Moxi™ + BBL™ Combo: How it Works, Benefits & What to Expect
Combine the collagen-stimulating power of Moxi with the pigment-clearing benefits of BBL. Learn how this dual treatment delivers brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
What is the Moxi + BBL Combo?
The Moxi + BBL Combo pairs two complementary Sciton light-based treatments in one plan. Moxi is a gentle, fractionated 1927 nm resurfacing laser that improves texture and early sun damage. BBL (BBL HERO) is a broadband light treatment that targets red and brown pigment and small vessels. Together, they address tone, texture, pigment, and early signs of aging with less downtime than aggressive resurfacing.
The science in simple terms
FDA Clearance
Sciton’s platforms (Joule family) and their modules including MOXI and BBL have been cleared for multiple dermatologic indications via FDA 510(k) pathways. See Sciton and FDA 510(k) records for device details.
Who it Helps
The Moxi + BBL Combo is popular for patients who want a noticeable lift in skin clarity and texture without a week or more of recovery. It is chosen by people with early to moderate sun damage, patchy pigmentation, visible redness or broken capillaries, uneven texture, and enlarged pores. Many patients use the combo as a maintenance or “prejuvenation” plan to keep skin bright and healthy.
Fast Facts
Treatment Time
30-60 minutes depending on area and whether both devices are used in one visit.
Downtime
Typically 1-7 days. Moxi commonly causes 1-5 days of pinkness or MENDs. BBL can cause mild redness and darkened spots that flake in 3-10 days.
Onset
Tone and clarity often improve in 1-2 weeks as pigment clears and surface turnover begins.
Peak effect
Collagen remodeling and deeper texture improvement appear over 4-12 weeks.
Longevity
Results can last many months. Routine maintenance (often yearly or twice yearly) prolongs benefits.
Best For
Early sun damage, brown spots, freckles, facial redness, visible capillaries, rough texture, enlarged pores.

How Moxi + BBL Works
A helpful analogy:
Think of the combo like first sanding a small wooden table (Moxi) to smooth its surface, then applying a precision stain and seal (BBL) to even the color. The result is smoother texture and more uniform tone without heavy stripping.
Treatment Philosophy
We treat skin, not symptoms. The Moxi + BBL Combo is planned to restore balance across tone and texture while minimizing risk. That means we do not push maximal settings for a single dramatic visit. Instead, we tailor energy, spacing, and adjunctive care so results build naturally over time. We also prioritize sun protection and gentle maintenance to keep gains.
A thoughtful philosophy of care includes:
When approached this way, results look natural and last longer.
