TL;DR: Yes, and we have the safe laser to prove it. At Lift Clinic Toronto, our Advanced Nurse Injector Lisha Chen, RN explains why MOXI™ Laser can be used safely year-round, even under the summer sun. BBL is paused in summer, but MOXI gives you pigment correction, texture smoothing, and glow without the downtime or risk.
Traditional pigmentation lasers, like BBL HERO™, are not recommended during the sunniest months. Treating active brown spots requires avoiding sun before and after sessions to prevent complications. As Lisha explains:
“With BBL, we do close it off in the summertime, because when we treat brown spots, it’s not a good idea to go out in the sun.”
– Lisha Chen, RN
This means clients must wait until fall to book those powerful treatments, when summer skin woes might already feel deeply ingrained.
Fortunately, MOXI™ Laser is a different kind of treatment, one that works “beneath the surface” to address:
Lisha clarifies its advantage:
“We have an alternative laser called MOXI™ Laser… this treats fine lines, wrinkles, as well as sun damage, and this can be done all year round.”
– Lisha Chen, RN
MOXI™ Laser treatment uses non-ablative fractional technology, creating micro‑injuries deep in the dermis while leaving the top layers intact. This means minimal redness or downtime, and no sun-related contraindications in most cases.
| Step | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Prep | Use daily sunscreen (SPF 30+), avoid tanning, and treat your skin gently for at least 1-2 weeks beforehand. |
| Treatment | MOXI usually takes 30-60 minutes, topical numbing makes it easy while the Sofcool™ cooling effect protects the surface. |
| Recovery | Mild redness or warmth may last a few hours, most clients return to their routine immediately. Expect very minimal flaking or dryness for about 3-5 days. |
| Results | Skin clarity, smoother tone, and soft luminosity often emerge within 1-2 weeks. Maintenance sessions every few months help sustain fresh results. |
Our BBL HERO photofacial is highly effective for deeper pigmentation and redness correction, but it must wait until after summer to ensure safety and better healing. Lisha explains:
“With BBL, we do close it off in the summertime… it’s not a good idea to go out in the sun.”
– Lisha Chen, RN
That’s why we shift to MOXI in summer, then resume BBL once fall arrives and sun exposure decreases.
