What Could Tixel® Do for Your Skin? Benefits, How it Works, and What You Should Know

October 9th.

As we journey through life, our skin tells a unique story—a map of our backgrounds, experiences, and environment. We may notice sun spots multiplying, or perhaps acne scars, fine lines, or loss of firmness have become more visible over time.

Imagine a treatment that could address multiple skin concerns simultaneously! Enter Tixel: an innovative procedure that goes beyond surface-level care. By stimulating collagen production and accelerating cell turnover, Tixel unveils a brighter, complexion while simultaneously resurfacing and tightening the skin.

What sets Tixel® apart from other treatments?

We’re excited to introduce Tixel to our suite of treatments as it offers a unique solution; one that combines the innovative skin-tightening potential of treatments like Thermage® and Ultherapy® with the complexion-enhancing potential of treatments like Clear + Brilliant® and microneedling.

Tixel® can tighten and resurface skin

It’s one device with multiple uses. Triggering advanced collagen and elastin production allows for smoother, tighter skin. Tixel also rejuvenates the complexion, clearing dullness and uneven tone to reveal a refreshed, more radiant complexion. 

It’s suitable for delicate areas of the face

Tixel allows us to gently, effectively treat even the most sensitive areas of the face. Regions like the periorbital region (crow’s feet, upper and lower eyelids), the perioral region (barcode lines and other lip lines), are especially delicate and not always suited to laser or thermal technologies. Tixel lets us lift, brighten, and restore the whole face, neck, and décolletage, or target any particular area of concern.

Advanced technology allows for patient-specific customization

Thermal-Mechanical Action (TMA®) technology combines both motion and heat to resurface skin with lasting results. A specialized handpiece with medical-grade titanium cone tips briefly contacts the skin’s surface to deliver thermal energy in a fractional pattern. This process creates micro-injuries that activate the skin’s natural healing mechanisms. With adjustable settings, Tixel can be customized for each patient’s needs, offering varied treatment intensities, downtime, and results.  This flexibility means that Tixel can offer both gentle and more assertive treatments to address different skin types and conditions.

As a leading clinical research site for Tixel, we have developed a deep understanding of the technology and its capabilities, helping us deliver advanced and precise treatments.

Benefits of Tixel® treatment

• • Stimulates collagen production: Works with your body’s natural healing processes to reinforce supple, collagen-rich skin.

• Tightens skin: Provides a natural-looking lift for the face, neck, and décolletage. 

• Smooths skin: Uneven skin texture diminishes to reveal a smoother, fresher complexion.

• • It’s a quick treatment: Treatment fits easily into a busy schedule.
  • Targets multiple concerns: Effectively addresses laxity, acne scars, pigmentation and age spots. 
  • Manageable treatment: The quick bursts of heat and gentle application allow for better tolerance than some other laser or injectable treatments.

• Uses heat instead of light technology: Tixel combines heat and mechanical energy for a low-risk alternative to ablative laser treatment. 

• Minimal downtime: The minimally-invasive treatment allows for smooth recovery.
• Versatile: Suitable for the face, neck, and hands, and customizable for each patient.
• No needles: A minimally-invasive treatment with no need for injections or incisions.
• Suitable for all skin types: Adjustable settings allow for safe treatment of a broad range of skin types, including melanin-rich skin.

How many Tixel® appointments will I need?

Tixel results are optimized through a treatment series. We typically recommend 1-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with gradual improvements following each session. Once the initial series is complete, maintenance treatments may only be needed once a year. Collagen production continues to enhance results long after treatment.
