The procedure combines two advanced skin treatments \u2013 MOXI, which can be used on all skin tones; and BBL, which treats conditions caused by ageing and sun damage \u2013 to deliver dramatic tonal and textural improvements in a relatively short space of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY 1: THE TREATMENT<\/strong><br \/>\nThe treatment itself takes around an hour, although Liza also provides a very thorough consultation beforehand in which she explains exactly what to expect from the procedure.<br \/>\nBefore beginning treatment, Liza applied a numbing cream. Then, she started with BBL, which uses the power of light to target the pigment within the skin. In fact, it\u2019s the fastest way to treat pigment, sun damage and age spots anywhere on the body. This process is a little uncomfortable, but not particularly painful.<br \/>\nNext, MOXI is delivered in the form of fractionated laser energy. This creates micro-coagulation zones which the body then repairs, replacing damaged cells with fresh new ones. MOXI is designed to provide tonal and textural improvements to your face with low downtime, resulting in skin renewal. MOXI is considerably more uncomfortable than BBL \u2013 it stings on sensitive parts of the face \u2013 but the treatment is quick, taking only a few minutes to complete.<\/p>\n<p>For about an hour after treatment, the skin felt warm, like a mild sunburn, and appeared flushed. There was also slight swelling. Liza applied a soothing serum and sunscreen and provided a cooling spray to be used throughout the next few days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY 2: CALMING DOWN<\/strong><br \/>\nBy the next day, the redness had diminished, but the skin still felt slightly sensitive. Tiny dark spots and a rough texture began to form on the treated areas\u2014this is a normal part of the healing process.<\/p>\n<p>The Dermology team provided post-treatment care instructions and products, explaining that it\u2019s important to keep the skin hydrated and to apply sunscreen diligently. It\u2019s also crucial to avoid sun exposure as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY 3-4: SKIN RENEWING<\/strong><br \/>\nAround this time, the skin started to peel slightly as the treated areas began to shed the damaged outer layers. The rough texture gradually gave way to fresh, new skin. By this stage, there was definitely a noticeable improvement in the overall skin tone and a reduction in pigmentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY 5-7: GLOWING RESULTS EMERGE<\/strong><br \/>\nBy the end of the first week, most of the peeling was complete, revealing a brighter, more even complexion. The skin felt smoother, and the initial redness had completely resolved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY 8-14: CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT<\/strong><br \/>\nThe skin continued to improve over the next week, with a noticeable reduction in pigmentation, and an improvement in overall texture. Although it took a while to see the full effects of the treatment, it gradually became clear that BOXI offers a powerful combination of laser therapies for addressing pigmentation and generally achieving a healthier-looking complexion.<\/p>\n<p><strong> The number of treatments required will depend on your personal goals and the level of correction desired. Most patients receive 3-4 corrective MOXI treatments and 1-2 BBL treatments, then often sign up for regular maintenance treatments. The Dermology team can advise you on the best treatment regimen for your needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong> Izulu Office Park, Rey&#8217;s Place, Block A 102, Ballito; 064 803 2300; <a href=\"mailto:ballito@dermology.co.za\">ballito@dermology.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We visited Dermology in Ballito to experience their innovative BOXI treatment, a unique combination of MOXI laser and Broadband Light (BBL) laser therapy designed to combat pigmentation and rejuvenate the skin.
