Hello, perfect timing I just purchased a series of three treatments. My beautiful PAC suggested this procedure. She also carries BBL laser but she recommends MOXI for Melasma. I've tried soooo many things out there. I've been successful for several years with a compound cream formula that works great for my skin. I going to do this MOXI procedure in January. Your skin looks flawless had minimal downtime. Melasma is work and maintenance on our part ! Mineral sunscreen, hats and visors and protective clothing. I also get Melasma on my forearm during the summer. Melasma is my. demon. Thank you for posting your video. I feel more confident ❤

I have minor brown spots/melasma and I don't have the patience to deal with creams. I want to just zap it all with a laser. I've done IPL years ago but my friend who works at a med spa said Moxi is newer technology so I'm very interested to try it. One local med spa charges $600 per session and a board certified plastic surgeon charges $800 so I'm deciding if it's worth it to go somewhere a little more trustworthy. This video was very informative - thank you for putting it together!

I hope your first Moxi went well! Right about now, you're probably in that crispy stage! I enjoyed the best skin I've ever had after 3 sessions and ZO Hydroquinone. After I had to taper off the hydroquinone, my melasma quickly returned. I waited the minimum amount of time you need to be off it, and I just started back on. Sadly for me, it's really the combination of lasers AND heavy duty skincare. Hoping to lighten back up to where I was!

This video is a year old and from what I have read melasma is non-curable, so my question is has it returned?
@IvyBoyd6 ай бұрын
So yes, it did return. I think I know partially why. Prior to and immediately after these moxi sessions, I was a regular user of Grande Cosmetics lash and brow growth serums. They contain a hormone called Prostaglandin that often makes melasma worse, or brings it on entirely. My melasma was about 50% worse after starting those serums. I no longer use them and am getting 1 more Moxi in a few weeks to see how long results last now that I am NOT using those hormone-filled serums!
