Tixel

About Tixel

Tixel utilises thermal energy to reduce and reverse signs of chronological ageing. It is a non-invasive treatment, using a grid of tiny heated pins to create microchannels in the skin, promoting collagen production and stimulating skin renewal.

Overview

Tixel works by delivering controlled heat energy to targeted areas, triggering a natural healing response in the skin. This leads to improved skin tone, a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, pigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation. Tixel can be used to address various skin concerns, including signs of ageing, acne scars, and active acne, pigmentation irregularities, and uneven skin texture. The treatment is quick and efficient, with minimal discomfort and less downtime in comparison to traditional ablative procedures. Tixel treatments can be adjusted to suit different skin types and desired outcomes, making it a versatile option for many individuals.

WHAT TO EXPECT

After a Tixel treatment, you may experience a sunburn-like sensation lasting 1 to 5 hours. Redness typically lasts 1 to 3 days, and mild to moderate swelling may occur for 2 to 4 days.

The use of stronger settings can create a noticeable “dot” pattern. Micro crusting of the dots may appear and should be left to naturally fall off within a week.

The skin may feel dry and rough, resembling sandpaper, lasting over a week. If the eyes were treated, swelling may last up to 4 days.

It’s important to follow our aftercare instructions for optimal healing.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR TREATMENT

Best results are seen when the skin is pre and post treated with our prescribed active home skin care. We recommend no excessive sun exposure for 3 weeks prior to treatment.
