MOXI & BBL Laser Treatments
For concerns like melasma, rosacea, and sun spot removal, MOXI laser and BBL Photofacial treatments offer targeted, effective correction without aggressive downtime. Trusted by clients across Grand Forks, ND, each treatment is tailored to gently correct tone and restore balance.
BBL Photofacial
BBL Photofacial is best for clients dealing with visible redness, rosacea, or brown
spots they regularly try to cover with makeup.
WHAT IT TREATS
SUN SPOTS, BROWN SPOTS
REDNESS
VISIBLE CAPILLARIES
ROSACEA, FLUSHING
HOW IT WORKS
BBL (BroadBand Light) uses light to gently heat the skin, breaking up brown pigment
so it flakes off over time, while closing tiny capillaries to reduce facial redness.
DOWNTINE
Minimal. Expect darkening of pigment for 3–5 days.
MOXI Laser Treatment
The MOXI Laser is best for clients who want to smooth and brighten their skin with minimal downtime, especially those managing melasma or early signs of aging.
WHAT IT TREATS
MELASMA
UNEVEN SKIN TONE
ROUGH TEXTURE
EARLY SIGNS OF AGING
ENLARGED PORES
HOW IT WORKS
MOXI gently exfoliates the skin’s surface, sloughing off dull, damaged cells to smooth
skin texture and provide a more even glow.
DOWNTIME
Minimal. Expect mild redness and rough sandpaper texture for 3-5 days.
MOXI + BBL Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MOXI laser compare to BBL?
- MOXI and BBL treat different skin concerns in complementary ways. MOXI is best for improving texture, tone, and early signs of aging. It works by gently resurfacing the skin, making it ideal for melasma, dullness, and enlarged pores.
- BBL is better suited for visible pigment, like brown spots and redness from rosacea or broken capillaries.
- Many clients benefit most from combining both.
What is the recovery process like?
- Both MOXI and BBL involve minimal downtime, but some visible skin changes are normal in the days following treatment.
- Most clients feel confident going about their usual routines within 24 hours, especially with light makeup coverage, if desired.
- Immediately after: Skin may feel warm and appear pink, like a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within 24 hours.
- Days 1-3: You may notice mild dryness, a sandpaper texture, or dark speckling (called “MENDS”) as treated pigment rises to the surface. This is more noticeable with MOXI and usually subtle enough not to interrupt daily life.
- Days 3-5: Skin begins to slough naturally. You can return to makeup, exercise, and normal skincare if skin is no longer sensitive.
- By Day 7: Most clients feel fully healed, with visibly clearer, more even-toned skin.
- Stay hydrated, wear SPF diligently, and avoid sun exposure during healing to maintain your results.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
- It depends on the treatment and your concerns:
- With BBL, many clients see visible improvement after just 1-2 sessions, especially for redness and brown spots. However, a series of 3 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, is typically recommended for more lasting results or chronic conditions like rosacea.
- With MOXI, we recommend a series of 3 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart when treating texture, tone, and melasma. Maintenance sessions can be done 1-2 times per year.
- When combining MOXI and BBL, most clients begin with a series of 2-3 sessions, then shift to seasonal or annual maintenance based on their skin goals.
What is the best treatment for melasma?
The MOXI laser is widely considered one of the safest and most effective options for melasma on the face. Unlike some lasers, MOXI is gentle enough to reduce pigment and treat melasma-prone skin without triggering flare-ups. We typically recommend a series of 3-4 treatments to completely lighten melasma brown patches.
What is the best laser treatment for rosacea?
BBL is one of the most effective laser treatments for rosacea. It uses light energy to target and constrict visible blood vessels just beneath the skin’s surface, which helps reduce redness, flushing, and broken capillaries over time. Most clients see meaningful improvements after a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced about 3–4 weeks apart. Regular maintenance sessions are often recommended to keep redness under control.
Can laser treatments remove sun spots?
Yes. BBL Photofacial is one of the most effective treatments for lifting brown sun spots. By gently heating the skin, the light energy breaks up clusters of pigment and pulls it to the surface, where it flakes off naturally in the days following treatment.
