Luxurious, Balanced Skin is Within Reach
Uneven tone, texture, and pigmentation are all familiar skin vexations. These can be due to the effects of the sun, past breakouts and acne, and the aging process. If you are looking for a solution to these concerns that is more powerful than a cream or serum but still gentle and non-invasive, our Grand Rapids Sciton Moxi Laser is the solution for you. Used to treat unevenness, sun damage, and wrinkles, it is also considered "pre-juvenation," meaning that it can combat the signs of aging before they ever start by reinvigorating your skin to repair itself.
Sciton Moxi Laser at the Bengtson Center for Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery. The doctors, Aesthetic Experts and Medical Aestheticians at the Bengtson Center for Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery in Grand Rapids, MI, are committed to providing you with the best and most effective technologies and procedures for your aesthetic needs. The Sciton Moxi Laser works beautifully on its own but also produces fantastic results when used alongside other laser technologies. Our goal is to find what will work best for your needs and offer a streamlined experience with brilliant results. Dr. Bengtson and Dr. Alfonso are committed to training, researching, and helping patients achieve their skin revitalization goals.
The Moxi uses a gentle, non-ablative laser to create microscopic channels, or micro-coagulation zones, in the skin to stimulate a collagen reaction, resulting in improved texture and appearance. Your provider can also customize the equipment settings to treat issues that are either closer to the surface or deeper down in the skin.
Improvement in skin tone and texture, along with the reversal of the first glimpses of aging, can be achieved with the Sciton Moxi Laser. You can enjoy your skin feeling smooth and flawless, all with a gentle treatment and no downtime.
Watch as your complexion benefits from:
Since Sciton Moxi Laser treatment is so gentle and effective at resurfacing, it can easily be used in tandem with other procedures like the BBL Hero to achieve a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
While the Moxi and the BBL have some overlap, they each specialize in a different set of skin corrections. Everyone is unique, and everyone has unique complexions. Combining multiple laser skin resurfacing or BBL treatments can open up the options for your ideal result.
This treatment option is an excellent choice for all skin tones. It is also a wonderful maintenance option. If you've had other, more intensive laser treatments, a Moxi treatment can help extend the benefits of other procedures in a gentler, often quicker manner. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active acne, this may not be the ideal treatment for you at this time.
Great candidates for Sciton Moxi laser treatment include almost anyone dealing with:
At your consultation for Sciton Moxi Laser Grand Rapids aestheticians at The Bengtson Center will discuss your skin rejuvenation goals and which laser treatment or combination of lasers may be best for you.
Before your appointment, you will need to use sunscreen and limit sun exposure as much as possible. In addition, you will need to pause the use of sunless tanners and retinol products.
During the procedure, the provider will glide the laser tool across your skin and provide cool airflow to ease any heat or prickling sensations. Numbing cream is typically not used for Moxi treatment, but this can be assessed at the time of treatment. Many patients will begin to see results within 3-5 days.
After the procedure, you will receive specific instructions on skin care and gentle moisturizing creams to use for several days. Avoiding the sun is one of the most important things to adhere to during the healing process.
Results of treatment should begin to appear within a week, with fully realized results at approximately 3 months. To continue the stimulation of collagen, most patients undergo treatment every 3 to 4 months.
Dr. Brad Bengtson, Dr. Alfonso, and the Grand Rapids, MI team, would be thrilled to help guide you through your Sciton Moxi or laser combination treatment from consultation to follow-up.

A very gentle option, Sciton Moxi provides an easily tolerable experience. Some patients describe the sensation as a light sting.
As with most laser skin resurfacing treatments, you can expect some redness immediately after the procedure. In very rare instances, the treatment could trigger a herpes breakout; this can be avoided with a preventative prescription before the procedure.
Right after treatment, you will be instructed to use a light moisturizer for several days, and makeup can usually be used 24 hours afterward.
While the skin is healing, it's best to avoid strenuous exercise. The recommended time frame can vary depending on whether you received a combination of laser treatments.
Many patients find that maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are the most beneficial.
The cost of Sciton Moxi Laser treatments varies depending on the area that's being treated, how many sessions are needed, and if it will be combined with other laser services.
Most laser resurfacing treatments are considered cosmetic and are not covered under medical insurance.
