Why Skin Science Clinic

MOXI is gentle, but the treatment plan still matters

MOXI is designed to deliver controlled fractional resurfacing with less recovery than more aggressive laser treatments. That does not make it a one-size-fits-all procedure.

At Skin Science Clinic, Freya assesses your skin type, pigmentation pattern, sensitivity, barrier health, recent sun exposure, previous treatments and desired downtime before selecting the most appropriate energy, density and number of passes.

This allows MOXI to be used as a light refresh and maintenance treatment, or more actively for superficial pigmentation, sun damage and rough texture. Where redness, deeper scarring or more advanced resurfacing are the main concerns, Freya may recommend BBL, HALO or another treatment pathway instead.

MOXI Treatment In London

From £499

MOXI is particularly suited to patients who want a meaningful improvement in skin clarity and texture without the recovery associated with deeper resurfacing. It can be an excellent first laser treatment, a carefully timed pre-event option, or part of a long-term maintenance programme.

Common treatment goals include superficial pigmentation, sun damage, uneven tone, dullness, rough texture, early signs of ageing and the appearance of enlarged pores.

What our clients say

Patients often choose MOXI because the treatment intensity can be matched to their priorities. Some want a subtle refresh with very little disruption; others want a more active resurfacing session and are comfortable with several days of bronzing and texture.

Choose Your MOXI Laser Option

Choose MOXI alone when the main priorities are superficial pigmentation, texture, radiance and maintenance. Choose BBL + MOXI when redness, visible vessels or selected brown pigment sit alongside texture and overall skin-quality concerns.

Primary Option

MOXI — £499

A personalised standalone MOXI treatment, adjusted from a light refresh to a more active resurfacing session. Best for superficial pigmentation, sun damage, uneven tone, rough texture, dullness, early signs of ageing and ongoing skin maintenance.

Book MOXI
Combination Option

BBL + MOXI — £799

A combined treatment for patients with mixed concerns. BBL addresses visible redness, vascular changes and selected brown pigment; MOXI adds fractional resurfacing for texture, superficial pigmentation and overall skin clarity.

The Assessment

The right treatment level begins with the right assessment

Before treatment, Freya reviews your concerns, Fitzpatrick skin type, pigmentation pattern, sensitivity, barrier function, recent UV exposure, medication and procedure history. This is especially important where melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation or darker skin types are involved.

She will decide whether MOXI alone is appropriate and select a treatment level that balances results, comfort and planned downtime. If a concern is better treated with BBL, HALO, RF microneedling or skincare first, this will be discussed honestly.

Bespoke Comfort Preparation

Effective anaesthesia supports precise treatment

Before every MOXI treatment, we apply Skin Science Clinic’s bespoke, higher-strength topical anaesthetic and allow time for it to take full effect. Selected for more reliable and consistent numbing than standard laser creams, it helps make treatment noticeably more comfortable.

Effective anaesthesia allows Freya to perform the treatment calmly and precisely, completing the planned overlapping passes at the settings chosen for your skin. Once the anaesthetic has worked, it is fully removed, the skin is cleansed, and protective eyewear is applied. A Zimmer cool-air device is also used during and after treatment to reduce heat sensation and support comfort.

Book your treatment
The Fractional Step

Creating controlled microscopic treatment zones

Freya moves the MOXI handpiece evenly across the treatment area in a series of measured passes. The 1927 nm wavelength is absorbed by water in the skin, creating precise micro-coagulation zones in the superficial layers.

Because treatment is fractional, surrounding skin remains untreated and supports recovery. The single-use rolling tip and device feedback support consistent delivery, while Freya monitors the skin throughout.

Establishing effective anaesthesia before this stage helps you remain settled while Freya maintains a steady pace, even overlap and consistent coverage across the treatment area.

Book your treatment
The Personalisation Step

Building the correct density for your goals

MOXI can be adjusted by changing the energy, treatment density and number of passes. A lighter treatment may be selected for glow, early maintenance or reduced downtime; a more active treatment may be chosen for superficial pigmentation, sun damage and rough texture.

Freya adapts the coverage and settings according to how your skin responds rather than treating every patient with a fixed protocol.

Book your treatment
The Recovery Step

Cooling, soothing care and SPF

Immediately after MOXI, the skin may feel hot and appear pink. Zimmer cooling is used to ease heat, followed by a soothing mask and moisturiser.

Over the next three days, tiny bronzed dots called MENDs may appear and the skin may feel dry or sandpapery. This is part of the renewal process and should be left to flake naturally – do not pick, scrub or exfoliate.

Freya will provide tailored aftercare, including gentle cleansing, regular moisturising, avoiding strenuous exercise and sweating for at least 24 hours, pausing retinoids and acids until the skin has settled, and using daily SPF 50.

Treatment Planning

MOXI alone, with BBL, or within a longer-term plan

01

MOXI Alone

MOXI alone is usually chosen when the primary aims are superficial pigmentation, uneven tone, rough texture and long-term maintenance.

02

BBL + MOXI

BBL + MOXI may be recommended when visible redness, vascular change or selected brown pigment occur alongside textural concerns. The two technologies work in different ways, allowing a broader treatment of tone and texture within one planned appointment.

03

HALO & Longer-Term Plans

For deeper or more established textural and ageing concerns, HALO may be more appropriate when a patient is comfortable with greater downtime. Medical-grade skincare and daily SPF remain important for supporting and maintaining every treatment plan.

The most appropriate option depends on your skin, the pattern and depth of the concern, your previous treatment history and the amount of recovery time you can accommodate.

