What Does BBL/Moxi Do?
I am finally finished with my 3 series combo of BBL and Moxi at Levy Dermatology, and I’m so excited to share the results with y’all! I started last October and finished up this February. My first appointment was in October, my second appointment was in January, and my last appointment was the end of February. BBL (BroadBand Light) reduces redness, age spots and pigmentation. It is especially great at helping to get red of blood vessels and redness. Moxi laser targets fine lines, texture and sun damage for a smoother, refreshed look. It is really great at targeting brown spots and pigmentation issues. Together, this duo delivers really great results that speak for themselves.
What Can You Expect During & After the Procedure?
They start with BBL first, and it goes pretty quickly. It is not painful in my opinion, and it feels like light and quick rubber band pops to my skin. It was definitely quick and very tolerable for me. Once we got to Moxi, they numbed my skin with a numbing cream. After it sat for 10 minutes on my skin, we got started. I had to wear goggles for both lasers, and moxi felt like a quick prickling of my skin. It made a zapping noise that would startle me everything. I would say that quick zap noise was more startling than how it felt. It didn’t hurt with the numbing cream, and after it was over, my skin just felt warm like I had a sunburn. It was tolerable to me, and there was no pain. Just an overall feeling of sunburned skin for that day. On my second and third treatment, my face really swelled a lot, especially around my eyes, on my cheeks and on my nose. I definitely couldn’t leave the house much for a few days because it was so swollen. Benadryl and Zyrtec helped with the swelling. But again, there was no pain. Individual results can vary, but overall I was happy with the procedures as far as the downtime was short and there was no pain during or after the procedure. There was just lots of swelling a couple days later, but it went down after a few days.
What Are the Results?
You can really see the results of the procedures 2 weeks later. I notice a lot less of the vascular redness I had before on my cheeks and nose. On my cheeks I also notice a lot less brown spots. Even some spots I had for long that I thought they were just freckles are lighter now. I had thought I was stuck with these spots forever, but I noticed so much difference just after 2 treatments. I also feel like my skin and complexion is lighter overall (probably from less brown and reds in my skintone.) I am so happy with the results! This fall I will either do this combo again, or I will get halo laser done. Have you ever had BBL and Moxi done? What are your favorite lasers?
