Your skin remembers
every summer.
MOXI is a 1927-nm non-ablative fractional laser designed to improve pigmentation, tone and skin quality with considerably less downtime than aggressive resurfacing.
And it doesn't stop at your jawline. MOXI can be incorporated into treatment strategies for the face and body—and can be stacked with other technologies when one wavelength isn't enough.
Brighten.
Refresh.
Maintain.
MOXI creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue untreated to support rapid recovery.
MOXI isn't just about a “glow.”
We use MOXI when the 1927-nm wavelength makes sense for the actual skin concern—not simply because someone wants a laser treatment.
Melasma
Part of a comprehensive pigment-management strategy when clinically appropriate.
Sun Damage
Improve visible changes associated with accumulated ultraviolet exposure.
Brown Spots
Target selected superficial pigment and uneven pigmentation.
Uneven Tone
Improve diffuse dyschromia and overall skin luminosity.
Texture
Fractional treatment can improve the appearance and feel of photoaged skin.
Prejuvenation
A lower-downtime option for maintaining skin quality before more advanced correction is needed.
1927 nm.
MOXI isn't simply another generic “laser facial.”
Its fractionated 1927-nm wavelength targets water within tissue and produces controlled microscopic treatment zones relatively close to the skin surface.
That makes the wavelength particularly interesting when superficial pigment, photodamage and overall skin quality are part of the treatment objective.
Fractional + Non-Ablative
Only a fraction of the treatment area receives microscopic columns of energy during each session. Surrounding untreated tissue contributes to recovery.
MOXI's manufacturer reports penetration of approximately 100–200 μm depending on treatment energy.
Not every brown spot is the same.
Correctly identifying the pigmentation matters because the treatment strategy—and sometimes whether laser should be used at all—can change.
Sun Damage
UV exposure can produce freckles, lentigines and diffuse photodamage over time.
MOXI may be an excellent optionPost-Inflammatory Pigment
Pigmentation may remain after acne, irritation, inflammation or injury. Skin type and the cause of the pigment matter when selecting treatment.
Individual assessment mattersMelasma
Melasma is a chronic and recurrent pigment disorder. It should not be approached as though it were simply another brown spot.
MOXI can be part of the strategyWe don't treat melasma like a sun spot.
Melasma is complex. Hormonal influences, ultraviolet exposure, visible light, inflammation and individual biology may all contribute.
Fractional 1927-nm treatment has published evidence supporting improvement in melasma, including in darker skin types. But recurrence can occur, and recent literature has also described melasma flaring or unmasking following treatment.
That's why our objective isn't simply to “laser the pigment away.”
We build a pigment strategy.
The laser may be only one part.
- MOXI when clinically appropriate
- Prescription pigment management when appropriate
- Tranexamic acid strategies when clinically appropriate
- Medical-grade skincare
- UV + visible-light protection
- Maintenance treatment
Melasma treatment is individualized. No laser or topical treatment can guarantee permanent clearance.
MOXI doesn't stop at your jawline.
Photodamage doesn't stop at the face—and neither does fractional laser treatment.
MOXI can be used on appropriate body areas when the treatment objective is improvement in pigmentation, tone or skin quality.
The treatment plan, settings and number of sessions are adjusted according to the area, skin type and concern being treated.
Sometimes MOXI is the treatment.
Sometimes it's part of the strategy.
Different technologies target different components of photodamage and aging. When appropriate, we combine them rather than asking one device to do everything.
1927 nm alone
An excellent standalone treatment when superficial pigment, uneven tone, early texture changes, melasma management or lower-downtime fractional renewal are the primary objectives.
Color correction + fractional renewal.
BBL targets visible brown and red discoloration while MOXI adds fractional 1927-nm treatment for pigment, tone, texture and overall skin quality.
This combination is especially compelling when photodamage extends across the:
Face + Neck + Décolletage
Treating these connected areas together can create a more comprehensive correction strategy when the same sun damage, pigment and uneven tone continue below the jawline.
When texture needs more.
For selected patients with deeper lines, more significant texture, visible pores or more advanced photodamage, HALO can add deeper fractional remodeling while MOXI addresses more superficial pigment and skin quality.
The right combination is determined by your skin—not by automatically stacking every technology available.
One laser.
Every skin type.
Many solutions.
Designed for the full spectrum of skin tones.
MOXI is designed for use across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI, making it one of the most versatile fractional laser options in our practice.
That versatility is especially important when treating patients with more melanin, where technology selection and treatment parameters matter.
Energy, density and treatment strategy are individualized according to skin tone, pigment history, current skin condition, recent sun exposure, treatment objective and risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
For many patients with darker skin tones, MOXI and Aerolase can be important options when other light-based treatments—such as BBL—may not be our preferred first choice.
