CO2 Is Out. MOXI® Is In. Here’s Why Your Skin Will Thank You.

When it comes to skin rejuvenation, not all lasers are created equal. At Nude Medical Aesthetics, we believe in delivering scientifically backed, results-driven treatments that prioritize safety, efficacy, and minimal downtime. That’s exactly why we’ve chosen to offer The Nude Laser Facial using the MOXI® laser by Sciton—a revolutionary technology that’s redefining what it means to get a “laser facial.”

If you’re considering laser resurfacing and wondering how MOXI® stacks up against the more aggressive CO2 laser, here’s a clear breakdown of why MOXI® is the intelligent choice for both prevention and correction.

1. Controlled Non-Ablative Technology = Minimal Downtime, Maximum Safety

Unlike ablative CO2 lasers, which vaporize the entire outer layer of the skin, MOXI® is a non-ablative fractional laser. It works by creating micro-injuries in the skin’s dermis without fully removing the epidermis. This results in a more controlled healing response:

• Reduced risk of post-treatment infection

• Minimal disruption to the skin barrier

• No oozing, scabbing, or extended downtime

This makes The Nude Laser Facial safe for all skin types, tones, and ages—ideal for those wanting real results without the risks of aggressive resurfacing.

2. Precision Wavelength for Collagen Stimulation and Pigment Clearance

MOXI® operates at a 1927 nm wavelength, specifically targeting water within the skin. This makes it highly effective for:

• Stimulating collagen production

• Reducing sun damage and pigmentation

• Smoothing texture and minimizing pore size

In contrast, CO2 lasers—while effective—cause significant dermal damage, often requiring weeks of downtime and exposing the patient to potential scarring, hypopigmentation, or hyperpigmentation.

3. Safe for All Seasons and Skin Types

Because MOXI® is gentle and non-ablative, it can be used year-round, including in the summer months—something CO2 lasers strongly discourage due to the high risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

It’s also safe for darker skin tones, where traditional ablative lasers like CO2 pose significant risk due to their high thermal injury profile.

4. Preventative and Corrective: The Prejuvenation Laser

MOXI® is not just a corrective tool—it’s a preventative, or “prejuvenation,” laser. This makes it a powerful option for younger patients looking to delay the onset of visible aging.

CO2 lasers are typically reserved for more advanced skin aging and damage, often as a one-time intervention with intense recovery. MOXI®, by contrast, supports skin health maintenance with regular, low-downtime treatments.

5. Pairing Potential: Bespoke BBL® + MOXI® = Skin Optimization

One of the hallmarks of The Nude Laser Facial is its ability to pair beautifully with other Sciton technologies, especially Bespoke BBL® (BroadBand Light). When used in tandem, they target:

• Redness, pigmentation, and vascular issues (Bespoke BBL®)

• Texture, fine lines, and collagen loss (MOXI®)

This combination delivers synergistic results that far exceed what traditional CO2 resurfacing can achieve in a single, high-risk session.

6. Client-Centered Comfort and Experience

The MOXI® treatment is well-tolerated with topical numbing and typically lasts under 30 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling heat—not the pain, swelling, and extended redness associated with CO2.

Recovery is quick: expect light bronzing and a sandpaper-like texture for a few days—not the crusting or social downtime typical with CO2.

Final Word: Modern, Safe, and Stunning

At Nude Medical Aesthetics, we believe advanced skincare should be transformative, not traumatic. The Nude Laser Facial by MOXI® allows us to offer a modern, medically precise solution that fits into your lifestyle without sacrificing safety or results.

If you're ready for radiant skin with less risk and more reward, MOXI® is your new skincare ally.
