Advancements in skincare technology have made it easier than ever to achieve smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin without invasive procedures. Among the most popular options today are BBL (BroadBand Light) and Moxi laser treatments. Both are designed to rejuvenate the skin, improve tone and texture, and address signs of aging—but they work in different ways and can even complement each other for enhanced results.

BBL, or BroadBand Light therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. It works by delivering light energy into the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and encouraging collagen production.
BBL is often used on the face, neck, chest, and hands—areas most exposed to the sun. Many patients notice visible improvements after just one session, though a series of treatments provides the best long-term results.
Moxi is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser designed to refresh and revitalize the skin. It creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural repair process and promoting new collagen and elastin production.
Moxi is ideal for those seeking a “prejuvenation” treatment—preventing early signs of aging before they become more noticeable. It’s also a great option for maintaining results between more intensive procedures.
When used together, BBL and Moxi create a powerful synergy. BBL targets discoloration and redness at the skin’s surface, while Moxi works deeper to improve texture and stimulate collagen. This combination delivers comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing multiple skin concerns in one treatment plan.
Many clinics offer combination sessions or alternating treatments to maximize results while keeping downtime minimal.
Both BBL and Moxi treatments are quick, typically lasting 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated. A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. After treatment, mild redness or warmth is common and usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
Post-treatment care includes:
Results gradually appear over several days to weeks as the skin renews itself, revealing a clearer, more radiant complexion.
BBL and Moxi treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages. They are ideal for individuals looking to:
Consultation with a qualified skincare professional ensures the right treatment plan based on individual skin goals and conditions.
