Thoughtful Technology for Skin That Evolves With You

Tri Valley Plastic Surgery believes that the most beautiful results are achieved by restoring clarity, balance, and confidence without overcorrection. MOXI aligns with our philosophy of natural, preventative care by offering a refined approach to early skin rejuvenation.

Under the leadership of Dr. Steven Williams, Past President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and Dr. Philip Wasicek, a double board-certified plastic surgeon known for his precision and natural results, our team brings advanced expertise to every treatment. MOXI allows us to provide personalized skin rejuvenation with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

What Is MOXI?

MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser that gently delivers energy into the skin to improve tone, texture, and early signs of sun damage—without removing the outer layer of skin.

Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, MOXI is designed for prejuvenation, helping to maintain youthful-looking skin and delay visible aging.

MOXI uses a 1927 nm wavelength laser that targets water within skin cells, creating controlled microthermal zones beneath the surface. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response and promotes collagen renewal. Because the treatment is non-ablative, the outer layer of skin remains largely intact, allowing for minimal downtime and a more gradual, natural improvement in skin quality.

Over time, this leads to:

  • Smoother texture
  • More even tone
  • Healthier, more resilient skin

MOXI Treatment Levels

Level 3

MOXI Laser Benefits

MOXI is an ideal option for patients who want to refresh and maintain their appearance rather than dramatically alter it. Additional benefits include the following:

  • Helps maintain results between more intensive treatments
  • Offers a comfortable, well-tolerated treatment experience
  • Suitable for early intervention before deeper concerns develop
  • Customizable treatment intensity based on individual goals
  • Quick treatment sessions that fit easily into a busy schedule
  • Supports a consistent, long-term skincare strategy
  • Can be combined with other technologies for enhanced outcomes

Are You a Good Candidate for MOXI?

You may be a strong candidate if you:

  • Have mild to moderate sun damage, pigmentation, or early textural changes
  • Are in good overall health with no active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area
  • Do not have conditions that impair healing or increase photosensitivity
  • Are not currently using medications or treatments that may affect skin response (such as certain retinoids, depending on timing)

We will also consider:

  • Your skin type and how it may respond to laser energy
  • The depth and severity of your concerns
  • Your tolerance for downtime
  • Whether MOXI should be used alone or as part of a broader treatment plan

Great Results. Minimal Downtime.

What to Expect Before, During, & After

Consultation

During your consultation, we will:

  • Assess your skin condition and areas of concern
  • Recommend the appropriate treatment level and number of sessions
  • Create a personalized plan for maintenance or correction
  • Provide clear pricing based on your treatment plan

Procedure

  • A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort (depending on treatment intensity)
  • The MOXI device is gently passed across the skin using a controlled, even motion
  • You may feel a mild warming sensation during treatment
  • The procedure typically takes less than 20 minutes for the face

Recovery

Immediately following your session, you can expect mild redness similar to a light sunburn, and your skin may feel warm or slightly rough to the touch. Over the first one to three days, microscopic treatment zones will appear, causing the skin to feel dry or textured, though makeup can typically be applied within 24 hours. By days three to five, these microscopic scabs (MENDs) will naturally shed, fully revealing your refreshed, smoother skin.

Results

  • Visible improvement in tone and texture within 5–7 days
  • Continued improvement with a series of treatments
  • Most patients benefit from 3–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart

How many treatments will I need to see meaningful results?

What areas of the body can be treated with MOXI?

Is MOXI safe for patients with sensitive skin?

What are the risks or side effects of MOXI?

Can MOXI be combined with injectables or other aesthetic treatments?

How is MOXI different from more aggressive laser treatments?

MOXI is designed for lighter, preventative skin correction rather than intensive resurfacing. While more aggressive lasers target deeper wrinkles or significant damage, MOXI focuses on maintaining skin quality and addressing early changes with a more gradual, controlled approach.

How many treatments will I need to see meaningful results?

Most patients benefit from a series of treatments rather than a single session. Depending on your goals, your provider may recommend an initial series followed by periodic maintenance to preserve and build upon your results over time.

What areas of the body can be treated with MOXI?

In addition to the face, MOXI can be used on areas commonly affected by sun exposure and early aging, such as the neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. Treatment plans are customized based on the specific area and skin condition.

How will MOXI affect my current skincare routine?

You may need to temporarily adjust certain products—particularly active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliants—before and after treatment. Your provider will give you precise guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.

Is MOXI safe for patients with sensitive skin?

In many cases, yes. Because the treatment is customizable, settings can be adjusted to accommodate more sensitive skin types. A thorough consultation ensures that the treatment approach is appropriate for your skin’s specific needs.

What are the risks or side effects of MOXI?

MOXI is considered a low-risk treatment when performed by experienced medical providers, but as with any laser procedure, there are potential side effects. These may include temporary redness, swelling, dryness, or sensitivity. In rare cases, patients may experience prolonged irritation or changes in pigmentation. Proper evaluation, technique, and post-treatment care are essential to minimizing risk.

Can MOXI be combined with injectables or other aesthetic treatments?

Yes. MOXI is frequently integrated with treatments such as neuromodulators, dermal fillers, or light-based therapies as part of a comprehensive aesthetic plan. The timing and combination will be carefully coordinated to ensure optimal outcomes.
