During the summer, the sun can make its mark on your face. Though harmless, hyperpigmentation can leave you feeling self-conscious about your complexion.
Hyperpigmentation appears when your melanocytes, which produce melanin, get triggered and over-produce that pigment, causing unwanted dark marks to appear on your skin. Forms like melasma, age spots, and even post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation appear most often.
Triggers of hyperpigmentation include inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and sun exposure, among so many others. We offer great options for hyperpigmentation treatment in OKC, so read on to learn more.
Here at Renew Wellness and Aesthetics, we use the gentle yet powerful MOXI laser treatment. The MOXI stands out from other lasers because it improves both skin tone and skin texture. By gently targeting hyperpigmentation at its source, this device also offers clients of all skin tones a noninvasive option with minimal downtime for these concerns.
MOXI Laser Treatment | What to Expect
Consultation
Your MOXI laser treatment journey begins with an initial consultation with one of our skilled providers at Renew Wellness & Aesthetics. During this conversation, we’ll carefully examine your skin and actively listen to your skin health goals to create your personalized treatment plan. We may recommend combining your MOXI treatment with other services, like the BBL HERO laser, chemical peels, microneedling, or medical-grade skincare. At Renew, we also photograph you before your first treatment to show you the progress your skin makes.
Treatment
Before starting your treatment session, you may wonder if treating your hyperpigmentation will be painful. Most patients say that it’s a very tolerable treatment.. We apply a topical numbing solution to your skin 30 minutes before the session starts, ensuring maximum comfort during the treatment.
When your appointment time comes, the process can take 10 to 15 minutes. During treatment, you’ll also feel a warming sensation as the MOXI laser glides across the treatment area to smooth skin texture and minimize hyperpigmentation.
Post-Care
After the treatment, we will provide you with individual instructions to care for your skin as it heals. Especially for the first few days, we strongly encourage you to apply a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF. While your skin is vulnerable, the sun can actually darken your existing hyperpigmentation, and the new skin on the surface is also more prone to sun damage during healing.
