Aesthetics often segments skincare by age—preventative products for younger patients and corrective treatments for more mature skin. Sometimes, we want a treatment that will stand the test of time and fit our skin and its needs at every stage of life.
The answer is MOXI. This facial rejuvenation treatment in Toledo is your skin’s lifelong ally, supporting a radiant complexion through every decade.
At Blush Aesthetics, our philosophy is simple: You’re gorgeous. Let it shine.
Our skin specialists combine advanced techniques and dedicated, client-centered care to help patients of all ages refine their glow.

What is MOXI?
MOXI is a gentle and non-ablative facial rejuvenation treatment in Toledo that minimizes downtime while refining your skin from the inside out. It addresses unwanted pigment, enlarged pores, and fine lines to “polish” your complexion.
Technically, MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser. In clinical terms, this means that MOXI bypasses the uppermost layer of skin and creates thousands of microscopic “treatment zones” in the skin. As a result, MOXI effectively addresses your skin concerns from the inside out, with no real downtime required.
- Skin Texture: This laser creates controlled thermal damage in the skin, activating your body’s natural healing process to repair the treated tissue. As a result, the body increases production of collagen and elastin—structural proteins that create stronger, tighter skin.
- Skin Tone: Melanin (pigment) in the skin absorbs the laser’s light energy and transforms it into heat, breaking larger groups apart into microscopic particles. These fragments rise to the skin’s surface, sloughing off naturally to even your complexion.
Unlike more intense lasers, MOXI safely treats all skin tones year-round, making it the ultimate “polishing treatment” for consistent skin maintenance.
Benefits of MOXI
While our specialists fully understand our curated range of skin rejuvenation options, we recognize that to many people, lasers appear to offer the same benefits. In reality, each technology serves a distinct purpose.
At Blush, we specifically recommend the MOXI facial rejuvenation treatment in Toledo for patients looking to address these precise aesthetic concerns:
- Uneven skin tone & texture
- Melasma & hyperpigmentation
- Age spots & sun spots
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
While MOXI can provide visible radiance in a single treatment, our specialists find that most patients benefit from an initial series of 3 to 4 treatments, each 4 to 6 weeks apart.
After the initial series, patients can enjoy their results for 3 to 6 months. We recommend maintenance sessions 1 to 2 times per year, depending on your skin’s unique needs, to keep your complexion polished.
See it for yourself
Sometimes, seeing is believing. If you are searching for authentic patient results, look no further. With nearly a decade of service to our patients in Perrysburg and the greater Toledo area, we’ve curated an extensive portfolio of transformations.

Prejuvenating
For patients in their 20s and 30s, we recommend MOXI for “prejuvenation.” This preventative skincare treatment helps delay visible signs of aging by boosting the skin’s collagen and elastin levels.
These structural proteins maintain the skin’s internal structure, minimizing early wrinkles, sagging, and discoloration. Some people call this process “collagen banking”—your skin stores extra collagen and elastin now to use when production declines in your 30s and 40s.
Reversing early aging
For patients in their 30s and 40s, our specialists use MOXI to correct early signs of aging. At this stage of life, collagen and elastin production start to decline, which compromises the skin’s support and emphasizes wrinkles and discoloration.
This facial rejuvenation treatment in Toledo offsets declining structure and support, restoring your skin’s youthful glow. Prioritizing skincare now helps soften wrinkles before they’re etched into your skin.
Protecting longevity
For patients in their 40s and beyond, we prefer MOXI for maximizing longevity. Maturing skin produces the least structural proteins as collagen-producing structures fall dormant. MOXI awakens these cells to maintain your skin’s health and wellness for longer.
Who MOXI isn’t right for
While patients of every age can enjoy the MOXI facial rejuvenation treatment in Toledo, there are some situations where we advise against it.
At Blush, patient comfort and safety always come first. To ensure the highest standard of care, we do not recommend MOXI for patients with the following conditions:
- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Active skin infections, cold sores, cystic acne, or open wounds near the treatment site
- History of keloids or hypertrophic scarring
- Active skin cancers
- Autoimmune disorders, including lupus or scleroderma

The Blush client experience
At Blush Aesthetics, we advocate for self-care. When you visit our location in Perrysburg, we have an extensive collection of skin, body, and wellness treatments—including MOXI—designed to refresh your skin. We believe everyone deserves time for a little self-love, and our customized treatment strategies support you every step of the way.
Consultation
Visiting our office for a consultation before a MOXI facial rejuvenation treatment in Toledo isn’t required, but it is an excellent opportunity to meet our specialists and discover our “vibe.”
During your consultation, a Blush team member discusses your health history, reviews your aesthetic goals, and asks about your current skincare ritual.
Scanning your face with our VISIA skin analysis tool gives a deeper understanding of your skin by uncovering hidden sun damage and signs of aging, which we can start addressing before they become visible.
With all this information, our specialists work with you to create a comprehensive roadmap to get you from where you are to where you want to be. If you’re a candidate for MOXI, we can schedule your appointment.
Pre-care
Yes, we’re giving you homework! To promote optimal results from your MOXI appointment:
- Avoid extensive sun exposure, sunburns, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for 2 weeks before your appointment. While we encourage you to make sun protection a lifelong ally, it is especially necessary for laser treatment to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation or accidental burns.
- Stop using retinoids, tretinoin, or harsh mechanical or chemical exfoliants 1 week before MOXI. These skincare products can damage the skin and hinder the healing process.
Treatment
Our patient care coordinators greets you upon arrival and escorts you to your treatment room. Once you feel comfortable on our treatment beds, they cleanse the targeted skin to remove dirt, oils, makeup, or skincare products that may interfere with MOXI. Then, they apply a topical numbing cream to prep the skin and keep you comfortable.
As your specialist gently glides the MOXI laser across your skin, you may experience a “prickly heat” sensation, which shouldn’t be painful. Our staff talks you through every step of the process and customizes treatment for safe and effective care.
Immediately after your appointment, you may experience minor redness or discomfort, which should subside within the next 24 hours. We recommend applying a cool compress or taking over-the-counter pain relievers to soothe the skin.
Post-care
Protecting your skin after a facial rejuvenation treatment in Toledo keeps it healthy and beautiful. We recommend that patients:
- Avoid harsh or exfoliating skincare products for the next 2 weeks. Instead, use a gentle cleanser and hydrating moisturizer to soothe the skin and maintain hydration levels.
- Avoid saunas, hot tubs, intense exercise, or other high-heat situations for 3 to 5 days after your appointment, as these can increase swelling and inflammation.
- Avoid extensive sun exposure, sunburns, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for 2 weeks after your session. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: We always recommend proper sun protection, but especially after our laser treatments, as the skin is especially sensitive.
Results & downtime
Dark spots may appear to darken 1 to 3 days after your MOXI session as pigment particles rise to the skin’s surface. This is a natural part of the healing process, and it actually means the treatment is working as intended.
Natural shedding or sloughing typically begins 5 to 6 days after treatment and subsides by day 7. Do not pick or scratch at flaking skin, as this can lead to scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Expect to show off smooth, radiant skin starting around 1 week after treatment. While we encourage our guests to return to their everyday schedule when they feel comfortable, your results won’t fully debut until the shedding process is complete.
