Moxi
Post Treatment Information
- Redness is normal and expected. This can last up to 7 days depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment.
- Pinpoint bleeding may occur and may last up to 12 hours.
- Immediately after treatment, swelling is common and normal. Use of a cold compress or ice packs help. Avene Thermal water may be used as well. Sleep in an elevated position for the first night or two. The morning after treatment, swelling is more prevalent especially around the eyes. Swelling may persist 2- 4 days.
- You may feel very warm for the first 24 hours.
- Two to three days after treatment, you will notice tiny dark spots and a bronzed appearance to the skin. Your skin will be very dry and have a sandpaper texture and may flake and peel as fresh new skin is regenerated. The face can take 5-7 days and the body up to 2 weeks for this process to be complete.
- After peeling/sloughing is complete, your skin will have a rosy glow that will gradually resolve.
- Any discomfort can be alleviated with over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
- Itching is a normal part of the healing process. Benadryl may help, but can cause drowsiness. Do NOT pick or scratch the treated area.
- 2 hours after Moxi, you may apply moisturizer. Do not cleanse your skin the night of the procedure.
- You may apply make-up 24 hours after Moxi, but please ensure that make-up brushes are clean or new.
