If you’ve always been told to wait until fall or winter for laser treatments, you’re not alone. While many traditional resurfacing lasers require avoiding sun exposure and are best reserved for the cooler months, MOXI® is changing the way we think about laser skincare.
MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser developed by Sciton to improve overall skin quality with minimal downtime. It targets early signs of sun damage, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, enlarged pores, and dullness by creating tiny, microscopic treatment zones beneath the skin’s surface. This stimulates your body’s natural healing response and encourages healthy collagen production, helping reveal brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
One of the reasons MOXI has become such a favorite among providers and patients is that it was specifically designed to be a year-round treatment. Unlike more aggressive laser resurfacing procedures, MOXI is considered safe for all skin types and can often be performed even during the summer months. Many patients are surprised to learn that having a tan doesn’t automatically disqualify them from treatment. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin to determine whether MOXI is appropriate based on your current skin tone and recent sun exposure.
That said, laser treatments and healthy skin always go hand in hand with good sun protection. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF every day, limiting excessive sun exposure before and after treatment, and following your provider’s post-care instructions are essential for achieving the best possible results.
Beyond correcting existing sun damage, MOXI is also an incredible treatment for prevention. Many patients in their 20s and 30s choose MOXI to maintain healthy skin and stimulate collagen before more noticeable signs of aging develop, while others use it to refresh and brighten their complexion throughout the year.
The bottom line? You don’t have to put your skincare goals on hold just because it’s summer. If you’ve been waiting for cooler weather to invest in your skin, it may be time to rethink what’s possible. With the right technology and an experienced provider, glowing, healthy skin doesn’t have to be seasonal—it can be a year-round commitment.
