COMBINING BBL HEROic® + MOXI®

BBL HEROic® vs MOXI®

And why combining them is the ultimate skin strategy!

If you’ve been looking into advanced skin treatments, you’ve likely come across BBL and MOXI.

Both deliver impressive results. But they work in very different ways.

And when combined correctly? They create one of the most comprehensive skin treatments available.

BBL vs MOXI - WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

BBL HEROic® and MOXI® go hand in hand - but they work in very different ways.

• BBL HEROic® = light-based treatment. Uses BroadBand Light to target pigment, redness, vascular concerns, and improve overall skin tone, clarity, smoothness, and firmness

  
  

• MOXI® = fractional laser treatment. Uses non-ablative laser energy to create controlled micro-injury, improving texture, fine lines, pores, AND pigment within the skin.

  
  

BBL HEROic® focuses more on colour and skin quality, while MOXI® works deeper on texture & refinement.

Together, they complement each other - treating different layers and functions of the skin for a more complete result.

HOW DO BBL HEROic® AND MOXI® BOTH STIMULATE COLLAGEN + ELASTIN (IN DIFFERENT WAYS?)

Both treatments improve skin quality over time - but they stimulate collagen & elastin in different ways.

BBL HEROic®

BBL HEROic® uses light energy that converts to heat within the skin.

This controlled dermal heating (especially with modes like SKINSMOOTH™ / SkinTyte) stimulates fibroblasts - the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.

This process:

• Encourages gradual collagen remodelling

• Improves skin firmness and elasticity

• Enhances overall skin function & resilience over time

  
  

It’s a gentle, cumulative stimulation, making it ideal for ongoing skin maintenance and early ageing.

MOXI®

MOXI® works by creating controlled micro-injury within the skin.

These microscopic zones of injury trigger a wound-healing response, which includes:

• Collagen production

• Elastin stimulation

• Skin renewal and restructuring

  
  

As the skin repairs, it becomes:

• Smoother

• More refined

• More structurally organised

  
  

This is a more targeted regenerative response, making it particularly effective for texture, fine lines, and early structural changes.

WHY COMBINING THEM WORKS

This is where the real results happen.

By combining BBL HEROic® and MOXI®, we’re treating:

• Colour (pigment + redness)

• Texture (pores + fine lines + surface irregularities)

• Overall skin quality, resilience and structure

  
  

The result is skin that looks:

• Clearer

• Smoother

• More even

• More refined

SHOULD YOU COMBINE - OR CHOOSE ONE?

Choose BBL HEROic® alone if:

• Your main concern is pigment &/or redness

• You have some mild textural concerns that you would like to improve

• You want very minimal downtime

• You would like to treat active mild-moderate acne

  
  

Choose MOXI® alone if:

• Your focus is texture or fine lines + some sun damage/pigment

• You have melasma and require a more controlled approach

• You have a Fitzpatrick 6 (darkest skin tone)

• You want gradual refinement

• You don’t mind a small amount of downtime in the form of redness (day 1 & 2) and a light coffee ground appearance/sandpaper feel due to MENDS (typically 5-7 days at some level)

  
  

Combine both if:

• You want comprehensive skin correction & rejuvenation

• You appreciate the value of a "treatment stack" (combining two modalities in the same appointment & saving money!)

• Your focus is both tone and texture

• You have more intense pigment/sun damage

• You are ready for an intensive solution (without major downtime)

• You can accept 5-7 days of light downtime

• You have finished your courses of Forever Clear to treat acne & now wish to improve other issues including texture/tone refinement, mild to moderate shallow acne scars/discolouration/post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

  
  

THE TAKEAWAY

BBL HEROic® and MOXI® aren’t competing treatments - they’re complementary (for the right person).

Together, they can clear, brighten and refine to elevate your skin - for ultimate bare skin confidence.
