MOXI™ Laser by Sciton
What Is the MOXI® Laser?
The MOXI™ Laser by Sciton is a gentle, non-ablative laser treatment offered at Coachlight in West Des Moines and Ankeny, Iowa, where treatments are performed by skilled, medically guided providers focused on safe, natural skin rejuvenation. MOXI is designed to address early signs of sun damage and aging while supporting long-term skin health.
Often referred to as a “prejuvenation” laser, MOXI is ideal for patients who want to maintain youthful, radiant skin before deeper wrinkles and discoloration develop. This advanced anti-aging laser delivers controlled fractional energy beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and accelerate natural cell turnover.
The result is brighter, smoother skin with improved tone and texture—without removing the outer layer of skin. Because MOXI is non-ablative, it is safe for all skin types and can be performed year-round.
MOXI treatments are especially popular among patients with busy lifestyles. Sessions are quick, comfortable, and require little to no downtime, making this an easy “lunchtime” laser treatment that fits seamlessly into daily routines.

What MOXI Laser Treats
MOXI is known for treating multiple skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture, melasma, and more.
Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Effective for addressing sun spots, freckles, brown, and red pigments on the skin, helping to improve overall skin clarity and radiance.
Uneven Skin Tone
Treatment results can provide a revitalized look with more balance by reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, sun spots, and melasma.
Texture, Fine Lines & Wrinkles
By inducing your skin’s natural healing process, MOXI promotes collagen production in the treatment areas to reduce the appearance of rough or uneven texture.
How Does Moxi Work?
During a MOXI laser treatment session, the laser is used to deliver precise energy into the skin. The melanin pigment in the skin absorbs this energy, breaking it down for natural elimination. By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, MOXI Laser treatment enhances the skin’s vitality from within. This addresses various concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and acne scars. The fractional laser technology employed in MOXI Laser enables controlled and targeted treatment for quicker healing and reduced risk of complications.
Benefits of a Moxi Laser Treatment
The MOXI laser treatment offers remarkable results in just one session. It enhances your complexion, improves the texture and tone of your skin, corrects uneven pigmentation, and reduces imperfections caused by sun damage. This quick treatment has little to no downtime and is suitable for all ages and skin types.
Moxi vs. Other Treatments
Unlike other laser treatments, MOXI does not damage the top layer of the skin, resulting in faster healing and less downtime for the patient.
Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before a Moxi Laser Treatment
Before treatment, we will evaluate your desired outcomes and goals for your skin. Based on this assessment, we will create a tailored treatment plan for you. Before starting the treatment, we will initiate a therapeutic skincare plan. As part of this plan, we will instruct you to avoid sun exposure and discontinue the use of certain medications and skincare products. This will help maximize your results and kickstart your journey to achieving radiant and youthful skin.
What To Expect During a Moxi Laser Treatment
To ensure a safe and pain-free experience, one of our highly skilled aestheticians at Coachlight will first apply a topical numbing cream and provide protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. They will then gently pass the laser handpiece over the treatment area, delivering micro-pulses of fractionated laser energy to the skin. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth, and for added comfort, a cold air chiller may be used. The entire treatment usually takes 30 minutes or less, depending on the extent and area being treated.
What To Expect After a Moxi Laser Treatment
After treatment, you may experience some redness, like a mild sunburn, which will subside quickly. Depending on the level of treatment, you may see small micro dots called “mends” where the laser was applied. As the microzones heal, they will darken and feel rough. Between days 3 and 5, the mends will slough off, revealing new skin beneath. It is recommended to wear a moisturizing physical sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight for the first few weeks after treatment. You can wear makeup 24 hours after treatment. We will provide final instructions, answer questions, and go over specific instructions for your post-treatment skincare program.
