We’re looking forward to your MOXI treatment! MOXI is our gentle “pre-juvenation” laser — perfect for brightening complexion, light resurfacing, more even texture, with minimal downtime. Here’s how to prepare. Below, you’ll find your full pre-treatment prep checklist, followed by your post-treatment care guide.
- Let us know if you’re taking any photosensitizing medications (antibiotics, St. John’s Wort, etc.).
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner on the treatment area.
- Discontinue Retin-A/retinoid skincare products.
- Cleanse skin + do not apply any lotions, oils, or makeup.
- Use the provided disposable headband to keep hair back & face clear.
- Put on the provided medical gloves for clean & easy numbing application.
- Apply your dose of prescription topical numbing as a thin layer over the treatment area.
Questions before your appointment? Call or text us at 215.544.3883 — we’re always happy to help you get ready.
- You have an active cold sore, rash, sunburn, or infection in the treatment area.
- You are pregnant or nursing.
- You’ve used Accutane within the last 6 months.
- You’ve had a chemical peel, laser resurfacing, or other energy treatment in the area within the last 3 months.
- The treated area will likely feel warm — a cold compress can help with comfort.
- Redness is normal and usually resolves within 2–5 days.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, or makeup for at least 24 hours.
- Cleanse skin twice a day with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser — do not scrub, and avoid exfoliants.
- Apply an antioxidant serum (SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic) once daily after cleansing, and a recovery serum (SkinCeuticals Advanced RGN-6) twice daily after your serum.
- Use a soothing facial mist throughout the day as needed for comfort.
- SPF is a must — apply daily after your skincare routine.
- Your skin will feel very dry, almost like sandpaper — tiny brown spots called MENDs will appear and flake off naturally as your skin renews. This is expected and a good sign.
- Keep your skin consistently moisturized and do not pick at it — this is crucial for the best results.
