Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Have you ever wondered, “How does laser skin rejuvenation work?” Laser skin rejuvenation is a facial rejuvenation treatment that involves using a laser to enhance the look of the skin. These non-surgical procedures can repair or improve the skin, addressing a range of issues.

In some ways, laser skin rejuvenation treatments are similar to laser skin resurfacing. Both use specific wavelengths of focused light energy to improve the look of the skin by initiating collagen production in specialized cells, but resurfacing tends to impact the surface more by removing tissue, while rejuvenation works deeper below as energy passes through the surface without removing (or ablating) it.

Exposure to a combination of UV rays, blue light, and air pollution cause damage to the skin. The natural aging process can also cause the quality of the skin to deteriorate. Happily, there are ways to boost your skin’s natural radiance—even after it takes a pummeling from the environment.

Younger generations of patients are taking an increasingly proactive approach to warding off or delaying signs of aging, rather than waiting until these have occurred to look for ways to rejuvenate their skin. Prejuvenation is a new anti-aging trend that involves combining a proper skincare routine with non-surgical cosmetic treatments to stimulate collagen production while providing support for the skin barrier. Younger patients—in their mid 20s to early 30s—may look to prevent worsening sunspots, wrinkles, and other types of damage with procedures like laser skin rejuvenation.

Moxi^™ is a laser skin rejuvenation treatment that can quickly revitalize your skin with a gentle, lighter approach or be used as a “prejuvenation” treatment for younger patients who want to keep signs of aging at bay for those who want to give their skin a more evenly toned, flawless look.

If you have been considering laser skin rejuvenation, you may have noticed changes to the appearance of your skin. Our skin is constantly being affected by our indoor and outdoor environments. There are different types of environmental factors or triggers that impact the skin, ranging from ultraviolet (UV) rays to blue light to pollution—and these all cause oxidative damage to the barrier function of the skin. UV radiation is the environmental factor that causes the most significant damage to the skin, as too much unprotected exposure to it can result in damage to the DNA, as well as a breakdown in collagen and elastin.

Another thing many patients want to know is, “What is the best laser for laser skin rejuvenation?” After investigating a range of cosmetic treatment options, we chose Moxi^™ for laser skin rejuvenation. The proven technology from manufacturer Sciton reliably and safely delivers beautiful results. It also serves as a “prejuvenation” treatment for younger women and men who want to maintain their youthful texture and tone, as opposed to correcting cosmetic problems as time goes by. Moxi™ is considered one of the most effective skin rejuvenation treatments of 2024 and beyond.

Unlike ablative resurfacing treatments that remove small points of skin to create channels, laser skin rejuvenation with Moxi^™  does not damage the surface itself.

Instead, the light passes through the outermost layer of skin to be absorbed below the surface. This aspect of laser skin rejuvenation results in a natural healing process that boosts collagen levels, coagulates existing collagen to be more smooth and uniform, and provides other cosmetic benefits.

Who is a good candidate for laser skin rejuvenation? Which patients are best suited for laser skin rejuvenation? The answer to these questions depends on the type of laser skin rejuvenation procedure you are seeking. Virtually anyone could be a suitable candidate for laser skin rejuvenation with Moxi^™. If you are looking for a way of brightening and refreshing your skin, you may be eligible.

Since this type of laser skin rejuvenation technique targets water, it can be safe for all skin types—including darker skin tones—and can treat skin at any time of the year. It can be beneficial for younger patients who are beginning their skin care journey or those who are searching for a light resurfacing or touch-up. Moxi^™  is a highly effective treatment option for sun damage and signs of aging.

Another question you might have is “What are the benefits of Moxi^™?” or “Is laser skin rejuvenation worth it?” We believe these laser skin rejuvenation treatments can be highly beneficial for those seeking ways to enhance their skin tone and texture.

Moxi^™ is designed to treat a range of pigment, tone, and texture irregularities. The technology works on light sun damage and signs of aging, which is why the treatment is referred to as “rejuvenation.”

By gently encouraging healthy processes in the skin, laser skin rejuvenation can also delay the development of visible signs of aging, as well as help to maintain the more youthful-looking skin achieved after a more dramatic laser treatment, such as resurfacing. In other words, the non-ablative light energy can extend the “lifespan” of cosmetic benefits from other technologies.

“How do you prepare for laser skin rejuvenation with Moxi^™?” This may be the next question you have after you have made the decision to schedule a session. So what should you do before laser treatments?

We can explain about before and aftercare in further detail when you meet with us for a consultation. In the meantime, know that before your laser treatment, we will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and discuss your expectations.

For most laser skin rejuvenation treatments, we will recommend that you avoid tanning or heavy sun exposure. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to your skin for several weeks prior to your appointment. We also recommend avoiding deep facial peel procedures such as chemical peels before the laser treatment. Don’t take medications that cause photosensitivity for at least 72 hours before your laser procedure. Let us know if you are prone to getting cold sores or fever blisters around your mouth, as laser treatments can sometimes trigger outbreaks.

How long does skin take to heal from laser skin rejuvenation? How do you take care of your skin after laser treatments? What is the best skincare after laser skin rejuvenation?

These are all factors to consider if you are planning to have laser skin rejuvenation with Moxi^™. As there is no damage to the surface, there is little to no downtime required for healing after a laser skin rejuvenation session with Moxi^™. Patients can resume their everyday activities as soon as they feel comfortable—taking care to protect their treated skin from sun exposure in order to minimize the risk of unwanted side effects. It’s important to follow guidelines and avoid anything that can interfere with healing. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, wear protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts, stay out of the sun during peak hours, and ensure that your new skin is well moisturized after laser treatments.
