Tixel® Skin Tightening and Resurfacing

Tixel® is the first and only ground-breaking technology for skin resurfacing that treats all skin types through a process called thermo-mechanical action (TMA). TMA® is a technology that combines motion and heat with the forward movement of a medical-grade titanium tip. This proprietary non-invasive technology transfers thermal energy to skin quickly, safely, and effectively.

Tixel® has three modes:

• Ablative mode - Ablative mode uses heat on the skin to create micro-channels of controlled damage, stimulating your body to produce collagen and rejuvenate the skin. Ablative mode is the most intensive type of Tixel® treatment and has the greatest tightening effect.

• Non-ablative mode - Non-ablative mode heats the upper dermis, without heating the epidermis (the outer layer of skin), to create open channels that help transfer serums and creams into the skin. Non-ablative mode is the second-most intensive type of Tixel® treatment and is used to treat skin problems such as age spots, acne scarring, and sun damage

• Open-channel mode - The open-channel mode is the least intensive type of Tixel® treatment. Without using needles, it opens channels to help transfer serums and creams into the skin. Open-channel mode is used to improve skin tone and texture.

Pain and downtime are minimal compared to laser and radiofrequency treatments. Makeup can be applied the day after treatment.
