Tixel is a cutting-edge treatment that uses thermo-mechanical ablation (TMA) technology to rejuvenate the skin. This innovative approach delivers controlled heat energy to the skin, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin texture, while being gentle and safe for all skin types. Ideal for those seeking a non-invasive solution to skin aging, Tixel offers visible results with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Tixel is a revolutionary skin resurfacing treatment that uses thermo-mechanical ablation (TMA) technology to deliver controlled heat energy to the skin's surface. This process creates micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing response and encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. Tixel is designed to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and overall skin texture, with minimal downtime and discomfort.
Tixel works by using a titanium tip heated to a precise temperature, which makes brief contact with the skin's surface. The controlled heat energy creates micro-channels in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the skin's natural repair processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer skin with a more even tone and texture.
A Tixel treatment session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. During the procedure, the Tixel device is gently applied to the skin, delivering controlled heat energy to the targeted areas. Patients may experience a warm sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. Topical anesthesia may be applied to the skin prior. After the treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects usually subside within a few days.
The results of Tixel treatments are often noticeable within a few weeks, with continued improvement as new collagen and elastin develop. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, depending on the individual’s skin concerns and goals. Aftercare is simple, with patients advised to avoid direct sun exposure and use gentle skincare products to support the healing process. We also take advantage of the microchannels formed during the procedure to help deliver different topicals into the skin. We will customize this to your unique needs.
The number of Tixel sessions required depends on your skin condition and desired outcome. Typically, a series of 2 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended. The number of sessions will depend on the energy settings of the treatment.
Results from Tixel can be seen within a few weeks, with ongoing improvement as the skin continues to heal and regenerate.
Tixel has minimal downtime. You may experience redness and swelling for a few days to a week or so after (depending on the energy used) but most patients can resume normal activities the next day.

Yes, Tixel can be combined with other treatments such as lasers, PRP therapy, or skin tightening treatments to enhance overall skin rejuvenation results.
Tixel is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and address pigmentation with minimal discomfort and downtime.
We love treating the eyelid area to treat lax skin and crinkly skin around the eyes as you can take it right up to the lash line and really tighten the skin here. There is no need for a protective eye shield and it is very safe in this area.
