MOXI vs CoolPeel: Which Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Is Right for You?

Laser skin treatments are booming in popularity. Many people seek them to reduce signs of aging and refresh tired skin. Two favored options are MOXI and CoolPeel. Both use laser technology but work differently—and knowing those differences can help you pick the best fit. 

What Is MOXI Laser Treatment?

MOXI is a non-ablative laser that gently targets the skin’s surface. It uses laser energy to create tiny columns of heat without removing layers of skin. This process stimulates collagen growth, which helps smooth fine lines and even out the skin tone. Since it’s non-ablative, it’s considered much gentler than older laser methods.

What Does MOXI Treat?

MOXI is great for a variety of skincare concerns. It helps reduce pigmentation, early signs of aging, and uneven tone. Fine lines may soften and dark spots fade. Because it’s mild, many skin types can handle it, including those new to laser therapy. Those who want subtle improvements with minimal downtime usually turn to MOXI, as average recovery time is one day; makeup can be worn 24 hours after treatment.

The treatment takes about 30 minutes in total. The sensation is known to be a mild prickling or warming; there’s little discomfort, often just a cooling sensation afterward. It’s also a treatment you can safely enjoy year-round, including during the summer.

Usually, a series of three to four sessions spaced four to five weeks apart gives the best results. Overall, MOXI is designed to fit into busy schedules with minimal recovery time.

What Is CoolPeel Laser Treatment?

CoolPeel is a new twist on traditional CO2 laser treatments. It uses pulsed laser energy that cools the skin as it works. This “cold” mode protects the outermost layer, making the treatment safer for more skin types and less invasive. Unlike older CO2 lasers, CoolPeel focuses on surface-level damage, promoting collagen without deep ablation.

What Does CoolPeel Treat?

CoolPeel tackles deeper skin issues like wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. Areas include face, hands, back and décolleté. It’s perfect for those with more visible signs of aging or significant photo damage. 

This treatment also takes about 30 minutes in total; you can expect redness and swelling. While downtime is usually short, most returning to work and regular activities the next day, clients may experience a sunburn appearance and feel, with skin being dry or rough. Proper skincare and sun protection help improve healing. Like Moxi, CoolPeel is is safe to have done in the summer.

Many schedule one to two sessions for noticeable improvements, though more may be needed, all depending on the overall skin goals.
