While both offer gold-standard results, HALO and MOXI differ in various ways. MOXI is safe for all skin tones, takes less than 10 minutes to perform, has short downtime, and is recommended in a series of 3 treatments.

MOXI is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. You may experience some redness or mild swelling immediately following the procedure, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Some patients may also experience slight flaking or peeling within a few days.
Results from MOXI laser treatment can last for several months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare regimen. To maintain optimal results, periodic treatments are recommended.
