TIXEL
WHAT IS TIXEL?
Tixel® is an innovative thermal fractional skin rejuvenation treatment that uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen production and renew the skin’s surface.
By delivering precise thermal energy through a medical-grade titanium tip, Tixel® improves skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and acne scarring while promoting natural skin regeneration.
This minimally invasive treatment is suitable for various skin types and offers visible rejuvenation with minimal downtime, making it an effective alternative to traditional laser resurfacing.
The treatment areas for Tixel for the best results are
Wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and mouth
Full face rejuvenation for sun damage
Pigmentation and enlarged pores
Crepe neck skin and lines
DURING THE TREATMENT
The Tixel machine features a bio-compatible, sterile titanium tip which is heated to 400 degrees C. The tip is approximately 1 cm square and contains 9 columns and 9 rows of tiny pyramids (totalling 81).
The tip makes brief contact with the skin, where it transfers thermal energy to the upper skin layers, creating micron sized pores.
The energy transfer can be controlled according to the treatment area and condition being treated. This is adjusted by varying the tip’s skin exposure time as well as its thermal conductivity.
AFTERCARE
Here are some guidelines to help you plan your treatment and recovery from Tixel:
Expect to feel a hot ‘sunburnt’ feeling for a couple of hours after Tixel treatment
Redness will last for a few days
Expect some micro crusting (small scabbing). This will clear after 4-5 days
Patients should not expect any peeling or blistering
Makeup can be used after 48 hours to cover your skin while healing continues. We suggest mineral makeup.
Results can be seen 4-6 weeks after treatment
Your skin will need to be free from active tan for 3 weeks prior to treatment and will require strong sun protection for 3 weeks following treatment
