Tixel® is a skin rejuvenation system based on thermo-mechanical energy, meaning it uses heat and pressure energy to remodel skin. It’s not a laser, however it can bring about the same type of skin changes you see with a non ablative laser, with an increased safety profile and ability to treat the eye region — which is why we love it.
How does Tixel work?
Tixel® uses a hot textured plate to heat the skin to about 400°C (YES, that is HOT!) — however, it touches the skin for only milliseconds at a time — so brief that this does not cause a significant wound, but inducing enough inflammation to remodel the skin.
Compared to lasers, there is much less energy produced from the treatment, which means the skin repairs much faster and the downtime is less, usually 1- 3 days of redness or mild swelling.
What areas of concern can be treated with Tixel?
Tixel is an amazing treatment which addresses skin laxity, and is especially good for delicate skin around the eyes, on the neck and decolletage. The fact that it does not require light energy to work means that it safe for the eyes (i.e. will not cause blindness, like a laser).
– It tightens saggy, droopy skin
– skin rejuvenation, leaving your skin even toned and glowing
– minimises fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes.
– improves pigmentation and skin blemishes
– bumpy skin texture
– acne scarring
– hooded eye lines and wrinkles/ crepey skin under the eyes.
How do I prepare for my treatment?
It is important to use medical grade skin care prior to treatment as it improves recovery time and boosts results; as well as sun protection with an SPF 50+.
Does the treatment hurt?
We use a powerful compounded medical grade local anaesthetic which is applied before your treatment. Most people find the treatment warm but tolerable.
This is a great treatment option especially for those who are scared of needles.
What is the downtime like after Tixel?
Tixel® results in low levels of thermal injury, which means the downtime is quick — usually 1- 3 days of redness and swelling, after which the skin remains dry for a week, before the dry skin flakes off revealing fresh healthy new skin below. During the recovery time, it is important to increase the application of moisturiser as this will help assist with the crust removal.
With patients with a lot of sun damage and superficial pigmentation, this may also lift off after the treatment, appearing as tiny little (temporary) brown spots/ or little grids on the skin. Patients notice an improvement in their complexion and pigment after a series of treatments especially the background “yellowing” of the skin that comes with age.
How many treatments do I need?
Tixel® is usually done on an average of 3-4 sessions, at 4 weeks apart depending on your concerns. With a recommended maintenance of once – twice per year.
