When you want fast, natural-looking results with minimal downtime, a combination of BBL HERO® and MOXI® Prejuvenation can help you achieve your ideal outcome. Here’s a look at each of these treatments, how they work together, and what you can expect.
What Are BBL HERO® and MOXI® Prejuvenation?
BBL HERO® is an advanced Broad Band Light (BBL) treatment that utilizes a laser to deliver ultra-fast pulses of high-energy light to gently heat the outer layers of your skin. This heat is absorbed by chromophobes and stimulates your body’s natural healing mechanisms to treat things like age spots, redness, vascular defects, and acne.
MOXI®, is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen production beneath the skin’s surface. The result of these combined treatments is skin that is visibly clearer, smoother, and more youthful-looking.
Why These Treatments Work So Well Together
While BBL HERO® and MOXI® can be administered individually, they perform even better together. Because they target different layers of skin and aesthetic concerns, they can deliver powerful rejuvenation results. When used as a preventative treatment, they can help slow signs of aging before they fully develop to preserve your skin, tone, texture, and elasticity over time.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
From start to finish, your BBL HERO® and MOXI® prejuvenation session is designed to be comfortable and effective. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
Consultation
Your consultation starts with a personalized skin assessment with Dr. Roche. Dr. Roche will explain the treatment and what to expect afterwards as well. The settings for both BBL HERO® and MOXI® will be customized based on your skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals.
Preparation and Treatment
When you arrive, baseline photos will be taken so you will be able to see the transformation of your skin during future follow up appointments. A very strong compounded numbing cream will be applied for at least 30 minutes. Your skin will then be cleansed. BBL HERO® is typically used first, followed by treatment with the MOXI® laser. During this process, your skin may feel warm, or you may feel a slight tingling sensation. We use a Zimmer chiller that blows cool air on your face for added comfort. The duration of your session can last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Recovery
Immediately after the session, we will apply a cooling mask that contains a special healing solution. Both procedures are generally extremely well-tolerated by patients. Some minor redness and irritation can occur, but these side effects are usually mild and resolve within 24 to 48 hours. You will be given products to use post procedure and instructions of post treatment care. Your skin may also feel slightly rough as dead skin cells are sloughed off, and makeup can be worn in about a day.
Results
Within a few days, you will see your skin start to glow. Then, you will begin to see a gradual improvement in skin tone and texture over the next several weeks. Usually, a series of 3 to 5 treatments over the course of several weeks is recommended for the best results.
Who Can Get BBL HERO® and MOXI®?
Most patients are excellent candidates for both BBL HERO® and MOXI® treatments. They are suitable for patients of all skin types, and ideal for those with:

Whether you’re in your 20s and 30s looking to prejuvenate your skin, or you’re noticing more visible signs of aging in your 40s and beyond and would like rejuvenation, BBL HERO® and MOXI® can be customized by Dr. Roche to meet your skin’s unique needs.
