MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser by Sciton that refreshes tone, texture, and early sun damage with little downtime. It works year-round and across all skin types, which makes it a practical choice for busy patients who want clearer, brighter skin without a long recovery. Dr. Davis, a board eligible female plastic surgeon in Asheville, offers MOXI laser treatments tailored to your skin.
See how this Sciton laser can refresh your complexion on your schedule.
A laser delivers energy; the provider decides how much, where, and for which skin. That judgment is where training shows. Dr. Davis completed a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, and she brings a surgeon’s understanding of skin and healing to every MOXI session, calibrating each treatment to your skin type and concerns rather than running a single fixed setting.
What that means for your treatment:
AAAASF-accredited facility — MOXI performed in an accredited center built for safety and privacy
UT Southwestern training — a nationally recognized residency in aesthetic and skin technique
Alpha Omega Alpha honor society — academic distinction awarded to high-achieving medical graduates
Natural results philosophy — progressive, refreshed skin rather than an overdone look
MOXI uses a 1927 nm non-ablative fractional wavelength that targets water in the skin’s cells. Rather than removing the surface, it delivers energy in tiny columns, creating controlled micro-coagulation zones that prompt the skin’s own repair process. As the treated areas heal, fresh cells replace damaged ones, gradually improving tone, texture, and pigment.
Because MOXI is non-ablative, it preserves the outer skin barrier while stimulating renewal underneath. That is the trade Sciton built into the device: meaningful, progressive improvement with far less recovery than aggressive ablative resurfacing demands. Treatments performed in an AAAASF-accredited facility add a layer of safety to that approach.
MOXI targets uneven pigment and the dullness that builds from sun exposure as excess melanin gathers near the surface. Delivering energy in fractional columns, it prompts the skin to replace pigmented cells with fresh ones, gradually lifting discoloration so the complexion looks clearer and more uniform over a series of sessions.
By prompting cell turnover and collagen activity beneath the surface, MOXI refines rough texture and softens the look of enlarged pores. As the treated layers renew, skin rebuilds a smoother, more even surface that feels softer and looks fresher as it heals.
MOXI is built for early to moderate sun damage and the first fine signs of aging. It suits patients who want to correct existing damage and those using it preventively, a « prejuvenation » approach that maintains skin quality over time rather than serving as a one-time fix.
The non-ablative 1927 nm wavelength targets water rather than pigment, which is why it is designed to be safe across skin types, including deeper tones, when settings are matched to the skin. It can also be performed year-round, fitting easily into real life without seasonal restrictions.
Good candidates are adults with early to moderate tone, texture, or pigment concerns who want visible improvement with little downtime and realistic expectations about a gradual, series-based result. A consultation confirms candidacy.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Active skin infections, certain medications, and recent sun exposure can affect timing, which Dr. Davis reviews at consultation.
A MOXI treatment is a short in-office laser session, not a surgical procedure. Most visits run 30 to 45 minutes including preparation.
MOXI involves little downtime, though your skin will show that it has been treated for a few days. Most people return to daily routines quickly with sun protection in place.
Skin feels warm and looks flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. Keep skin clean, hydrated, and out of direct sun.
Tiny darkened specks, called MENDs, surface as treated cells work their way out, giving a temporary sandpaper texture. This is expected and part of the renewal.
The specks slough away within several days to reveal fresher skin. Tone and texture continue improving over the following weeks, and a series of sessions builds the fullest result. Individual results vary with skin type and concern.
Dr. Davis treats skin the way she treats surgery: assess carefully, calibrate to the individual, and aim for a result that looks like healthy skin rather than a procedure. MOXI fits patients who want steady, believable improvement and a treatment that respects their schedule.
For Asheville and western North Carolina patients considering MOXI, that means a board eligible plastic surgeon, an AAAASF-accredited facility, and a plan matched to your skin instead of a one-size setting. MOXI is one option within Dr. Davis’s broader laser skin resurfacing offerings.
MOXI cost depends on the treatment area and how many sessions your plan includes, since results build across a series. Dr. Davis provides a personalized quote during your consultation after assessing your skin and goals, so pricing reflects your plan rather than a flat rate.
Yes. MOXI is frequently planned alongside other treatments to address concerns it does not target on its own. Dr. Davis recommends combinations based on your skin during consultation.
BBL HEROic photofacial uses broadband light to target redness and pigment, and pairs commonly with MOXI for tone plus texture in one plan.
Microneedling stimulates collagen through controlled micro-channels and can complement MOXI’s resurfacing for deeper texture work.
A chemical peel addresses surface tone and clarity and can be sequenced with MOXI as part of a broader skin plan.
Most patients are guided toward a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, since MOXI improves skin progressively rather than in a single session. The exact number depends on your concerns and skin type. Individual results vary, and Dr. Davis outlines a recommended schedule at your consultation.
MOXI’s non-ablative 1927 nm wavelength is designed to be used across skin types, including deeper tones, when settings are matched to the skin. Dr. Davis assesses your skin and tailors energy levels to treat safely. Individual results vary, and a consultation confirms suitability.
