What Is Tixel?
Tixel is an advanced treatment device that uses a titanium tip to deliver controlled thermal energy to the skin, which stimulates collagen production and encourages skin rejuvenation. It is often compared to laser treatments and microneedling, but it provides an approach with less downtime. As Tixel stimulates collagen and elastin production, it enhances the skin’s appearance and improves overall health, texture, tone, and reduces signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles.
When injected into carefully planned locations, Botox relaxes the muscles that are responsible for deep lines and wrinkles, diminishing their appearance. A cosmetically significant effect of botox along the brow and around the eyes is raising the brown and giving a more youthful, open eye appearance and diminishing loose skin on the upper eyelid. There are many other positive effects of botox: lifting lower face and jowls, reshaping lower face, reducing gummy smile, soften lip lines, improve skin texture, and even improve mood!
This simple, quick in-office procedure gives patients renewed confidence and a refreshed appearance with no downtime.
How Does Tixel Work?
Tixel delivers controlled heat energy through a sterile metal tip made of copper, gold, and titanium. This tip, heated to approximately 400ºC (similar to a CO₂ laser), gently contacts the skin using a matrix of tiny, pyramid-shaped pins.
Microchannel Therapy:
These microzones stimulate collagen production by precisely wounding the skin surface—without puncturing it, and create microchannels that enhance the delivery of topical medications (LADD), such as:
- Tranexamic acid (for melasma)
- Topical steroids or 5-Fluorouracil (for scarring)
- Aminolevulinic acid (for sun damage and precancers)
- Botox (for conditions like hyperhidrosis or rosacea)
