Moxi Laser in Seoul

Moxi Laser explained

Moxi is a light fractional laser made by Sciton, the maker of Halo and BBL. It is designed for early sun damage and skin maintenance. It is less available in Seoul than Korean-made lasers.

How Moxi Laser works

Moxi uses a 1927 nm thulium wavelength to create tiny heated zones in the outer skin without removing the surface. These zones help push out excess pigment and stimulate renewal. Settings can be adjusted from very light to stronger for more visible results.
