Moxi Non-Ablative Laser

Moxi non-ablative fractional laser at SpaDerma Lincoln Park — the clinic's top-ranked Moxi treatment in the nation. Addresses early sun damage, uneven skin tone, dullness, and fine texture at $650 per session. Non-ablative with minimal downtime; suitable for all skin types including darker tones. Can be performed year-round and is an ideal precursor to Halo or BBL treatments for cumulative skin improvement.

SpaDerma is recognised as the #1 Moxi provider nationwide, and the Lincoln Park clinic brings this distinction to Chicago's North Side with the Moxi non-ablative fractional laser by Sciton. Moxi uses a 1927 nm thulium fiber laser wavelength — a non-ablative fractional wavelength that targets water in skin cells, creating microscopic columns of treated tissue (coagulation zones) scattered across the treatment surface while leaving surrounding skin intact. This fractional approach drives cellular turnover and mild collagen stimulation without breaking the skin surface, resulting in improvement in skin tone, radiance, early sun damage, and fine texture irregularities with significantly less downtime than ablative resurfacing procedures. The 1927 nm wavelength has strong water absorption, which gives it excellent selectivity for the superficial layers of the dermis and epidermis where early photoaging changes accumulate. Moxi is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types and can be performed across all seasons, including summer months when higher-downtime laser procedures are often avoided due to sun exposure concerns. This makes it a particularly versatile annual maintenance option for patients seeking to sustain skin quality improvements year-round. For patients pursuing more advanced correction, Moxi is frequently used as a precursor or complement to Halo or BBL HERO treatments, preparing the skin and layering progressive improvement over time. Sessions take approximately thirty to forty-five minutes including topical numbing, with mild redness and a sandpaper-like skin texture (MENDS — microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) in the treated area over two to three days as the coagulated micro-columns shed, revealing fresher skin beneath. Priced at $650 per session.
