When it comes to keeping the skin firm, healthy, and youthful, many patients take a proactive approach and wish to preemptively address signs of aging before they fully develop. This “prejuvenation” focuses on prevention rather than correction, allowing less aggressive treatment when compared to more invasive methods of skin renewal.
MOXI™ by Sciton is a gentle but highly effective non-surgical treatment at M Spa designed to reduce early signs of sun damage, balance an uneven tone, soften fine lines, and improve other skin concerns before they become more noticeable. As a result, patients are able to delay the natural aging process and refresh their complexion without downtime or major disruptions in their schedule.
At M Spa, patients seeking skin rejuvenation in Reno feel confident they’re receiving the highest standard of personalized treatment from a practice led by a Stanford-trained board-certified plastic surgeon. We’d be happy to answer any questions you have about the treatment process, so don’t hesitate to contact our friendly office team for more information.
MOXI™ can be a minimally invasive way to prevent visible or developing signs of aging compromising a bright, younger-looking complexion. By using light-based energy to revitalize the skin, MOXI™ can:
This laser treatment can also be a safe option for all skin types, including darker skin tones, and requires little to no downtime compared to more aggressive lasers. Best of all, most MOXI™ treatments can be completed in as little as 8 to 10 minutes, offering a quick and comfortable session that easily fits into a busy schedule.
MOXI™ is a quick in-office procedure performed at our state-of-the-art med spa in Reno. Most patients are in and out of their appointment within 30 minutes, with actual treatment time amounting to less than 15 minutes in many cases. Before your session, a topical numbing agent is applied to the skin to enhance comfort during the treatment process.
Using a handpiece that is gently guided across the treatment sites, a non-ablative laser delivers controlled light energy to the area(s) of concern. This creates tiny micro-injuries, triggering the formation of new skin and collagen. You may feel a mild warming or prickling sensation, but treatment is generally well-tolerated. Afterwards, your skin may look and feel similar to a light sunburn, which is normal and expected as the laser triggers your skin’s natural healing capabilities.
There is minimal downtime after treatment with the MOXI™ laser, which patients appreciate compared to laser skin resurfacing procedures that require more prolonged recovery time. Most patients experience mild redness for a day or two, along with tiny bronze-toned dots on the treated area that flake off naturally within three to five days. Many people are comfortable returning to normal activities, including wearing makeup, within one day of treatment. To support healing, it’s important to keep skin gently cleansed, moisturized, and protected with a high-SPF sunscreen in the days following treatment.
While rates for aesthetic treatments vary across the country, patients find prices in the Reno and Lake Tahoe areas relatively more manageable than other major metropolitan cities. Each person receives a customized cost estimate based on details like:
