Effortless Radiance, Guided by a Surgeon's Eye

At Wingate Plastic Surgery, skin health is part of the bigger picture, not an afterthought. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Wingate, MD, offers MOXI laser treatment because it aligns with our philosophy of natural, cohesive results: real improvement with minimal disruption to your life. Every plan is tailored to your skin, your goals, and your comfort, delivered with the five-star, patient-first care our Chester County practice is known for.

What Is MOXI by Sciton, and How Does It Work?

MOXI is a non-ablative, fractionated 1927 nm laser designed to brighten, smooth, and rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. Because it's "non-ablative," it heats the skin rather than vaporizing its surface, which keeps recovery short and gentle.

The laser delivers energy into thousands of tiny microthermal treatment zones, targeting the water inside your cells. That controlled warmth sparks your body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and accelerating cellular turnover. As described by Cleveland Clinic, this collagen remodeling is what leaves skin firmer, smoother, and more even in tone.

Clinical research supports the approach, too. A peer-reviewed study found the 1927 nm wavelength meaningfully improved pigmentation.

Brighter, more radiant complexion
Smoother, more refined texture
More even tone and softened sun spots
Reduced look of fine lines
Increased collagen for firmer skin
Little to no downtime and quick sessions

FAQs MOXI

How Long Do MOXI Results Typically Last?

Results often hold for several months up to a year, though they aren't permanent because skin keeps aging naturally. Many patients schedule periodic maintenance sessions to preserve their glow over time.

Will I Need More Than One MOXI Session?

Most people achieve the best results after a short series of treatments spaced about a month apart, with the exact number depending on their skin and goals. Dr. Wingate will map out a personalized plan during your consultation.

Can MOXI Treat Areas Beyond the Face?

Yes, MOXI can also address the neck, chest, and hands, which often show early sun damage and uneven tone. Your treatment plan is tailored to the areas you'd most like to refresh.

How Do I Prepare for a MOXI Appointment?

Before your visit, avoid direct sun exposure, self-tanner, and active ingredients like retinoids for several days. Our team provides a full pre-treatment checklist so your skin is ready and your results are optimized.

What Aftercare Does MOXI Involve?

Afterward, keep your skin hydrated, resist picking at the flaking texture, and apply sunscreen diligently to protect the fresh surface. Dr. Wingate's team will recommend which products to use and which to pause while you heal.

When Can I Wear Makeup After Treatment?

Patients are usually advised to wait about 24 hours before applying makeup, giving the skin time to settle first. Our team will confirm the right timing based on your treatment intensity.

Are There Risks or Side Effects to Know About?

MOXI is considered very safe, and mild redness or swelling is expected and typically fades within a day or two. Rare effects, such as temporary pigment changes, are reviewed with you beforehand so you know exactly what to watch for.

Can MOXI Be Paired With BOTOX or Fillers?

In many cases, yes, MOXI can be coordinated with BOTOX or dermal fillers, with the timing planned carefully for safety. Dr. Wingate will sequence each treatment so they complement one another and perform at their best.
