LASER SKIN RESURFACING
in Fort Wayne, IN
in Fort Wayne, IN
Your skin tells a story, from time spent in the sun to moments of stress or change. These chapters can leave visible imprints like sun damage, facial wrinkles, or uneven texture. When topical skincare isn't enough, laser skin resurfacing offers an effective way to support healthy change beneath the surface.
At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness, we use Sciton’s MOXI and BBL (BroadBand Light) systems to perform advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments tailored to your skin tone and goals. These non-ablative technologies target pigmentation, fine lines, and textural changes by stimulating new collagen fibers and gently resurfacing the outer layer of skin.
Unlike more aggressive ablative lasers or deep laser vaporization techniques, MOXI and BBL deliver visible results with minimal downtime. MOXI and BBL are ideal for treating a wide range of concerns and skin types, including those with darker skin. Our providers design each treatment to address your skin's unique needs, providing a safe, medically guided experience that delivers visible improvements.
Laser skin resurfacing, also known as a laser peel, is a minimally invasive laser procedure that uses focused light energy to address uneven skin tone, facial wrinkles, and sun-related damage. Our non-ablative MOXI and BBL lasers deliver controlled heat into the skin, which penetrates below the surface without harming the surrounding tissue. MOXI uses a fractional laser to create micro-injuries that activate the skin’s healing response, while BBL uses intense pulsed light to gently restore balance across the treatment area.
Laser treatments work by stimulating new collagen production and promoting healthy skin cell turnover. The result is a gradual renewal of the underlying skin, improved tone, and a more radiant complexion, all without the recovery demands of deeper, more aggressive laser resurfacing treatments.
Your laser resurfacing session begins with a full skin evaluation and medical history review. We’ll choose the right laser treatment, whether MOXI, BBL, or both, based on your skin tone, texture, and desired outcome. MOXI is a fractional laser treatment that creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating renewal in the underlying skin without harming the top thin layers. BBL uses concentrated pulsating beams of light to correct pigment, redness, and signs of aging across the treated area.
You may receive a topical anesthetic before MOXI treatments to minimize discomfort. Most people describe the sensation as warm or prickly but tolerable. No numbing is needed for BBL treatments. You’ll feel quick snaps of light energy across the skin, with minimal discomfort and no downtime in most cases.
Following your laser resurfacing treatment, we'll review aftercare guidelines, including using sun protection factor (SPF), gentle products, and avoiding sun exposure for a short period while your skin heals.
Laser skin resurfacing is effective for a wide variety of skin concerns. At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness, we use MOXI and BBL to help improve:
Because MOXI and BBL are less aggressive than ablative lasers, they are safe for use on many skin tones and can be used cautiously even on dark skin when handled by our experienced providers.
Clients love laser skin resurfacing for its ability to deliver real results with minimal recovery time. Whether you’re looking to reduce acne scars, smooth facial wrinkles, or correct sun damage, laser resurfacing is a reliable treatment that works with your skin's natural healing abilities.
Unlike treatments that rely on exfoliating or peeling the outer layer of skin, MOXI and BBL rely on the body’s own healing process, stimulating the formation of new collagen fibers and strengthening the underlying skin from the inside out.
MOXI’s fractional laser gently encourages new skin to replace old, uneven, or dull patches, while BBL helps clear visible pigmentation and improve brightness.
Fewer fine lines and smoother texture
Reduced redness, discoloration, or blotchiness
Gradual tightening in areas of mild skin laxity
A naturally brighter, more even skin tone
Stronger collagen fibers and a visibly healthier glow
Laser skin resurfacing can deliver visible improvements in sun damage, facial wrinkles, irregular skin texture, lingering acne scars, or mild laxity that hasn't responded to topical care. It’s ideal for those looking to gently brighten a dull or blotchy complexion. Because MOXI and BBL use non-ablative lasers, they’re generally well-tolerated across a variety of skin tones, including darker skin, when treatment settings are selected thoughtfully.
You may be a good candidate for laser resurfacing if you’re seeking a lower-downtime approach to rejuvenation. While many people tolerate the procedure well, we may take extra precautions or adjust the timing of your treatment if you’ve had cold sores, are currently experiencing active acne, or have a weakened immune system. As always, your consultation includes a thorough review of your medical history, skin condition, and long-term goals so we can ensure laser resurfacing is right for you.
Recovery from MOXI or BBL depends on the depth of your laser skin resurfacing treatment. Expect mild redness, warmth, or flaking for the first few days, especially after MOXI. We recommend avoiding sun exposure, exfoliants, and makeup during this phase to support the healing process.
We’ll guide you through recovery with reminders to use gentle cleansing products and moisturizers, avoid hot environments or heavy sweating, and apply broad-spectrum sun protection daily.
BBL usually involves no downtime, while MOXI may lead to light roughness or “peppering” in the treated area that resolves as new skin emerges.
You may notice early improvements in clarity and brightness within the first week. However, the deeper benefits of laser resurfacing become apparent over 4–6 weeks as new collagen fibers form.
To maintain your results, we often recommend a series of laser skin resurfacing treatments, followed by maintenance 2–4 times per year. Combined with ongoing skincare and sun protection, your results can last and evolve with you.
At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness, laser resurfacing is about more than technology. It’s about the person behind your care. As a physician-led practice, we offer a rare blend of technical precision, thoughtful pacing, and compassion. That means your laser plan is crafted not just for your skin, but for your lifestyle, your season, and your story.
Whether you're addressing acne scars, reversing signs of sun damage, or simply seeking an overall reset, our approach to laser skin resurfacing is gentle, strategic, and beautifully personalized.
MOXI can cause light discomfort, but we use a topical numbing cream to ease the process. BBL treatments are quick and generally well tolerated without numbing.
For most concerns, we recommend a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Regular maintenance sessions, every few months, can help preserve your results.
MOXI is a gentle laser that improves texture and early pigment. BBL is a broad-spectrum light treatment that targets red and brown discoloration. They work beautifully individually or in combination.
Yes, but we’ll recommend avoiding sun exposure before and after your treatment. For this reason, some people prefer to have MOXI and BBL treatments in the fall and winter when UV exposure is lower.
Yes, when performed by experienced providers, both MOXI and BBL can be used safely across a wide range of skin tones.
The results of laser treatments can last several months with proper skincare and sun protection. Ongoing maintenance enhances and extends your outcome.
With MOXI, you may experience light flaking or a sandpaper-like texture for 3–5 days. BBL has little to no peeling but may cause pigment to temporarily darken before fading.
Yes. MOXI and BBL pair well with other treatments like PRF, microneedling, chemical peels, Botox, or dermal fillers. We'll help you plan and sequence treatments for optimal results.
Most clients resume normal activities within a day. Some may prefer to wait 1–2 days until redness fades.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after your laser treatment or until any redness subsides before applying makeup. Your aesthetic specialist will provide personalized aftercare guidelines based on the details of your treatment.
