If you’re considering laser treatments to rejuvenate your skin, you may have come across two popular light resurfacing laser treatment options:
The Clear + Brilliant and the MOXI laser treatments.
While both are effective, there’s a reason why Clear + Brilliant has earned a reputation as being one of the most sought-after laser treatments for glowing and youthful skin.
At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we proudly offer the Clear + Brilliant because of its proven ability to deliver results without any major social downtime.
Not only do our patients love this treatment, but it also wins award year over year by major publications.
The Clear + Brilliant laser, won the Shape Beauty Awards as “The Best in Office Treatment” 2024. “Testers reported that this skin-resurfacing laser treatment, aided by topical numbing cream, is more comfortable than comparable products. Each session lasted about 30 to 45 minutes, with the actual laser treatment taking only 15 to 20 minutes, so it was fairly quick and (relatively) painless.”
In addition, the Clear + Brilliant was awarded the Best Laser for Beginners and Best Laser for Glowy Skin by NewBeauty and the Most Worth It Non-Invasive Laser by RealSelf.
Let’s explore the differences between Clear + Brilliant and MOXI so you can better understand how to select the right treatment for your skin!
What is Clear + Brilliant laser treatment?
Clear + Brilliant is often described as the “baby Fraxel” for good reason. The Clear + Brilliant is a light resurfacing fractional treatment designed to target early signs of aging and is safe for all skin types.
The Clear + Brilliant does this by creating millions of microscopic treatment zones with the laser energy in the upper layers of the skin, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger looking tissue, creating glowing skin with minimal downtime.
Unlike stronger lasers that can require days or even weeks of recovery, the Clear + Brilliant offers a gentler approach while still providing noticeable results.
By creating micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, the Clear + Brilliant stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This results in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, ideal for those who want to prevent aging or refresh their complexion without going through a lengthy recovery process.
What to expect after your Clear + Brilliant treatment:
- Improves signs of aging
- Improves skin tone
- Improves texture
- Reduces sun damage
- Minimizes pores
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduction of redness
- Rebuilds collagen
- Improves melasma
What is the MOXI laser treatment?
MOXI is a a light resurfacing fractional laser treatment designed to prevent and treat early signs of aging and is safe for all skin types.
It’s often considered as more gentle laser option that’s ideal for maintaining healthy skin.
MOXI uses non-ablative laser energy to deliver microscopic laser beams into the skin, creating controlled damage that stimulates collagen production.
What to expect after your Moxi treatment:
- Reduces sun damage
- Reduces melasma
- Improves uneven skin tone
- Improves pigmentation issues
- Improves sun damage
MOXI is a “prejuvenation” treatment for younger patients who want to stay ahead of aging and for those looking to refresh their skin.
Depending on the settings used, it is a low downtime treatment for people with busy schedules or those seeking gradual improvements. However, when the treatment is customized to be more aggressive, it can provide a few days of social downtime.
The Clear and Brilliant laser vs. Moxi:
How the Clear + Brilliant laser and Moxi are the same:
- Both are 1927 wavelengths that target water and not melanin.
- Both are safe for all skin types.
- Both are light resurfacing treatments.
How the Clear + Brilliant and Moxi are different:
- The Clear + Brilliant can be customized to use both the 1927 wavelength and the 1440 wavelength with the Clear + Brilliant complete treatment. By combing both wavelenghts, the Clear + Brilliant can target not just pigment but also textural concerns that Moxi does not such as fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, collagen, and reduction of redness.
- Price: The Moxi retails between $650-$750 and the Clear + Brilliant 1927 handpiece only treatment can range from $350-$450 and the Clear + Brilliant Complete treatment using both wavelengths can range from $550-$600.
The Scientific Differences Between the Clear + Brilliant and the Moxi laser treatment:
Laser Wavelengths:
Clear + Brilliant:
Utilizes a 1440 nm, 1927 nm or both wavelengths depending on the type of Clear + Brilliant treatment being done (either Perméa or Original or a Clear + Brilliant complete treatment using both wavelengths).
The 1440 nm wavelength primarily targets water in the skin’s superficial layers, helping with texture, tone, and light rejuvenation.
The 1927 nm wavelength is more focused on pigmentation issues and treating sun damage or hyperpigmentation in a gentle way.
Moxi:
Operates at a 1927 nm wavelength, similar to the Clear + Brilliant Perméa handpiece.
This wavelength targets water in the skin like the Clear + Brilliant, addressing pigmentation and the early signs of aging.
Laser Energy:
Clear + Brilliant:
5MJ
Moxi:
5MJ – 20 MJ depending on the level selected for the treatment.
The higher the level, the more heat and is a more aggressive treatment that causes more downtime.
Density and Coverage:
Clear + Brilliant:
With 8 passes of the Clear + Brilliant treatment, the coverage or density is 12.6%. If patient can tolerate more passes, the treatment can go up to 19% coverage.
Moxi:
The Moxi is able to go up to 20-30% density for patients that can tolerate a more aggressive treatment with more downtime.
