Dermology is proud to have brought the very first MOXI to Africa! We have MOXI in all of our Dermology Branches in South Africa.
MOXI® by Sciton is an advanced non-ablative fractional laser that gently resurfaces and renews the skin, making it a perfect choice for anyone who wants impressive results without lengthy downtime. It’s ideal for first timers to lasers, clients looking to start their skin rejuvenation journey, and those wanting a great pre-rejuvenation (prejuvenation) boost to help slow early signs of ageing while improving tone and texture. MOXI works safely on all skin types — including darker and melanin-rich complexions — when performed by trained professionals.
Fun fact: Dermology was the very first clinic in Africa to offer MOXI laser, bringing this sought-after technology to South African skin well before many others. This specialized treatment has quickly become trusted by clients who want brighter, more evenly toned skin with minimal interruption to their busy lives.
What Is MOXI and How Does It Work?
MOXI uses a 1927 nm non-ablative fractional laser that delivers controlled bursts of energy into the skin’s upper layers without damaging the surface. This creates tiny microthermal zones which stimulate your skin’s natural healing response — boosting collagen and elastin production and encouraging fresh, healthy skin cells to emerge.
Instead of stripping skin aggressively, MOXI works beneath the surface to improve:
-
Texture and tone
-
Fine lines
-
Enlarged pores
-
Pigmentation and sun damage
-
Overall radiance and clarity
Why MOXI Is Perfect for Beginners and Ongoing Maintenance
Many clients choose MOXI as:
-
A first laser treatment before progressing to deeper resurfacing options
-
A way to prevent early ageing (sometimes called “prejuvenation”) by keeping skin refreshed over time
-
A year-round option that fits easily into a busy lifestyle
Unlike more aggressive lasers, MOXI typically involves a few hours of mild redness, heat and a slightly sandy skin feel following treatment — however most people return to normal activities quickly.
What to Expect from a MOXI Session
-
Quick and comfortable: Sessions usually take about 10–20 minutes.
-
Minimal downtime: Redness or a light “sandpaper” feel for a few days as the skin renews.
-
Gradual improvement: Collagen stimulation continues over weeks — you often see smoother, brighter skin following treatment.
-
Safe for all skin types: MOXI targets water, not melanin, which helps keep it safe and gentle for deeper skin tones as well.
Many clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, with ongoing maintenance sessions tailored to your goals.
What Concerns Can MOXI Treat?
MOXI can be customized to address a broad range of common skin concerns:
-
Texture + tone irregularities
-
Fine lines and early wrinkles
-
Enlarged pores
-
Sun damage and pigmentation irregularities
-
Early signs of ageing and dullness
It’s particularly loved as a gentle option for those who want noticeable results without significant downtime — perfect for professionals, busy parents, or anyone who wants radiant skin with manageable recovery time.
Cost Comparison — South Africa vs. United States
Laser pricing varies by geography, clinic and treatment level, but a good benchmark helps set expectations:
-
In the United States, MOXI treatments typically range roughly $400 – $900 per session depending on provider and intensity level.
-
In South Africa, MOXI laser treatments at Dermology are exceptionally well-priced in comparison to overseas costs while offering the same world-class technology.
This means clients often receive premium laser care at a fraction of what similar treatments cost abroad, making MOXI laser a smart investment in long-term skin health.
