MOXI vs HALO: Discover the Best Laser Treatment for Radiant Skin at The Lovely Clinic

MOXI vs HALO: Which Laser Treatment Is Right for You?

As we age, our skin begins to tell a story: sun exposure, environmental damage, and hormonal shifts all contribute to changes in texture and tone. At The Lovely Clinic, in the heart of Beauchamp Place, we offer two of the most sophisticated laser technologies in the aesthetics world: MOXI and HALO.

Both treatments deliver remarkable improvements to skin tone, texture, and luminosity,  but they do so in subtly different ways. Whether you’re seeking glass-like radiance or more advanced resurfacing, this guide explains how these laser treatments work, what makes them unique, and how they can be layered for truly standout results.

 

What Is MOXI Laser Treatment?

MOXI is a fractional, non-ablative 1927nm laser designed for gentle skin renewal with minimal downtime. It delivers controlled thermal energy into the upper layers of the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response to boost collagen and elastin.

One of the most exciting aspects of MOXI is its ability to deliver skin luminosity,  the “glass skin” glow that many patients crave. The 1927nm wavelength is particularly effective at creating light reflection across the skin’s surface, improving tone and texture with a beautiful clarity.

MOXI is ideal for:

    • Early signs of sun damage and pigmentation

    • Melasma (with minimal risk of rebound)

    • Active acne

    • Skin maintenance and “prejuvenation”

  • Patients who want to wear makeup the next day and return to normal life quickly


What Is HALO Laser Treatment?

HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single session. This dual-wavelength approach targets both the skin’s surface and deeper dermal layers simultaneously.

The superficial, non-ablative portion creates a coagulation cap, which speeds up recovery and allows makeup to be worn sooner. Unlike punchier technologies like ProFractional, which leave channels open and exposed, HALO’s hybrid approach means faster healing with fabulous results.

HALO is exceptional for treating:

  • Laxity and uneven texture

  • Sun damage accumulated over time

  • Acne scars and enlarged pores

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Deeper pigmentation

The results can be seen almost immediately, with further improvement over weeks as new collagen is laid down. For many, HALO offers dramatic results with a single session, although two to three sessions are suggested for the best results.

Are MOXI and HALO Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes, both MOXI and HALO are safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (types I-VI).

MOXI is especially popular among patients with darker skin tones due to its non-ablative nature, which reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. HALO’s dual wavelengths can be adjusted to suit different skin types, making it a customisable solution with minimal risk when performed by experienced professionals.

Can You Combine MOXI and HALO?

Yes, and the results can be exceptional.

MOXI and HALO can be performed in the same session or layered over time. The MOXI delivers an immediate skin brightening and ‘glass skin’ effect, while HALO treats deeper laxity and texture for long-term regeneration. The combination gives patients the best of both worlds: surface-level glow and foundational renewal.

 

What Is the Downtime Like?

  • MOXI: Minimal. Mild redness, microdots, and a pink flush may appear for 1 to 2 days. Makeup can be worn within 24 hours.

  • HALO: Moderate. Expect redness and peeling for 3 to 5 days, with full recovery by days 7 to 10. You’ll see noticeable improvement quickly, with collagen regeneration continuing for months.

 

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

  • MOXI: Typically 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, then 2-3 maintenance sessions per year.

  • HALO: One treatment often delivers excellent results. A second treatment may be recommended for improved skin texture or more severe damage. Maintenance is usually once a year.

 

Can MOXI and HALO Be Combined with Other Aesthetic Treatments?

Absolutely. These lasers pair beautifully with:

    • BBL (BroadBand Light)

    • Injectables (for full-face volume restoration)

    • Medical-grade skincare

  • Microneedling, PRP, or Profhilo for hydration

We create bespoke plans that blend technologies for optimal, long-lasting skin health.

What Are the Costs?

  • MOXI pricing: From £795 per session

  • HALO pricing: From £1,995 per session

Pricing varies depending on treatment area and whether treatments are combined or performed individually. A full quote is provided during consultation.
