At Exhibit Medial Aesthetics, we commonly refer to our laser skin resurfacing treatment as “the Moxi BBL laser.” However, this actually includes two treatments we enjoy pairing —the Moxi laser and the BBL light treatment. While both use light, they work completely differently and target different layers of the skin.
In this blog, we’ll focus specifically on explaining the details of the Moxi BBL laser near Mountain Lakes, NJ, and how BBL is actually not a laser.
Laser Vs. Light
While lasers do use light to target specific skin concerns, laser treatments and light treatments have distinct differences in how they affect the skin.
Lasers
Lasers use the heat generated from light to gradually remove the uppermost layer of your skin, also known as the epidermis. This clears away the dead and damaged skin and increases collagen and elastin production to improve scarring, smooth wrinkles, and target other surface-level concerns.
Light
Light treatments, on the other hand, use unique light technology to bypass the epidermis and reach the next layer of your skin—the dermis. It applies gentle heat to cause your body to react as if injured, leading to a natural increase in collagen and elastin production.
These essential proteins help rebuild and strengthen the cellular structure of your skin, improving concerns like skin tone and hyperpigmentation.
Why We Combine Lasers and Light
Lasers and light create a holistic skin treatment that addresses skin concerns both above and below the surface.
Keeping Comfort in Mind
Both treatments prioritize patient comfort. By pairing them, you improve the benefits of the treatments while still minimizing discomfort.
Boosted Collagen & Elastin
Both treatments individually boost your collagen and elastin levels, but together, they multiply the effects for even better results.
No Need For Downtime
Even though you receive 2 treatments in a single appointment, you don’t have to worry about downtime! You can return to your normal schedule immediately after your appointment.
