MOXI
What Is MOXI Laser Treatment?
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser by Sciton — the same trusted brand behind BBL Hero. Unlike aggressive ablative lasers, MOXI gently disrupts the uppermost layers of skin to stimulate your body's natural renewal process. The result is visibly smoother, more even-toned skin with improved texture and clarity — achieved through a comfortable, low-downtime treatment that fits into even the busiest schedule.
MOXI is ideal for anyone beginning to notice early signs of aging, sun damage, or dullness who wants to stay ahead of the curve with a consistent, proactive skin-care approach. It is also an excellent entry point for those new to laser treatments, offering real results without the intensity or recovery of deeper resurfacing procedures.
At Younger You Aesthetics, MOXI is performed by our NP-led clinical team at MOXI in Sacramento, MOXI in Yuba City, and MOXI in Rancho Murieta.

Your MOXI Experience, Step by Step
- 01Step One
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our nurse practitioners. We evaluate your skin tone, concerns, and goals to determine whether MOXI alone or in combination with another treatment — such as BBL Forever Clear — is the right fit for you.
- 02Step Two
Preparation
On treatment day, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the session. The treatment area is cleansed and prepped to optimize laser contact and results.
- 03Step Three
The Treatment
Your provider uses the MOXI handpiece to deliver controlled microbeams of non-ablative 1927nm thulium laser energy across the skin. The device glides smoothly over the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or light prickling — tolerable and brief.
- 04Step Four
Post-Treatment
Immediately following MOXI, a soothing serum and SPF are applied. Your provider will walk you through a simple aftercare protocol. Most clients experience a "bronzed" look for 2–3 days as the skin sheds treated tissue — a normal and expected part of the renewal process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is MOXI painful?
Most clients find MOXI very tolerable, especially with the topical numbing cream applied beforehand. The sensation is often described as a light warmth or mild prickling. Discomfort is brief and manageable.
How long does downtime last?
Downtime with MOXI is minimal. You can expect 1–3 days of a bronzed or slightly rough texture as the skin renews itself. Most clients comfortably return to work and social activities during this time with appropriate sun protection.
How many treatments do I need?
A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart delivers the best results. Many clients maintain with one or two touch-up sessions per year after completing their initial series.
Is MOXI safe for darker skin tones?
MOXI has a strong safety profile across a range of skin tones. During your consultation, your provider will assess your skin type and customize treatment settings accordingly.
Can MOXI be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. MOXI pairs beautifully with BBL Hero — available as our MOXI + BBL Hero combination — for comprehensive renewal of tone and texture in a single session.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements are visible within 5–7 days. Full results develop over 4–6 weeks as collagen remodeling takes place beneath the surface.
