BBL & Moxi: The Ultimate Fall Duo for Reversing Summer Skin Damage

Ah, fall — the season for steamy lattes and pumpkin spice. But more importantly, it’s the perfect time to hit “refresh” on your skin after a summer of sun, heat, and environmental stress. 

At Rick J. Smith, MD, our philosophy is to offer innovative treatments with lasting results. For busy adults, combining BBL (BroadBand Light) and Moxi laser provides a powerful solution with little to no downtime that restores your healthy glow.

What did summer do to your skin?

Long sun-filled days may leave behind more than summer memories, such as:

• Pigmentation and sun spots
• Redness or broken vessels from heat or sunburns
• Rough and uneven texture from UV exposure
• Early fine lines and dullness from collagen breakdown

These issues often surface subtly by fall, and that’s precisely when to do something about them.

Why BBL and Moxi work so well together

BBL and Moxi are two of our most popular skin care regimens. Together, they make a dynamic duo.

BBL = brightening and clearing

It delivers broad-spectrum light to gently heat and break apart sun-induced pigment, freckles, redness, and broken capillaries. It also stimulates collagen, enhancing your skin tone and elasticity. 

Many people notice a brighter complexion,  and these improvements keep improving for weeks after treatment.

Moxi = complexion refinement

This gentle, non-ablative fractional laser creates microscopic “heat zones” in your skin to stimulate collagen and cell turnover. The result is a smoother texture, better tone, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime. 

Together in the same season, BBL and Moxi offer full-scope rejuvenation: BBL handles the overt damage on the skin’s surface, while Moxi works beneath to smooth texture and enhance skin structure. The combination is both efficient and comprehensive.

What to expect with BBL & Moxi in your fall routine

When you book a BBL + Moxi treatment, here’s how it goes:

1. We cleanse and prep your skin, often with a numbing cream for comfort during Moxi.
2. Begin with BBL. You’ll feel a gentle warmth that some people describe as a mild tingling sensation.
3. Follow with Moxi, which feels like warm zaps as it creates tiny collagen-triggering zones.
4. Total session time is about 60-75 minutes.

Post-care is easy. Expect mild redness or warmth lasting a few hours to a day. Use SPF 30+ daily to maintain your results. 

Why fall for treatment?

We adore the BBL/Moxi duo for many reasons, but here’s why we love it especially in the fall:

• Reduced sun exposure means less risk of post-treatment pigmentation changes
• Your skin will look refreshed in time for holiday photos and gatherings
• Treatments now allow enough time for healing and collagen build-up before next summer 

Whether you’re balancing work, family, or just your own self-care goals, BBL and Moxi make a perfect fall pairing.