MOXI Treatment FAQs

MOXI is a 1927 nm fractional, non-ablative laser by Sciton. It creates controlled microscopic treatment zones in the superficial skin to support renewal of uneven pigmentation, tone and texture without removing the entire surface of the skin.

MOXI can help improve superficial pigmentation, sun damage, uneven tone, dullness, rough texture, early signs of ageing and the appearance of enlarged pores. It can also be used as a proactive maintenance or “prejuvenation” treatment before more established changes develop.

The 1927 nm wavelength is absorbed by water within the skin. This creates precise micro-coagulation zones that activate the skin’s natural renewal response while leaving surrounding tissue untreated to support recovery.

Fractional means that only microscopic columns of skin are treated, with untreated skin left between them. Non-ablative means that the laser heats and coagulates targeted tissue without fully removing the skin’s outer surface. This generally allows faster recovery than ablative resurfacing.

MOXI is designed for use across all Fitzpatrick skin types because its 1927 nm wavelength targets water rather than melanin. Individual assessment is still essential, particularly where there is recent tanning, active inflammation, melasma or a tendency to develop post-inflammatory pigmentation.

MOXI can be considered throughout the year for suitable patients, but recent tanning and excessive UV exposure should be avoided. Strict sun protection before and after treatment remains essential regardless of the season.

MOXI may be considered for selected patients with melasma, usually as one part of a broader pigment-management plan. It is not a cure, melasma can recur, and treatment must be combined with careful assessment, appropriate skincare and rigorous photoprotection.

MOXI may help with post-inflammatory pigmentation and mild superficial textural change. Deeper or tethered acne scars usually require a different or combined approach, such as HALO, RF microneedling, subcision or another scar-specific treatment plan.

The laser delivery itself is often completed in approximately 8 to 10 minutes for a facial treatment, depending on the density and number of passes. The full appointment is longer because sufficient time is allowed for our bespoke topical anaesthetic to take full effect, followed by preparation, laser delivery, Zimmer cooling and aftercare.

We do not rely on a standard off-the-shelf numbing cream. Before every MOXI treatment, we apply a bespoke, higher-strength topical anaesthetic formulation selected by the clinic to provide more effective and consistent numbing. It is given adequate time to work and is then fully removed before laser treatment. Patients frequently tell us that this preparation makes a noticeable difference to their comfort. For safety, the exact formulation and application protocol are managed by the clinic rather than supplied for home use.

Most patients describe warmth, prickling or a gradually increasing heat sensation rather than sharp pain. Our bespoke topical anaesthetic is applied before every treatment, and Zimmer cool air is used during the procedure and immediately afterwards. Effective numbing helps Freya complete the planned passes calmly, evenly and without rushing, supporting both comfort and consistent treatment delivery.

Downtime depends on treatment intensity. The skin is usually warm and pink immediately afterwards, and some swelling can occur. Tiny bronzed dots and a dry, sandpaper-like texture often develop over the following days before flaking naturally. Many patients continue normal activities, but the skin may remain visibly textured for several days.

MENDs are microscopic epidermal necrotic debris – tiny dark or bronzed dots that commonly appear on the second or third day after treatment. They are part of the normal renewal process. Keep the skin moisturised and allow them to flake away naturally without picking or exfoliating.

Some patients notice a brighter, smoother appearance after one treatment. A course of approximately two to four sessions may be recommended for more established pigmentation, sun damage or texture, followed by maintenance according to your skin and goals. Freya will advise on the most appropriate interval.

Early brightness and smoothness can become noticeable once redness, bronzing and MENDs have settled. Improvement may continue over the following weeks as the skin renews. The pace and degree of change depend on the concern, treatment intensity and number of sessions.

MOXI is a fractional 1927 nm laser that is particularly useful for superficial pigmentation, texture and overall skin renewal. BBL is BroadBand Light and is often selected for visible redness, vascular changes and selected brown pigment. Freya may recommend one technology or combine them when concerns overlap.

MOXI is a gentler, more superficial non-ablative treatment with lower downtime. HALO treats at greater depth and can address more established sun damage, texture and ageing concerns, but usually involves a more noticeable recovery. The right option depends on the depth of the concern and your downtime preferences.

Yes. BBL and MOXI complement one another because they use different mechanisms. BBL can address redness, vascular change and selected pigment, while MOXI adds fractional resurfacing for texture, superficial pigment and overall clarity. Combination suitability requires a full assessment.

Avoid tanning, sunburn and excessive UV exposure before treatment. You may be asked to pause retinoids, exfoliating acids or other active skincare for several days. Tell the clinic about medications, recent procedures, active skin problems and any history of cold sores so that preparation can be tailored safely.

Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser, avoid scrubbing or picking, and apply daily broad-spectrum SPF 50. Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for at least 24 hours, and do not restart retinoids or exfoliating acids until the skin has fully settled and Freya has advised that it is appropriate.

Makeup can often be applied after 24 hours if the skin is comfortable and intact, but follow the individual aftercare advice given at your appointment. Use clean applicators and avoid heavy rubbing while the skin is healing.

MOXI can be used as part of event preparation, but it should not be scheduled immediately before an important occasion, especially if it is your first treatment. Allow enough time for redness, bronzing, MENDs and flaking to settle, and ask Freya to advise on timing.

MOXI can be used on the face and selected body areas, including the neck, chest, hands, arms and legs. Pricing and treatment time vary according to the area, so confirm this when booking.

MOXI is not a hair-removal wavelength and can usually be used over beard areas. Freya will assess the skin and hair-bearing area and adjust the treatment approach where required.

Every MOXI treatment at Skin Science Clinic is performed by Freya. This supports continuity, consistent treatment planning and careful adjustment of future settings according to how your skin responds.
