Why Brighton Aesthetics proudly offers the more advanced option.

When it comes to achieving brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin, non-ablative fractional lasers have quickly become the gold standard. Two of the most talked-about treatments in this category are Moxi and LaseMD. Both treatments help improve pigment, skin tone, texture, and early signs of aging — but they are not identical.

At Brighton Aesthetics, we choose technology based on results, safety, and versatility. That’s why we offer LaseMD, the more powerful and customizable of the two options.

Here’s how these popular treatments compare — and why LaseMD stands out.

What Do Moxi and LaseMD Have in Common?

Both Moxi and LaseMD are:

Non-ablative fractional lasers (they treat deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface)
Low-downtime treatments suitable for busy lifestyles
Effective for improving:
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
- Pigmentation
- Rough texture
- Early aging

They both use a 1927 nm thulium wavelength, making them excellent solutions for addressing pigmentation safely and effectively.

But the strength and customization of these devices are where they differ — and where LaseMD has a clear advantage.

What Is Moxi?

A gentle, beginner-friendly laser.

Moxi is often described as a “prejuvenation” laser — a lighter treatment designed for people wanting maintenance, prevention, or subtle improvements.

Benefits of Moxi

Very gentle
Minimal downtime
Good for first-time laser users
Helps brighten dull skin
Suitable for sensitive skin

Limitations

Because Moxi is lower-powered, it often requires multiple sessions to achieve noticeable results — and it may not be enough for deeper pigmentation, significant sun damage, or more advanced aging concerns.

What Is LaseMD?

A more advanced, customizable laser — ideal for deeper rejuvenation.

LaseMD takes everything Moxi does and amplifies it. It uses the same wavelength but delivers significantly more power and precision, allowing our providers to tailor your treatment for your exact skin condition and goals.

Benefits of LaseMD

Noticeably improves pigment and sun damage
Reduces fine lines and texture irregularities
Stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother skin
Allows deeper intensity levels when needed
Works on a wide range of skin types
Can deliver results in fewer sessions

Because LaseMD creates microscopic channels in the skin, we can enhance results by applying medical-grade serums that penetrate deeper for an added boost in skin repair and radiance.

Why It’s More Effective

Simply put: LaseMD is more customizable and more powerful, which means it can treat mild concerns just as gently as Moxi or be dialed up for transformative results.

This flexibility makes it the superior choice for clients of all ages and skin conditions.
