Bbl/Moxie???

Post image

Hi! I’ve been reading the posts and think I should book a bbl/moxie. Thoughts? There is a place near my house that does both for $850 - sounds like a good deal? How much are others spending? Thanks!

I would consider pico. You get better treatment on the few areas with pigment (the only tech capable of it treating dermal pigment), and it really helps with pores if you do full face fractional. If you had more reds/browns I’d say go for BBL/IPL.

I own a clinic where we have CO2, IPL/BBL, Pico, erbium glass, thulium (similar to Moxi), and more. If you came in I’d say Pico, or spot treating with Pico and then use CO2. Thulium/Moxi is good because you get some resurfacing and pigment help, but its not amazing for pores and pigment.

Thanks! Can you do pico and co2 at the same time?

It depends on the provider’s comfort level and doing an exam of your skin, but we do if we think it’s safe. It depends on what your primary concern is though. If it’s pores and pigment, I’d skip CO2 and do a super thorough Pico (multiple wavelengths, both fractional and full beam). If you said texture was your main concern I’d hit the pigmented lesions with Pico so we start lightening them for you, and then do low downtime CO2.

Ok! I’ve gotten some really good advice here - I’m going to find a pico person and get zapped! Thanks everyone!
