The Best-Kept Secret in Aesthetics
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and as a team that spends our days helping patients look and feel their absolute best, we want to let you in on something we tell our aesthetic patients all the time: healthy skin and beautiful skin aren’t two different things; they’re the same thing.
Here’s something we love telling my aesthetic patients, because the look on their faces when they realize it is priceless: some of our most popular cosmetic treatments are also doing something powerful for your long-term skin health.
You came to Clear Aesthetics MD for radiance, smoother texture, fewer brown spots, and that lit-from-within glow. And you absolutely get all of that. But what most patients don’t realize is that two of our most-loved laser treatments, Moxi and Helix Fusion/CoolPeel, have been shown in research to help reduce the development of new nonmelanoma skin cancers in patients with significant sun damage.
In other words? Your glow-up is also a health investment. Let us explain.
Moxi: The Glow Treatment That’s Quietly Working Overtime
Moxi is the laser we recommend constantly, and for good reason. It’s gentle, has minimal downtime, works beautifully on a wide range of skin types, and delivers that fresh, polished, “what is she doing differently?” kind of glow.
What Moxi does aesthetically:
Evens out skin tone and fades sun spots and pigmentation
Smooths texture and refines pores
Restores that lit-from-within radiance
Treats early signs of aging before they become deeper concerns
Pairs beautifully with BBL (BroadBand Light) for a full rejuvenation experience
But here’s the part that has us excited (especially Dr. Erickson): Moxi falls into the category of fractional laser resurfacing, which has been associated with a reduced incidence of new nonmelanoma skin cancers in patients with significant sun damage. The same treatment that’s giving you that beautiful, even-toned canvas is also helping your skin clear out the cumulative damage that drives skin cancer risk.
This is why we love Moxi so much for my patients in their 30s, 40s, and beyond who grew up before SPF 50 was on every drugstore shelf. It’s an aesthetic upgrade and a long-term investment in your skin.
Helix Fusion / CoolPeel: The Resurfacing Power Couple
The Helix Fusion is our fractionated CO2 laser platform, and CoolPeel is the gentler, low-downtime CO2 treatment we deliver on the same device. Together, they’re some of the most effective tools we have for serious, transformative results.
What Helix Fusion and CoolPeel can do for you aesthetically:
Visibly tighten and smooth crepey or aging skin
Soften fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
Improve overall tone and texture
Reduce the appearance of sun spots and discoloration
Restore a youthful, refreshed look, without the downtime of traditional CO2 lasers (with CoolPeel)
CoolPeel is the lighter, more approachable version, perfect if you want to start gently or have a busy social calendar you can’t take days off from. Helix Fusion delivers a more dramatic transformation when you’re ready to go deeper.
And again, here’s the medical bonus: studies on fractionated CO2 and similar fractional resurfacing technologies have shown that treating sun-damaged skin can reduce the development of new keratinocyte skin cancers (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas) over time in higher-risk patients. The damage that ages your skin is the same damage that drives skin cancer risk. Resurfacing addresses both.
Why This Matters for Your Routine
We’re telling you all of this because we want you to feel really, really good about your aesthetic investment. The treatments you’re choosing for beauty aren’t separate from your health; they’re often supporting it. That’s the whole reason Clear Aesthetics MD lives under the umbrella of a medical dermatology practice. Every laser we offer, every treatment we deliver, has been chosen with the same clinical standard we apply to medical care.
When you come in for a Moxi session, you’re getting glow. You’re also getting science. You’re getting a treatment delivered by a team that understands skin at a medical level, and that knows exactly how to use these tools to keep you both beautiful and healthy.
That’s not something you’ll find at a med spa.
The Truth About Real Results: It’s a Commitment, Not a Quick Fix
We want to be honest with you: the damage done to your skin over the years cannot be undone in a single visit.
Not by Moxi. Not by CoolPeel. Not by any treatment, anywhere, no matter what Instagram tries to tell you.
Beautiful, healthy skin is built the same way damaged skin was: gradually, and over time. The patients who see the most jaw-dropping transformations are the ones who commit to a real plan, typically over six months or more, where treatments are layered, spaced strategically, and supported by the right in-office skincare.
That’s exactly why we created The Skin Health Plan Membership: to make committing to your skin (and getting real, lasting results) easy and rewarding.
