Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Years of Texas sun leave brown spots, freckling and patchy tone. MOXI targets that excess pigment so skin reads clearer and more even.
At Chic Derm & Aesthetics, we aim to provide a holistic skin care strategy for your medical and aesthetic dermatological needs.
A gentle, non-ablative laser that clears hyperpigmentation, melasma and sun damage while refining texture and the look of enlarged pores — with far less downtime than traditional resurfacing. Physician-supervised, and appropriate for a wide range of skin tones.
MOXI® is a non-ablative 1927 nm fractional laser by Sciton that resurfaces skin gently — clearing unwanted pigment and refreshing tone and texture without the extended downtime of an ablative laser. It delivers microscopic columns of energy into the skin, prompting your body to shed treated pigment and rebuild fresh, more even tissue over the following days.
The appeal is the trade-off: meaningful improvement in pigment and texture, but you're presentable in days rather than weeks. That makes MOXI a practical option for people who can't disappear for a two-week recovery — and a common starting point for patients new to laser treatment.
At Chic Derm & Aesthetics in Allen, MOXI is performed by Faseeha Raza, PA-C, a board-certified Physician Associate, under the supervision of Dr. Muhammad Raza, MD.
MOXI is most often chosen for pigment and texture — the concerns that make skin look tired, blotchy or rough even when everything else is in good shape.
Years of Texas sun leave brown spots, freckling and patchy tone. MOXI targets that excess pigment so skin reads clearer and more even.
Melasma is stubborn and prone to rebound, so it needs a careful, conservative approach. MOXI can be part of a managed plan — paired with sun protection and topical care.
If your skin feels rough or your pores look more prominent than they used to, MOXI resurfaces the top layers to smooth texture and refine how pores appear.
For skin that simply looks flat or tired, MOXI clears away built-up surface damage to restore brightness and a more even canvas.
MOXI softens the earliest textural lines and supports overall skin quality — often chosen alongside injectables rather than instead of them.
Many patients in their 20s and 30s use MOXI proactively — staying ahead of sun damage rather than correcting it years later.
MOXI treats the face, and can also be used on the neck, décolletage and hands. Individual results vary. Candidacy, expected outcomes and the number of sessions are determined at your consultation.
They're often compared, but they solve different problems. MOXI is a laser that goes after pigment and surface texture; microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen.
Many patients do best with both — MOXI for tone and pigment, microneedling for collagen and scarring. We map the sequence so they complement rather than overload your skin. Read more: MOXI + microneedling: the perfect duo →
Straightforward, well-tolerated, and built around a realistic recovery you can actually plan for.
We review your skin type, pigment history, medications and goals, and confirm MOXI is the right tool — or recommend a better one.
Topical numbing is applied and left to take effect so the treatment stays comfortable.
The handpiece passes over the treatment area. Most patients describe a warm, prickling sensation.
Skin looks flushed and feels warm, similar to a sunburn. Gentle skincare and diligent sun protection.
A fine sandpaper texture develops and light flaking begins as treated pigment sheds. Don't pick — let it run its course.
Skin looks brighter and more even over the following weeks. A series of 3–4 sessions is commonly recommended, then maintenance.
Timelines are typical ranges, not guarantees — recovery and results vary by skin type, the settings used and the concern being treated. Your provider gives you personalized pre- and post-care instructions.
MOXI is priced per treatment, and because a series is usually recommended, packages are commonly the better value. You'll have clear pricing before anything begins.
Priced by the areas treated — face alone, or face with neck, décolletage or hands.
Since most plans call for 3–4 sessions, package pricing typically lowers your per-treatment cost. See the price menu →

MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser used to improve hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, uneven tone, rough texture, the appearance of enlarged pores, dullness and early signs of aging — for patients who want visible resurfacing without the downtime of an ablative laser.
MOXI is designed to be appropriate across a wide range of skin tones, including deeper skin types that often aren't good candidates for more aggressive lasers. Pigment-related risk still varies by individual, so your provider evaluates your skin type, history and medications before recommending treatment.
Many patients start with a series of three to four treatments spaced several weeks apart, then maintain with periodic sessions. The right number depends on how much pigment or texture change you're treating and your goals.
Minimal compared with ablative lasers. Skin usually looks flushed and feels warm for a day or two, then develops a fine sandpaper texture with light flaking for a few days as treated pigment sheds. Most patients resume normal activities right away.
Most patients find it very tolerable — typically a warm, prickling sensation. Topical numbing is applied beforehand, and treatment usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area.
MOXI is priced per treatment, and packages are common since a series is usually recommended. Pricing depends on the areas treated. We give you clear pricing at your consultation, plus membership savings and CareCredit & Cherry financing. Call 469-466-2727.
MOXI is a laser that primarily targets pigment, tone and surface texture — strong for sun damage, melasma and dullness. Microneedling stimulates collagen — strong for acne scarring, fine lines and firmness. They're frequently combined; see MOXI + microneedling.
MOXI is often described as a year-round laser because it's non-ablative and gentler than many resurfacing options. That said, diligent sun protection before and after is essential for any laser targeting pigment, and your provider will give you specific pre- and post-care instructions.
