MOXI Laser
MOXI Laser in Chicago, IL
Not every laser treatment needs to be intensive to be effective. MOXI was designed for patients who want to stay ahead of the visible signs of aging and sun damage rather than wait to correct them later. At Therahaus Wellness Medspa in South Loop, Chicago, MOXI is one of our most popular gentle laser options, offering meaningful improvement in tone and texture with a recovery period that fits easily into a busy life.
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser that delivers controlled energy into the skin to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones. This stimulates the skin's natural renewal process and supports collagen production, helping to address uneven tone, dullness, early pigmentation, and rough texture before they become more pronounced. Because MOXI is gentler than more aggressive resurfacing lasers, it is an excellent entry point for patients new to laser treatments and a smart, proactive choice for those who want to maintain healthy, radiant skin for years to come.
How MOXI Works
MOXI delivers laser energy in a fractional pattern, treating only a fraction of the skin's surface in each pass while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones that trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen support and accelerating cellular turnover. As treated pigment rises to the surface and gradually sloughs away, the skin underneath renews, revealing a smoother, more even, more radiant complexion.
Your provider assesses your skin tone, texture, and specific concerns to confirm MOXI is the right fit and determines the appropriate treatment intensity.
The skin is cleansed thoroughly. Topical numbing may be used depending on the treatment area and your provider's recommendation, and protective eyewear is provided.
The MOXI laser is passed systematically across the treatment area. You may feel warmth, prickling, or a sunburn-like sensation. Sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes.
Redness, mild swelling, dryness, and a sandpaper-like texture are common immediately following treatment. Tiny darkened spots may rise to the surface and will naturally slough away.
Who Benefits Most from MOXI
MOXI is ideal for patients who want to maintain healthy, even-toned skin or address the earliest signs of sun damage and aging before they become more difficult to correct.
Ideal for patients who:
- Want to proactively prevent and address early signs of sun damage, dullness, and uneven tone
- Are looking for a gentler laser option with a more manageable recovery period
- Have early pigmentation, rough texture, or dull-looking skin they want to refresh
- Are new to laser treatments and want an approachable entry point into skin rejuvenation
- Want a treatment that can be scheduled regularly as part of an ongoing prejuvenation routine

Refreshes skin tone and texture for a brighter, more even-looking complexion after just a few sessions.
Addresses early sun damage and pigmentation before these concerns become more pronounced or harder to treat.
Supports the skin's natural collagen production for gradual, ongoing improvement in skin quality.
Involves a more manageable recovery period compared to deeper resurfacing treatments.

MOXI Aftercare: What to Know
After MOXI, your skin will likely feel dry, rough, or sandpaper-like as treated pigment and micro-injuries renew. Tiny darkened spots may appear and naturally flake away. Most patients notice brighter, smoother skin within one to two weeks.
Any Questions?
Most patients experience mild redness, dryness, and rough texture for several days. Downtime varies by treatment intensity and individual healing.
Skin may appear brighter and smoother within 1 to 2 weeks as treated pigment sloughs away and the skin renews.
A series of treatments is often recommended for best correction and maintenance.
MOXI may be combined with other treatments such as BBL HEROic when appropriate and recommended by your provider.
