MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser developed by Sciton that delivers controlled laser energy to the skin to stimulate natural cellular renewal and collagen production.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing lasers, MOXI treats the skin without removing its surface, making it suitable for patients looking to improve skin quality with significantly less downtime.
It has become one of the most popular laser treatments worldwide for:
Preventative anti-ageing
Early sun damage
Uneven skin tone
Pigmentation
Fine lines
Skin texture
Maintaining healthy skin year-round
MOXI is suitable for a wide range of skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, chest and hands.

Pigmentation
MOXI helps improve:
Sun spots
Age spots
Uneven pigmentation
Mild melasma (following clinical assessment)
Freckles
UV damage
Fine Lines

Prevention of Skin Ageing
One of MOXI's greatest benefits is prevention.
Rather than waiting until signs of ageing become more advanced, MOXI helps maintain healthier skin by encouraging continuous collagen renewal and improving overall skin resilience.
This makes it particularly popular with patients in their late 20s, 30s and 40s who want to take a proactive approach to skin health.
Sun Damage
Years of UV exposure gradually affect the skin, even if changes are not immediately visible.
MOXI can improve:
Photodamage
Uneven skin tone
Early pigmentation
Loss of radiance
Dull, tired-looking skin
Areas That Can Be Treated
MOXI can safely treat:
Face
Neck
Décolletage
Hands
Combination treatment plans can address multiple areas during the same appointment.

Wish to maintain the results of previous laser treatments
During your consultation, one of our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan based on your goals.
Treatment Stacking: MOXI + BBL HERO™
One of the most exciting developments in aesthetic medicine is treatment stacking -combining different technologies to address multiple layers of skin ageing during the same treatment plan.
At Array, MOXI is frequently combined with Sciton BBL HERO™.
BBL HERO™ treats:
Redness
Rosacea
Thread veins
Pigmentation
Sun damage
Age spots
Vascular lesions
MOXI treats:
Skin texture
Fine lines
Collagen stimulation
Pore size
Overall skin quality
Surface pigmentation
Together, these treatments work synergistically to improve both the deeper and more superficial layers of the skin, delivering more comprehensive rejuvenation than either treatment alone.
Treatment stacking is an excellent option for patients looking for noticeable skin rejuvenation with manageable downtime.
Your practitioner will advise whether combining treatments is appropriate during your consultation.

FAQ
How much downtime is there?
Most patients experience redness for 24–48 hours, followed by a sandpaper-like texture for several days as the skin naturally renews.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within the first week. Collagen production continues over the following weeks, with further improvements after each treatment session.
How many treatments do I need?
For optimal results, we commonly recommend a course of three treatments. Your practitioner will advise the most suitable plan during your consultation.
Can MOXI be combined with BBL?
Yes. Combining MOXI with Sciton BBL HERO™ is known as treatment stacking and is one of the most effective ways to improve pigmentation, redness, texture and overall skin quality in a single treatment programme.
Is MOXI suitable for all skin types?
MOXI is suitable for a wide range of skin types, but suitability will be confirmed during your consultation following a detailed skin assessment.
Can MOXI treat acne scars?
MOXI may improve mild acne scarring and uneven skin texture. Patients with more significant acne scarring may benefit from alternative treatments such as Halo® or ProFractional™ laser. We will recommend the most appropriate treatment during your consultation.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
Your practitioner will advise when it is safe to resume makeup, depending on your skin's recovery. Following the recommended aftercare instructions is important to achieve the best results.
How long do the results last?
Results can be long-lasting when supported by good skincare, daily SPF and maintenance treatments. As skin continues to age naturally, periodic treatments help maintain healthy, radiant skin.
What to Expect After Treatment
Immediately following your treatment, it is normal to experience:
Mild to moderate redness, similar to a sunburn
A sensation of warmth or tightness in the skin
Slight swelling, particularly around the eyes
Tiny dark "microscopic treatment dots" (MTDs), which indicate the skin's natural healing process has begun
Over the following few days, these microscopic treatment dots become more noticeable before naturally flaking away as new, healthier skin is revealed.
Typical Downtime
Recovery varies between individuals, but most patients can expect:
Day 1
Redness and warmth similar to mild sunburn
Mild swelling may be present
Skin feels tight and dry
Days 2–3
Microscopic treatment dots become more visible
Skin develops a rough, sandpaper-like texture
Redness begins to settle
Days 3–5
Pigmented areas start to naturally exfoliate
Skin may feel dry or slightly itchy
New, fresher skin begins to appear
Days 5–7
Most redness has resolved
Skin appears brighter and smoother
Normal skincare and makeup can usually be resumed if advised by your practitioner
While many patients feel comfortable returning to work within 24–48 hours, those attending important social events may prefer to allow approximately one week for complete recovery.
Aftercare Instructions
To achieve the best possible results and support your skin's healing, please follow these aftercare recommendations.
During the First 24 Hours
Keep the skin clean and dry.
Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area unnecessarily.
Do not apply makeup unless advised by your practitioner.
Avoid vigorous exercise, hot yoga or activities that cause excessive sweating.
Avoid hot baths, saunas and steam rooms.
Stay well hydrated.
Use only the recommended gentle cleanser and moisturiser.
Avoid exfoliating products, retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and vitamin C until advised it is safe to restart them.
Do not pick or scratch the microscopic treatment dots as this may increase the risk of irritation or pigmentation changes.
