MOXI in Funchal
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser used to improve the appearance of skin tone and texture, including superficial changes associated with sun exposure. It may form part of care for early signs of ageing or to maintain skin quality.
At Fisioclinic in Funchal, a FisioSkin assessment helps determine whether this approach suits your needs and the time you can set aside for recovery.
What makes MOXI different
The 1927 nm laser delivers energy to small treatment zones. Its action is non-ablative: it does not remove the skin's surface through vaporisation.
This differs from BBL pulsed light and lasers that combine ablative and non-ablative action, such as HALO. The choice depends on the concerns being treated, rather than simply the desired intensity.
What to expect before and after
- Tell the team about recent sun exposure, medication and the products you use.
- The team will determine the appropriate preparation and comfort measures.
- Afterwards, temporary redness, dryness, rough texture and peeling may occur.
- Follow the instructions for cleansing, moisturising and sun protection, without trying to speed up peeling.
Frequently asked questions
Is MOXI a skin-cleansing treatment?
No. It is a laser treatment that creates small areas of thermal action in the skin. Its mechanism differs from the cleansing, extraction and hydration provided by Hydrafacial.
Is MOXI suitable for deep scars?
MOXI is mainly used for more superficial changes in tone and texture. Deep scars or other more pronounced concerns may require a different approach, selected after assessment.
Can treatment cause discomfort?
You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation during treatment. The need for a topical anaesthetic or other comfort measures depends on the treatment intensity and individual assessment.
Can I use make-up and my skincare products afterwards?
When you can resume make-up, retinoids and exfoliating products depends on your skin's recovery. The team will advise which products are suitable and when you can return to your usual routine.
Can I have treatment at any time of year?
The decision takes account of your skin's condition, recent sun exposure and your ability to follow the aftercare instructions. Tell the team if you have a sunny holiday or outdoor activities planned.
