Aesthetic Renewal. Technical Control.
Sometimes, your skin just needs a reset. A gentle smoothing of skin texture or a brightening of skin tone that diet and serums can’t quite deliver. To help you achieve this, Dr. Ramon Garza III brings his renowned attention to detail and technical precision from the operating room into the realm of aesthetic skin rejuvenation.
Utilizing the advanced Sciton mJoule system, featuring the powerful BroadBand Light (BBL) and the revitalizing Sciton MOXI treatment, Dr. Garza Plastic Surgery offers San Antonio patients the most precise, whole-patient approach to radiant, healthy skin. When you choose Sciton, you are choosing advanced laser technology for optimal results right here in San Antonio, TX.
The System That Knows Skin
The Sciton mJoule is an advanced platform that integrates multiple, clinically proven light and laser modalities to address a wide spectrum of skin concerns. It is not a single laser treatment, but a customizable system that our team uses to tailor a personalized treatment plan precisely to your skin’s needs, texture, and aesthetic goals. This advanced technology offers effective treatments for various signs of aging.
The system features two key technologies, which can be used separately or combined in a comprehensive session for maximum impact:
This is an intense pulsed light treatment that is often considered the gold standard for correcting surface-level irregularities. BBL treatments target and safely eliminate pigment, such as age spots, freckles, redness, and visible blood vessels. The light energy gently heats the upper layers of skin, stimulating your new collagen production and promoting a clearer, more even complexion. The BBL HERO function allows for faster treatment of the body.
A non-ablative fractional laser designed for subtle "prejuvenation" and skin maintenance. Sciton MOXI delivers micro-pulses of energy deep into the skin to create controlled micro-injuries. This triggers collagen production and cellular renewal, improving uneven texture, minor imperfections, and the overall glow of the skin's appearance. Because it is gentle, MOXI is ideal for patients seeking a minimal downtime path to smoother, brighter skin.
Precision for Your Skin
Our commitment to combining aesthetic excellence with technical precision means your Sciton Laser treatment is designed to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining the health and integrity of your skin. These non-invasive treatments fit seamlessly into a comprehensive approach to anti-aging and skin health.
Benefits of BBL and MOXI treatments often include:
Who Gets the Green Light?
The flexibility and control of the Sciton mJoule platform make it suitable for a wide variety of patients and skin types. If you are struggling with common signs of sun exposure, uneven texture, skin pigmentation, or simply want to proactively maintain your skin’s health, Sciton Lasers are likely an excellent option.
BBL is highly effective for patients with lighter to medium skin tone seeking to correct visible pigment and vascular issues. Sciton MOXI is gentle enough for various skin types, including darker complexions, and is especially ideal for patients who want to combat the earliest signs of aging. It offers deep dermal renewal without the extensive downtime of fully ablative lasers. During your consultation, our highly-skilled PA will thoroughly assess your skin’s history, sensitivity, and current condition.
Planning Your Skin Reset
Your aesthetic journey with Dr. Garza Plastic Surgery begins with a thoughtful, one-on-one consultation. Our highly trained PA will carefully listen to your specific skin concerns—whether it’s stubborn sun damage or a dull complexion—and analyze your skin's surface to determine the most advantageous path. She will fully explain how BBL, MOXI, or a combination treatment can address your unique goals as part of your personalized treatment plan.
Preparation for a Sciton session is straightforward:
Precise, Yet Comfortable
Dr. Garza and his team ensure every detail of your treatment experience is addressed thoughtfully and empathetically. Sciton laser San Antonio procedures are performed right here in our office.
Before the procedure begins, your skin will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided. While the BBL treatments and MOXI are typically well-tolerated, a topical numbing cream or topical numbing agent may be applied, especially for deeper MOXI treatments. This ensures a more comfortable treatment.
During the procedure, the BBL or MOXI handpiece glides smoothly over the treatment area.
The treatment duration is generally short, often taking only 15 to 30 minutes for the face, depending on the combination of treatments used. Our team’s advanced approach focuses on technical accuracy and comfort, making the entire process flow smoothly.
Clarity and Glow
The Sciton platform is praised for providing transformative results without demanding the prolonged downtime associated with older laser technology.
For BBL: You may experience mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, lasting a few hours. Pigmented lesions will temporarily darken and resemble coffee grounds (a process called "micro-crusting") before naturally flaking off over the next 7 to 14 days, revealing clearer skin beneath.
For MOXI: Recovery is minimal. Expect a sandpaper-like skin texture for a few days, and some minor swelling that subsides quickly. The MOXI works by gently treating damaged cells in the outer layer of the skin. This low social downtime allows most patients to get back to enjoying life in San Antonio quickly.
You will notice an initial improvement in tone and texture shortly after your skin has completed the flaking process. Optimal results often appear after a series of BBL treatments or MOXI sessions. We also offer Forever Clear BBL for those struggling with active acne.
The longevity of your results depends heavily on disciplined sun protection. Daily use of a high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen is crucial to protect your enhanced skin's appearance from future sun damage.
Investment in Confidence
Dr. Garza Plastic Surgery believes in transparent, customized treatment plan options. The cost of your Sciton Laser treatment is not fixed. It is determined by the specific modalities used (BBL, MOXI, or a combination), the size of the treatment area (face, neck, body, etc.), and the number of sessions needed to meet your aesthetic goals.
During your consultation, a detailed, personalized quote will be provided. This cost includes the fees associated with the use of the advanced Sciton mJoule Broadband Light technology and the professional fee for the skilled administration of the procedure.
Care That is Uncompromising
When how your skin looks matters, you turn to a specialist who respects the importance of technical precision and compassionate care.

Most patients achieve their best results after a series of three to four sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. This allows for cumulative improvement in skin pigmentation and new collagen production. Our team will tailor a specific maintenance plan for you during your consultation.
Sciton MOXI is one of the safest lasers for various skin types, including darker tones, as it uses a gentler wavelength. BroadBand Light (BBL) is best suited for lighter skin tone to safely target pigmented lesions. Our PA’s expertise ensures the correct setting is chosen for your specific complexion and skin concerns.
BBL treatments focus primarily on color correction, targeting sun damage and redness at the skin's surface. Sciton MOXI focuses on skin texture and preventative care, gently stimulating deep renewal to improve overall brightness and skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Yes, the “Custom Corrective Duo” approach combines the color-correcting power of BroadBand Light with the texture and glow enhancement of Sciton MOXI treatment in a single appointment. This stacked protocol maximizes benefits by addressing different layers of the skin.
Following BBL treatments, it is best to wait until the next day after any immediate redness subsides. With the gentle Sciton MOXI, most patients can apply mineral makeup approximately 24 hours after their procedure, allowing them to resume normal activities.
Most patients report the procedure is very tolerable. BBL feels like a quick, warm snap. MOXI is often described as a prickly, warming sensation. A topical numbing agent is often applied before the treatment to ensure a comfortable treatment.
