Tixel

Tixel is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses precisely targeted thermal energy to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat various skin conditions with minimal downtime.

Transform Your Skin with Tixel

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.

Benefits of Tixel:

  • Non-invasive: No needles, no surgery, minimal discomfort.
  • Versatile treatment: Effective for wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and skin laxity. It is especially effective at targeting areas like the eyes, perioral, and neck skin.
  • Safe for all skin types: Suitable for a wide range of skin tones and conditions.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients can resume activities within a few days depending on the energy settings used.
  • Natural-looking results: Promotes collagen production for gradual, lasting improvements.

What is Tixel?

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.

How Does Tixel Work?

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.

Treatment Areas for Tixel

  • Face: Smooths fine lines, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin texture on the forehead, cheeks, and around the eyes.
  • Neck: Firms and tightens the skin on the neck, reducing signs of aging.
  • Décolletage: Enhances the appearance of the chest area by treating sun damage and improving skin texture.
  • Hands: Rejuvenates the hands by reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone.

What to Expect During Your Tixel Treatment

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.

Results and Aftercare

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.

What is your favourite area to treat?

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.

Patient Reviews

"I don't like needles so no botox or filler for me but I see Dr. Beleznay and her team for laser treatments for my skin and recently tried Emface and am quite happy with the results. They put on good numbing on to help with pain and leave that on for a bit which is nice. It’s better than the EMLA wrap I had before."
"Dr. Beleznay is so kind, professional, and an absolute expert at what she does! I am grateful I not only met her but her treatments have never felt short of amazing!"
"OK I’m going to admit I came in and was a little uncertain of what to expect. I was anxious about the consult and just doing treatments in general, but she and her team made me feel very comfortable and I love love love my results! I’m so glad I got off my sofa and came in!"
"Enjoyed my meeting with Dr. Beleznay. The building is hard to get into with construction, but they paid for my parking which was a nice perk. The experience was pleasant without too much pain. I also like my new skincare routine."
