Question 1

What is Moxi laser?

Accepted Answer

Moxi is a fractional non-ablative laser from Sciton that resurfaces the skin with 1927nm thulium energy. It treats microscopic zones to renew tone, texture, and clarity while leaving surrounding skin intact. That gentle approach means a comfortable session and short recovery, which makes Moxi a popular first step into laser resurfacing for tone, dullness, and early sun damage.

Question 2

How does Moxi work?

Accepted Answer

Moxi delivers light energy into tiny, controlled treatment zones across your skin. Those zones prompt your skin to clear excess pigment and build fresh, more even tissue over the following days. Because only a fraction of the surface is treated at once, your skin recovers quickly while still getting a real resurfacing benefit. Results build with each session in your series.

Question 3

Does Moxi hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients rate Moxi around a 2 out of 5 for comfort. We apply a numbing cream before we begin, so you typically feel warmth and light prickling rather than pain. Right after, your skin feels warm like a mild sunburn for a few hours. If anything feels uncomfortable during your session, tell your provider and we can adjust.

Question 4

How much does Moxi cost in Powell, Ohio?

Accepted Answer

Moxi starts at $449 per session at The Confidence Lab in Powell. A series of three Moxi Face sessions is sold as a package, and most clients choose a course of three to four treatments for the best results. Your exact price depends on your skin and the plan we set at your consultation. We accept HSA/FSA cards for eligible services, and CareCredit financing is available.

Question 5

How many Moxi sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most clients do a series of three to four Moxi sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart. A series gives the skin time to renew between treatments and lets results build gradually. Your provider recommends the right number for your skin and goals at your consultation, then adjusts if needed as you progress through the plan.

Question 6

What is the downtime after Moxi?

Accepted Answer

Plan for about three to five days of light recovery. Your skin looks flushed for a few hours, then develops a fine, sandpaper-like texture with light flaking as it renews. Most clients return to daily activities right away and simply keep the skin moisturized and protected with sunscreen. Makeup can usually go back on the day after your session.

Question 7

When will I see Moxi results?

Accepted Answer

Many clients notice smoother texture and a brighter, more even tone within one to two weeks of a session. Because Moxi works with your skin's natural renewal, results continue to build over the following weeks and with each treatment in your series. Consistent sun protection and a steady skincare routine help those results show up and last.

Question 8

How long do Moxi results last?

Accepted Answer

Moxi results can last many months, and maintenance keeps them looking fresh. How long depends on your skin, sun exposure, and skincare habits. Most clients schedule one to two maintenance sessions per year and wear daily SPF to protect their investment. Your provider can map out a simple maintenance plan that fits your skin at your visit.

Question 9

Is Moxi safe for darker skin tones?

Accepted Answer

Moxi was designed to be gentle and is a good option across a wide range of skin tones, including deeper complexions that some resurfacing lasers cannot treat as safely. Your provider still reviews your skin and history and sets your energy level accordingly. A consultation is the best way to confirm Moxi is a safe fit for your skin.

Question 10

Moxi vs BBL Hero, which is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Moxi resurfaces tone and texture and softens early sun damage with a few days of flaking. BBL Hero uses broadband light and is strong at targeting visible redness and brown spots with very little downtime. Many clients benefit from both across the year. A consultation lets your provider look at your skin and recommend the best fit or combination.

Question 11

Moxi vs microneedling, what is the difference?

Accepted Answer

Moxi uses laser energy to resurface the surface and even out tone, while microneedling uses fine needles to build collagen deeper in the skin for texture, pores, and acne scars. They address overlapping concerns in different ways, and some clients alternate them. Your provider can help you decide which to start with based on your main goals.

Question 12

Can I wear makeup after Moxi?

Accepted Answer

We ask you to skip makeup for the rest of treatment day so your skin can settle. Most clients can return to makeup the following day, once any flushing has calmed. Keep the skin clean, moisturized, and protected with sunscreen while it renews over the next few days. Your provider gives you a simple aftercare plan before you leave.

Question 13

What should I avoid after Moxi?

Accepted Answer

For a few days, avoid direct sun, hot yoga, saunas, swimming pools, and heavy sweating, and pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, and scrubs. Do not pick at the flaking skin; let it shed on its own. Daily sunscreen is essential while your skin renews. Your provider gives you a full aftercare list tailored to your treatment at your appointment.

Question 14

Is Moxi safe?

Accepted Answer

Moxi is an FDA-cleared fractional laser with a strong safety profile when performed by trained providers. The most common effects are temporary redness, warmth, and light flaking. Rare effects like prolonged redness or pigment change are uncommon with proper aftercare and sun protection. We review your history first and set your treatment to your skin, and we are here for any questions during recovery.

Question 15

Who performs Moxi at The Confidence Lab?

Accepted Answer

Moxi at The Confidence Lab is performed by licensed, trained providers. Co-owners Anna Castellanos and Ashley Williamson, both board-certified Family Nurse Practitioners, built our laser protocols and oversee the clinical standards your treatment follows. You are cared for by a provider trained to those standards, with the same skin-first approach at every visit.

Question 16

Can I combine Moxi with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Moxi pairs well with several of our services depending on your goals and timing. Some clients add BBL Hero, microneedling, or a customized facial across the year, and we can plan spacing so your skin recovers between treatments. Your provider builds a combined plan at your consultation so the treatments complement each other rather than overlap.

Question 17

How do I book Moxi?

Accepted Answer

Book your Moxi visit online any time, or call (614) 219-9983 and we'll set it up with you. Before any treatment, your provider assesses your skin, answers your questions and sets your plan and price. Still deciding? Start with our free Laser Skin Guide or the treatment quiz.
