We know it’s a bold claim, but we believe it. In this blog, we will look at why we believe Moxie Medispa is the best medispa in Milwaukee. We will examine the importance of balance between the medical and spa aspects of a medispa as well as the importance of natural results. When we say ‘experience’ at Moxie, we mean it in both ways: The experience a person has at our Medispa and the medical expertise we possess. Finally, we will look at the services we offer and how we offer the solutions our customers are looking for.
Balance
At Moxie Medispa, we believe balance is extremely important. When we say balance we mean the balance between the medical side of beauty aesthetics and the spa side of beauty aesthetics.
Why is this important?
When you lean too far in one direction, it can negatively affect customers and patients. For example, if Moxie leaned too far into the medical side of our expertise, our services and offerings could become overwhelming and confusing, preventing the customer from accessing the results or solutions they are looking for. We want our customers to feel comfortable with the services we provide them while providing them with enough of an understanding that they feel comfortable moving forward. We look to provide all the information a patient needs without jumbling the explanation up with medical jargon and terms.
In the same breath, if Moxie leans too far in the other direction, it can provide an uncomfortable experience for our customers. If we lack a proper medical explanation or even if our space feels unprofessional, our patients may become uncomfortable when receiving our services. We want our space and customer experience to be as comfortable as a standard spa with the medical expertise of a doctor’s office, and this is what we offer.
Experience
Our focus on balance leads directly into our experience. Again, when we say experience, we mean both professional experience and the experience you have working with Moxie.
Professional Experience
Our founder and owner, Alex, is leading the charge of professional experience at Moxie. Alex is an Advanced Practice Provider, Women’s Health Practitioner, certified nurse-midwife, and Aesthetic Injector. She started her career in obstetrical and gynecological care. Throughout her career, her motto has always been ‘providing evidence-based medicine with personal connection.’
She pursued aesthetics and wellness training in Chicago, IL, under one of the country’s leading aesthetic injectors. Since then, she has combined her two worlds, providing high-end aesthetics techniques and prescription medical wellness. Her curiosity continues to push her, providing you a front-row seat to the most current practices and clinical applications.
With Alex, Moxie has Sasha, our nurse injector and RN. She brings over ten years of nursing experience, many in the world of aesthetics. She started her career as an ICU nurse and transitioned into plastic surgery. From her wealth of knowledge, she has a deep understanding of laser treatments and high-end injectable aesthetics.
Sahsas’s focus is on giving people a flawless, balanced, and not overwhelming look because, in the aesthetics world, it’s easier to give people a look that looks overdone than a timeless and natural look.
Spa Experience
At Moxie, we help people become healthier–and the versions of themselves they want to be. We do this through wellness services combined with proven medical practice and health and beauty applications.
We do this through a comfortable environment and process built around you. We start with a consultation, during which we discuss how you have been feeling and look over solutions that may work for you.
We then schedule an appointment with one of our specialists. In the session, we discuss what’s going to happen and what the results will look like. We then go through the session, working to be as pain-free as possible.
Following the session, we will monitor the results days after the appointment and follow up with you to see if you’re happy with them. In this follow-up, we can schedule feature sessions to update, rejuvenate, or continue treatments.
Natural Results
Moxie is always looking to provide you with the most natural results because we don’t want to change what makes you, you. The overdone look is one of the biggest turn-offs towards tox and other aesthetic practices. At Moxie, we look to dispel the myth that that’s all that tox and the aesthetics industry is.
It’s not just botox and injectables that face scrutiny; it’s also medical weight loss. There has been a lot of talk about the dangers of semaglutide, but we look to assure our customers that they can go through their weight loss journey safely and effectively with the help of our services to get them back to feeling like themselves.
What We Do
TOX
Jeuveau, an FDA-approved neuromodulator similar to Botox, effectively treats moderate to severe facial lines in adults, including frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Jeuveau sets up faster and lasts slightly longer, with results typically lasting three to four months and minimal bruising. These treatments target the underlying muscle contractions responsible for facial lines, providing temporary relaxation for a smoother appearance. Results are tailored to individual preferences, ensuring a natural and rejuvenated look with minimal discomfort and no recovery time.
DERMAL FILLERS
At Moxie, dermal fillers, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, are used to restore volume under the skin for soft, natural results. We prioritize safety and natural outcomes, using fillers like Versa. Before the procedure, a full consultation ensures your goals and health history are reviewed. Following the consultation, we require the patient’s signed consent.
Before each procedure, we apply a numbing cream to the face to limit pain and discomfort. The process takes around 30 minutes to an hour in total, during which you relax as the provider injects filler in the appropriate places. Post-procedure, you are advised to take it easy for 24 hours, with Moxie providing guidance. Some bruising and swelling are expected, but there’s no downtime, allowing you to return to work immediately.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling uses devices like the SkinPen® Precision, which creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin with fine, sterile needles, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing process and stimulating collagen and elastin production. During the procedure, the device creates tiny punctures, prompting the skin to generate new fibers that repair and rejuvenate the skin. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in texture. Microneedling can also improve scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation by promoting cell turnover and enhancing the absorption of topical skincare products, making it a safe and effective method for achieving youthful-looking skin.
MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
These medications operate through hormone systems called GLP-1 and GIP. They enhance insulin production, reduce glucagon synthesis, delay gastric emptying, and decrease food cravings, thus supporting better metabolic function, quicker satiety, and reduced cravings. Your provider will explain these medications in detail during your consultation to ensure you understand and feel confident in the process. While both medications belong to the same family, they differ in their mechanisms: Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptor, whereas Tirzepatide targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Tirzepatide’s dual mechanism often results in more effective and predictable weight loss and glucose control compared to Semaglutide, making it a better option for some. Side effects for both are typically mild and manageable with appropriate dosing. These medications are revolutionizing weight loss, and a discussion with your provider will help you determine the best choice for you.
