiding harsh products is crucial for healing and longevity.

  • MOXI laser results typically appear within a week and improve for months after treatment.
  • Expect a short period of rough texture (MENDS) before your smoother, more radiant skin emerges.
  • Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months keep results fresh.
  • Choosing an experienced provider in Atlanta ensures optimal safety and outcome.

What to Expect

MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser that targets early signs of skin aging, uneven tone and texture by gently delivering controlled energy into the skin. This energy stimulates collagen production and encourages the skin’s natural renewal process.

At LUX Med Spa in Atlanta, patients love MOXI because:

  • It’s suitable for all skin types and tones.
  • Treatments are quick—often 30 minutes or less.
  • Downtime is minimal, making it an easy “lunchtime” procedure.
  • It can be done year-round, even in summer months, with proper sun protection.
  • You can use MOXI as a stand-alone refresher or as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan.

Timeline for Visible Results

When it comes to MOXI laser aftercare, here’s a quick snapshot of what to expect.

Immediate Changes

Within 3–5 days after treatment, you may notice a slightly bronzed look to your skin and a rougher texture. This is normal—it’s the MENDS (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) working their way out.

First Week

As the MENDS shed, your skin will start to feel softer and look more even-toned.

2–4 Weeks

This is when you’ll see the most noticeable MOXI laser results—improved texture, a brighter complexion and a reduction in pigmentation irregularities.

Ongoing Improvement

Because collagen remodeling continues for weeks, your skin’s firmness and smoothness may keep improving for up to three months after treatment.

Immediate Aftercare Tips

MOXI laser aftercare is essential for both comfort and results. Here’s what we recommend at Buckhead Plastic Surgery / LUX Med Spa to recover faster and see optimal results:

  • Use a clean, cold washcloth to ease any warmth or redness.
  • Keep your skin well-moisturized with a gentle, non-irritating product.
  • Avoid retinoids, exfoliants and acids until your provider clears you.
  • Using SPF 30+ daily is non-negotiable, even if you’re mostly indoors.
  • Do not pick or scratch as your skin heals; let the MENDS fall away naturally.

Benefits You’ll Notice

After a few weeks, the benefits of your Moxi Laser treatment will become more visible as your skin fully completes its renewal process. By this stage, any initial redness or rough texture from the healing period has faded, revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath.

  • You’ll notice an overall brighter, more even complexion thanks to the Moxi laser’s ability to target pigment irregularities.
  • Dark spots and sun damage will appear lighter, and skin tone will look more uniform.
  • Fine lines and early signs of aging may seem softened, giving your face a refreshed, well-rested appearance.
  • Your skin will also feel different—softer to the touch, with a more refined texture.
  • The collagen stimulation triggered by the treatment will be well underway, subtly improving firmness and resilience.
  • Pores may appear smaller, and your skin’s natural radiance will be more apparent, especially with proper sun protection and good skincare habits.

These results often continue to improve for several months as collagen production increases, making Moxi an ideal choice for both immediate glow and long-term skin health. Many patients describe their skin a few weeks post-Moxi as clearer, smoother, and more luminous—the kind of improvement that keeps them coming back for seasonal maintenance sessions.

When to Schedule Your Next MOXI Session

The ideal frequency for MOXI treatments depends on your goals and your skin’s needs. For correction, a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart often delivers the best transformation. Once you’ve achieved your desired results, one session every season (about 4 times per year) can keep your skin radiant year-round.

During your consultation, your provider at Buckhead Plastic Surgery / LUX Med Spa will create a personalized plan that works with your schedule, budget and desired outcomes. That way you will know ahead of time how many MOXI sessions you will need.
