Tixel

 Tixel is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses thermo-mechanical energy to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity. Unlike lasers, which rely on light, Tixel delivers controlled heat through a medical-grade titanium tip to create micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates collagen production, promotes skin tightening, and enhances the absorption of topical products applied afterward.

Because it does not use radiation, needles, or aggressive chemicals, Tixel is safe for all skin types and can be performed on delicate areas such as the eyelids and under the eyes — areas often considered too sensitive for traditional lasers.

 During treatment, the Tixel handpiece briefly touches the skin with a heated titanium tip, transferring controlled thermal energy to the surface. This creates tiny, precise channels in the skin that trigger the body’s natural healing response. As the skin repairs, new collagen and elastin are formed, improving firmness and reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and texture issues.

The depth and intensity of treatment can be customized to target concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, or overall skin rejuvenation. Because of this flexibility, Tixel can deliver results similar to fractional lasers but with less downtime and discomfort.

 Tixel is considered a very safe procedure, but as with any skin treatment, there are potential side effects. Most patients experience mild redness, warmth, or swelling immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually resolve within 24–72 hours, depending on treatment intensity.

Peeling, flaking, or dryness may occur in the days following treatment as the skin renews itself. Rare side effects include prolonged redness, pigmentation changes, or infection if post-care instructions are not followed. Choosing an experienced provider significantly reduces these risks.

 BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

•  Avoid tanning, excessive sun exposure, and harsh skincare products (like retinoids or exfoliants) for at least one week prior. 
• Arrive with clean skin, free of heavy makeup or sunscreen 

ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

• Topical numbing cream will be applied to enhance comfort. 
• Pre-treatment photos will be taken. 
• The procedure typically takes 30–90 minutes depending on the area(s) treated.
•  During the treatment, your provider will gently apply the Tixel device to the targeted area. Each touch of the heated tip is quick,  

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

• Redness and warmth are most noticeable in the first few hours post-treatment and usually fade within a couple of days. 
•  May experience mild swelling, dryness, or light peeling as the skin heals and regenerates. 
• Aftercare instructions provided by your aesthetician, should be followed to ensure smooth healing. It is recommended to take home the Post Procedure Kit for more effective healing.
• Avoid direct sun exposure, heat, and harsh skincare for several days 
• For best results, pair your treatment with the CO2 Mask and Hydrinity Restorative HA serumproducts recommended by your provider.

 Many patients notice smoother, brighter skin within 1–2 weeks after treatment, as cell turnover begins. Collagen remodeling takes more time, so results continue to improve over several months. Fine lines soften, skin tightens, and texture becomes more refined with each session.

For optimal outcomes, most patients require a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help prolong results.

Tixel is an excellent option for men and women seeking skin rejuvenation without the downtime of traditional lasers or aggressive procedures. It’s safe for all skin types and can treat sensitive areas, including around the eyes, neck, and décolletage.

It may not be recommended for patients with open wounds, active infections, severe acne, or certain medical conditions affecting healing. A consultation with your provider is the best way to determine if Tixel aligns with your skin goals and to create a personalized treatment plan.
