MOXI™ laser is known for its gentle yet powerful ability to refresh skin tone and texture with minimal downtime. Even with its non-invasive nature, knowing how to support your skin after your appointment can make a big difference in how quickly you heal.
At Southlake Plastic Surgery, MOXI laser treatments are performed under the guidance of board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Mark E. Mason and Dr. Matthew Novak. Their combined experience, training, and dedication to excellence have earned them recognition as leading providers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
If you’ve recently booked a MOXI session or are considering one, here are four essential tips to help speed up your recovery.
1. Keep Skin Cool and Calm
Immediately after your MOXI appointment, your skin may feel warm or look slightly pink — similar to a mild sunburn. Use cool compresses and gentle skincare to reduce inflammation. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for at least 24 to 48 hours to prevent additional irritation.
2. Hydrate Inside and Out
Laser-treated skin craves hydration. Drink plenty of water to encourage your body to repair from the inside out. On the outside, apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer as recommended by your provider. Steer clear of active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliants until your skin has fully calmed.
3. Don’t Pick or Peel
As your skin heals, you may notice some flaking or a rough texture. This is completely normal and part of the renewal process.
Let the flaking skin shed naturally. Picking or exfoliating too soon can cause irritation, delay healing, and even risk pigmentation changes.
4. Use Sun Protection Religiously
Your skin is more sensitive to UV rays after a MOXI laser session. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even if you’re indoors or it’s cloudy. Reapply throughout the day, too, especially if you’re spending time outside. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and staying out of direct sunlight can also protect your freshly treated skin.
