What is mJoule?

At the Maercks Institute, we offer the best possible technologies for facial rejuvenation and body treatments. We are excited to present the newest mJOULE platform featuring MOXI™, a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser, and BBL HERO.

MOXI and BBL can be used together or alone. Combined, they are versatile treatments that can treat all skin types and provide SIMPLY RADIANT SKIN from head to toe, providing the world’s most powerful intense pulsed light device to eliminate redness, dullness, pigmentation concerns, and the visible signs of aging anywhere on the face or body.

What are MOXI and BBL HERO?

MOXI is a gentle laser treatment designed with everyone in mind. Ideal for patients just starting their skincare journey, looking for a light touch up, or those wanting something more, MOXI opens the door to a younger rejuvenation patient. MOXI can achieve all of this in a gentle, low-to-no downtime, lunchtime procedure.

BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) will forever change how you treat your skin from head to toe. If you thought BBL could not get any better, we have news for you. With the BBL HERO platform, Dr. Maercks can take advantage of the BBL handpiece’s true potential, ensuring results are quickly delivered anywhere on the body.

What happens during the treatment?

Before your treatment, your specialist will examine your skin, discuss your skincare concerns and the areas of the body and face you would like to treat, and take the time to fully understand your aesthetic goals. From there, your aesthetician will design a personalized treatment plan for your skin.

The mJOULE platform provides both the BBL and the MOXI devices, which may be used as a combination treatment or one at a time. The device or devices will be used on your face or anywhere on your body to precisely treat any number of skin concerns. During your treatment, you will feel a warming or prickling sensation, but it is not painful. Each part of your body takes only minutes to treat.
