What Is Moxi BBL?

Moxi BBL is an advanced fractional laser treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and early signs of sun damage with very little downtime. Unlike more intense resurfacing lasers, Moxi works gently across the skin's surface, making it approachable for a wide range of skin tones and suitable for regular, ongoing maintenance. While every patient has their own motivations for seeking treatment, many come to us to achieve the following: 

  • Reduce dullness and uneven pigmentation 
  • Improve texture irregularities 
  • Refresh the skin without downtime
  • Address early damage before it becomes more pronounced

The PSAV Difference

When you choose Plastic Surgery Associates of Valdosta for Moxi BBL, you choose a team grounded in clinical precision and patient safety. Our all-female team performs every treatment in our state-licensed, Medicare-certified, and QUAD A-accredited facility under the oversight of our founder, Dr. Sonya Merriman.

Dr. Merriman is a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 30 years of experience in aesthetic medicine. Reflecting her commitment to patient safety, our aestheticians performing Moxi BBL treatments are fully licensed, certified laser practitioners trained specifically on this technology, not general staff operating equipment outside their expertise.

What to Expect From Your Moxi BBL Treatment in Valdosta, GA

Preparing for Your Treatment

Your Moxi BBL journey will begin with a one-on-one consultation with a licensed aesthetician at our Valdosta practice. There, your aesthetician will review your skincare routine and medical history to confirm you're a good candidate. They’ll provide you with a personalized preparation routine for the week leading up to your treatment, which may include avoiding excessive sun exposure and skincare ingredients that increase sensitivity. 

The Treatment Experience

During your Moxi treatment, your aesthetician will pass a handheld laser device over your chosen treatment area in consistent, smooth motions, delivering controlled energy to the skin's surface. Most sessions take about 30 minutes to complete. You may feel mild warmth or a light prickling sensation, but discomfort is generally minimal. We can apply a topical numbing cream to your skin to further reduce the likelihood of pain or discomfort.

Addressing Your Exact Concerns

Moxi BBL is one of the most versatile treatments in our toolbox, and can be used to target the following concerns: 

  • Hyperpigmentation, including sun spots
  • Acne scars
  • Mild texture irregularities
  • Overall dullness
  • Early signs of aging 

Because Moxi BBL is a more gentle laser, it can be used on a broader range of skin tones than many traditional resurfacing lasers.

Designing Your Custom Session

Many of our patients in Tifton, Waycross, Albany, and Valdosta pair Moxi BBL with other services, such as injectables or additional laser treatments, for a more complete rejuvenation plan. Your aesthetician will assess your skin type, tone, and quality, as well as your aesthetic goals, to determine the right combination and sequence of treatments.

Having never been to a plastic surgeon before, I had no idea what to expect. I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the treatment I received. I was made to feel comfortable the minute I walked in the door. The staff was unbelievable, and Dr. Merriman was fantastic. I was made to feel as if I had known them my entire life. The reason I give a 5-star rating is because I don't see a 10-star rating. lol. Thank you, ladies, so much for the service you provide and the manner in which you provide care.

Honestly can not say enough good things about this office. The entire staff is welcoming & warm. I never feel self-conscious about anything, nor have I ever been made to feel afraid about asking questions. I literally drive 1.5 hours from home to see Pam, Ashli & Melanie for all my treatments. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!

Highly recommend Mrs. Sonya Merriman’s office. I had my breast augmentation done a couple of days ago, and I couldn’t ask for a better experience than the one I had! Everyone in the office is absolutely fantastic, definitely feel like family once you leave. Liz was great at going over everything with me before my consultation. Dr. Sonya came in and talked to me for a good 20 minutes and explained to me the different implants, what she would do, etc., asked for her opinion on my size, and I felt completely comfortable!! Kelley was my nurse, and she was great!! She helped answer any questions my husband and I had before I went back. Also, Dr. Sonya’s husband was the anesthesiologist and was so kind! He’s the last person I remember talking to before I was out, haha. I love how they call and check on you after your surgery, and if there is anything you may need. My recovery so far has been absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have done without their support and instructions on what to do after surgery. I highly recommend their office for everything ❤️ definitely will be back!

I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to get my procedure done with Dr. Merriman. I had breast augmentation six months ago (lift and implants). Initially, I felt apprehensive about the process. Fear of the unknown, I suppose. But at Valdosta Plastic Surgery, the process was laid out step-by-step. Everyone was kind, helpful, and made sure I received answers to any questions I may have. From the start, there were no surprises about costs or timelines. That was laid out nicely for me in the initial callback I received in response to my online consultation request. Dr. Merriman was sure to tell me about the risks and took the time during the initial office consultation to listen/look at my desired outcome. Again and again, I was reminded that if I had any questions, then I could reach out to Dr. Merriman directly after the surgery. They made me feel so comfortable that I reached out two times to ask a question. I received immediate responses. In the end, recovery was a piece of cake. Though Dr. Merriman will tell you that it is different for everyone. I thought the instructions I received for managing the recovery were spot on. It has now been 6 months since the surgery, and the outcome is better than everything I had hoped for. They are symmetrical, even, I have feelings in both nipples, and the size is exactly what I had hoped for. Interestingly, she used one size bigger than what was initially considered. I attribute that to Dr. Merriman's keen eye for aesthetics and high level of experience. She had seen what outcome I had envisioned, and during surgery, she fit me with the right size to achieve the look that I was hoping for. I am so glad that I decided on Valdosta Plastic Surgery. I highly recommend their office. I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to get my procedure done with Dr. Merriman.

Baylee is amazing and very thorough with her work. I couldn’t have asked for a better aesthetician. And Mrs. Carolyn is such a sweetheart, always makes me feel welcomed & comfortable as soon as I walk in those doors. (The entire staff here makes you feel safe.)

Transforming Your Skin From the Inside Out

Results from Moxi BBL build gradually, with your skin appearing brighter and smoother as the treated layer sheds over about a week. A series of treatments, often spaced several weeks apart, produces the most noticeable improvement in tone and texture. Many patients incorporate Moxi BBL into an ongoing maintenance routine to preserve their results long term.

Moxi BBL Frequently Asked Questions

How many Moxi BBL treatments will I need?

Most patients achieve their best results with a series of three to four Moxi BBL treatments spaced approximately four weeks apart. Your aesthetician will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

Is Moxi BBL safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Moxi BBL is designed to be gentler than many traditional laser resurfacing treatments, making it a suitable option for many patients with sensitive skin. During your consultation, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin to determine whether Moxi BBL is the right treatment for you.

Can Moxi BBL be used on areas beyond the face?

Yes. Moxi BBL can be used to treat the neck, chest, hands, and other areas affected by sun damage, uneven pigmentation, or skin texture concerns. Your treatment plan will be customized to address the areas you would like to improve.

What is the ideal time of year for Moxi treatments?

Moxi treatments can be performed throughout the year, but many patients choose to schedule them during the fall or winter when sun exposure is naturally reduced. Minimizing sun exposure during the healing process helps protect your skin and optimize your results.
