Pre-Care Instructions:

To ensure optimal results and minimize any risk of irritation or adverse effects, please follow these guidelines prior to your Moxi treatment:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanner) for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.

  • Stop using retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other exfoliating or active ingredients 5–7 days prior.

  • Refrain from waxing or using hair removal creams on the area for at least 1 week before treatment.

  • Disclose any history of cold sores; a prophylactic antiviral may be recommended.

  • Let your provider know if you are taking any medications, especially those that are photosensitizing.

  • Arrive with clean, product-free skin (no makeup, lotion, or SPF).

Post-Care Instructions:

After your Moxi treatment, it’s normal to experience redness, warmth, and a sandpaper-like texture as your skin heals. For best results and comfort:

  • Use Hypochlorous acid spray as directed for the first 24 hours after treatment

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for 7–10 days and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.

  • Gently cleanse your skin twice a day with a mild cleanser and cool water.

  • Use a gentle moisturizer regularly to support healing.

  • Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours or until skin sensitivity subsides.

  • Do not pick, scrub, or exfoliate your skin while it is healing.

  • Avoid heat, sweating, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.

  • Avoid active ingredients (retinol, acids, vitamin C) until skin is fully healed—typically 5–7 days.

Results appear gradually as the skin renews over the next week. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results—your provider will customize this based on your goals.
