Two technologies. One transformative result. If you are looking for a treatment that goes beyond a surface-level refresh, BBL and Moxi laser is the gold standard in skin renewal. By combining two of Sciton’s most advanced technologies in a single session, this pairing addresses pigmentation, texture, redness, and early signs of ageing all at once, with minimal downtime and results that continue to improve over the following weeks.

What Is BBL and Moxi Laser?

BBL and Moxi laser are two distinct treatments from Sciton that target different layers of the skin. Used together, they deliver results that neither can achieve alone.

BBL, which stands for BroadBand Light, is an intense pulsed light treatment that targets the skin’s surface. It uses broad-spectrum light energy to break down pigmentation, reduce redness, and address vascular concerns such as broken capillaries and rosacea. It is fast, comfortable, and requires no downtime for most patients.

Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser that works deeper within the skin. Rather than removing the surface layer, it creates controlled micro-thermal zones that trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and replacing damaged cells with fresh, healthy ones. The result is improved texture, reduced pigmentation irregularities, and a noticeably brighter complexion.

Together, these two devices complement each other perfectly. BBL clears the surface while Moxi rebuilds from within.

What Can They Treat?

BBL and Moxi laser can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Sun spots and age spots
  • Rosacea and facial redness
  • Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing
  • Enlarged pores
  • Dull or tired-looking skin
  • Broken capillaries

Both treatments can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and body, making them among the most versatile skin-renewal options available.

Better Together: Why Combine BBL and Moxi?

Individually, BBL and Moxi are highly effective treatments. Combined, they offer something far more powerful: total skin renewal at every layer, completed in a single appointment.

BBL works at the surface, targeting pigmentation, redness, and vascular irregularities. Moxi works more deeply, improving texture, stimulating collagen production, and encouraging long-term skin repair. Because they work on different levels, they do not compete with each other but instead enhance one another’s results.

The combination also means minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness and some dryness for a day or two, and depending on the intensity of the treatments, there is often no need to take time away from work or daily life. BBL and Moxi laser are also suitable for all skin types, including melanin-rich skin, making them among the most inclusive advanced treatments available.

BBL and Moxi Laser: Treatment Journey

Every treatment begins with a full consultation and skin assessment. Your practitioner will discuss your concerns, review your skin history, and create a personalised plan before any treatment begins.

On the day, BBL is performed first. The handpiece is gently moved across the treatment area, delivering pulses of light that target pigmentation and vascular concerns. Most patients find this well-tolerated and describe the sensation as a warm snap on the skin.

Once the BBL portion is complete, your practitioner will apply a numbing cream before beginning the Moxi treatment. The laser handpiece is then passed over the skin, creating the micro-thermal zones that stimulate renewal. The full session takes approximately 60 to 75 minutes.

In the days following treatment, you may notice some redness and a slight sandpaper-like texture as the skin begins to heal. This typically settles within one to two days. Visible improvements in tone and radiance are usually noticeable within seven days, with results continuing to develop over the following weeks.

Aftercare and Recovery

At The Ezra Clinic, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way after your BBL and Moxi laser treatment. Following your session, we recommend keeping these simple aftercare steps in mind to protect your results and help your skin heal comfortably.

  • Sun Protection: Shield your skin from direct sun exposure by applying a high SPF sunscreen daily, wearing protective clothing when outdoors, and avoiding sunbathing until your skin has fully settled.
  • Avoid Heat and Sweating: Give your skin time to recover by avoiding hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 48 hours after your treatment.
  • Avoid Makeup: Allow your skin to breathe and heal by skipping makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment. When you do return to your usual routine, opt for gentle, non-comedogenic products.
  • Avoid Picking or Scrubbing: Resist the urge to pick at or scrub the treated areas. Any flaking or roughness is a natural part of the healing process and will resolve on its own.

If you have any concerns following your treatment, our team is always on hand to help.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

For most patients, a course of three to five treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. Maintenance sessions every three to six months help to preserve your results and keep your skin looking its best throughout the year.

Every skin is different, which is why your practitioner will create a fully personalised treatment plan based on your specific concerns and goals.

Ready for Your Glow-Up?

Clearer, smoother, more radiant skin is closer than you think. Whether you are tackling years of sun damage or simply want to give your skin a reset, BBL and Moxi laser delivers real, lasting results with minimal disruption to your routine.

FAQ

Is BBL and Moxi Laser painful?

Both treatments are well tolerated by most patients. BBL feels like a quick, warm snap on the skin, while Moxi is performed after a numbing cream has been applied, making it comfortable throughout. Some warmth and mild sensitivity are normal in the hours following treatment.

What is the downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness and a slightly rough texture for one to two days after treatment. You can typically return to your normal routine the following day, although it is important to avoid sun exposure and heavy exercise for 48 hours.

Can I wear makeup afterwards?

Yes. Makeup can usually be applied 24 hours after treatment, once the skin has had time to settle. Your practitioner will advise you on the best products to use during the healing period.

Is it suitable for darker skin tones?

Yes. Both BBL and Moxi are safe and effective for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI, when performed by a trained and experienced practitioner using appropriate settings.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes. BBL and Moxi laser can be safely combined with a range of other treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, such as chin filler and cheek filler. Your practitioner will advise on the best treatment plan for your skin during your consultation.