MOXI vs. BBL vs. HALO
They overlap—but they are not the same treatment.
| Concern | MOXI | BBL | HALO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superficial Pigment | Excellent | Excellent | Excellent |
| Redness / Vascular | Not primary target | Excellent | Not primary target |
| Melasma Strategy | Selected patients | Highly selective | Selected patients |
| Texture | Mild–Moderate | Limited | Moderate–Advanced |
| Deeper Remodeling | Limited | Limited | Greater |
| Typical Downtime | Lower | Low | Greater |
| Maintenance / Prejuvenation | Excellent | Excellent | Periodic correction |
Sometimes the answer isn't MOXI or BBL.
Sometimes the treatment strategy uses both.
What should you expect?
Assessment
We identify what we're actually treating—pigment, melasma, photodamage, texture or a combination.
Customize
Energy, density and treatment strategy are selected for your skin and goals.
Treat
MOXI is delivered fractionally across the selected treatment area.
Renew
Temporary redness, warmth and a rough or bronzed texture may occur as treated skin renews.
How many MOXI treatments will I need?
For most corrective plans, we recommend a series of 3.
One MOXI treatment can create visible improvement, but pigmentation, sun damage, melasma, uneven tone and overall skin-quality concerns often benefit from progressive treatment.
Begin the correction.
Start addressing visible pigment, photodamage, uneven tone and texture.
Build on the response.
Continue fractional treatment as the skin progresses through the corrective series.
Complete the initial series.
Evaluate the cumulative response and transition into an individualized maintenance strategy when appropriate.
Three treatments is our typical starting recommendation—not a guarantee or requirement. Your treatment plan may vary based on the condition being treated, severity, skin type, treatment intensity and individual response.
Don't just take our word for it.
We believe patients should be able to see the clinical evidence behind the treatments we recommend.
1927 nm + Skin of Color
A review of 15 studies involving Fitzpatrick III–VI reported consistent improvement with 1927-nm fractional treatment for melasma and photoaging while emphasizing thoughtful energy and density selection to reduce adverse effects.
Read the Research →MOXI + Dyspigmentation
A prospective study specifically using the MOXI 1927-nm laser evaluated two treatments for diffuse dyspigmentation and actinic change and found statistically significant improvements in measured pigmentation after treatment.
Read the MOXI Study →Melasma Requires Respect
Recent case literature has reported melasma flaring and unmasking following 1927-nm fractional treatment, reinforcing why melasma requires careful patient selection, conservative treatment strategy and ongoing pigment management.

Questions before treatment?
What is MOXI?
MOXI is a fractionated, non-ablative 1927-nm laser used to address concerns such as photodamage, uneven pigmentation, tone and overall skin quality.
Can MOXI treat melasma?
Fractional 1927-nm treatment has published evidence supporting improvement in melasma, but melasma is chronic, recurrent and complex. Laser treatment can also aggravate pigment in some patients. We therefore treat MOXI as one potential component of a broader melasma-management strategy rather than promising permanent clearance.
Can MOXI be used on darker skin tones?
Yes. One of MOXI's major advantages is its versatility across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI.
At Bolus Med Spa, MOXI is an important fractional-laser option for patients across the full spectrum of skin tones, including patients for whom BBL may not be our preferred first-line treatment.
All skin types does not mean identical treatment settings. Energy, density and treatment strategy are individualized according to skin tone, pigment history, condition being treated and risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Can MOXI be done on the body?
Yes. MOXI is not limited to facial treatment. Depending on the concern and clinical assessment, treatment can be considered for areas such as the neck, chest, shoulders, arms, hands and selected areas of the body.
Can you combine MOXI with BBL?
Yes. MOXI and BBL can complement one another because they use different technologies. MOXI provides fractional 1927-nm treatment, while BBL can target selected pigment and vascular concerns. Combination treatment is chosen according to the patient's skin and goals.
Can MOXI be combined with HALO?
Yes, in selected patients. Combining wavelengths can allow treatment of superficial pigmentation while simultaneously addressing deeper textural or remodeling concerns. More treatment is not automatically better, so stacking is individualized.
How much downtime does MOXI have?
Downtime varies with treatment intensity. Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling and a rough or bronzed texture can occur. More intensive treatments generally produce more visible recovery than lighter maintenance treatments.
How many MOXI treatments will I need?
For most corrective MOXI plans at Bolus Med Spa, we recommend starting with a series of three treatments.
One treatment may produce visible improvement, but concerns such as sun damage, uneven pigmentation, melasma, texture and overall skin quality often benefit from progressive treatment.
After the initial corrective series, treatment frequency can transition to individualized maintenance based on your skin, goals and response.
Three treatments is a typical recommendation rather than a guarantee or requirement. Some patients may need fewer or additional treatments.
Is MOXI better than BBL or HALO?
Not necessarily. They are different technologies. MOXI may be preferable for certain superficial pigment and lower-downtime fractional goals; BBL is particularly useful for selected pigment and vascular concerns; and HALO provides deeper fractional resurfacing. In some patients, combining technologies produces the most logical treatment strategy.
Don't choose the laser.
Choose the strategy.
MOXI alone. MOXI + BBL. MOXI + HALO. Face or body. The right treatment depends on what your skin actually needs.
