Why This Laser Combo Gives Skin the Ultimate Glow-Up 

Some treatments just work better together. Social media and word-of-mouth have shown us that, just like Botox and filler—where one smooths wrinkles and the other restores volume—certain laser treatments complement each other for even better results. One combo getting a lot of buzz is Moxi + BBL Heroic, a powerful pairing that targets pigmentation, redness, texture and collagen production in one session, treating different layers of the skin to get beautiful, glowing results.

Boca Raton, FL plastic surgeon Jason Pozner, MD explains that Moxi and BBL Heroic are a perfect match because they target different aspects of skin health. “They are complementary and address different parts of the skin—BBL is great for pigment and redness and Moxi ‘polishes,’ helping with texture and some pigment as well.”

Naples, FL dermatologist Brandon Kirsch, MD adds, “BBL, in and of itself, is one of the best treatments in all aesthetic medicine. Sciton technology is head and shoulders above other IPLs because of its comfort, speed and way of delivering energy. You actually get more energy at a higher speed with more comfort and safety. None of this stamping—you don’t have gaps or missing overlap. Instead of an old car that bounces around, it’s like riding in a Rolls Royce, smooth and even.”

Who is a Good Candidate?

According to Dr. Pozner, this treatment is ideal for anyone with aging skin who is looking to address pigment, redness, pores and texture issues. “It’s not for patients with deep, etched-in lines.”

BBL works for almost anyone, according to Dr. Kirsch. “BBL is a great treatment because it can help reverse signs of aging and fine lines at almost any age, enhance collagen production and treat redness and dark spots,” he explains. “When you layer on Moxi, it enhances the benefits significantly.”

What to Expect 

“Moxi is a nonablative fractional laser that creates columns of dead skin, while BBL heats the skin, with the pigmented areas heating higher,” says Dr. Pozner. “They hit different layers and work differently, but together, they deliver a superior result.”

After treatment, patients can expect mild redness and a sandpaper-like texture as the skin begins its renewal process. In the days following, tiny dark spots known as MENDS (Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris) may appear—these are part of the natural healing process as micro-injuries from Moxi bring dead skin cells to the surface. As MENDS slough off, they reveal smoother, more even-toned skin, while BBL works to break down pigmentation and boost collagen production.

Low Downtime, Glowing Results

A major advantage of this duo is its minimal downtime. “For most people, Moxi has very low downtime—depending on how you titrate it, it can be one to three days,” says Dr. Kirsch. “BBL is usually just one day. The pigment gets darker initially, turns a little toasty and then peels off. But you’re not swollen or overly red. It’s like you had a dark spot already and now it’s just a darker shade before it sheds.”

With the demand for low-downtime, high-impact treatments on the rise, the Moxi + BBL Heroic combination is becoming a go-to option for those who want noticeable results without extended recovery. “People want treatments that work but don’t take them out of their routine for weeks,” says Dr. Kirsch. “This one delivers.”
