Tixel Skin Tightening TreatmentWhat is Tixel?
Tixel is a non-ablative fractional skin rejuvenation system. A great alternative to laser as it uses direct heat rather than light-based technology to resurface and tighten. Tixel treats delicate facial skin, including eyelids, under eyes, neck and decolletage.
Tixel device uses thermo-mechanical ablative technology. Sometimes referred to as the ‘400 degrees’ facial, its nickname is derived from the titanium tip that has multiple pyramid shaped spikes, which are heated to 400 degrees Celsius. The depth of penetration and treatment time of this procedure can be adjusted depending on the desired outcome. It is sometimes combined with topical medications for the treatment of mild scarring or pigmentation.
What Conditions and Symptoms Can Tixel Treat?
- Tighten Skin: Tixel delivers controlled thermal energy to the skin, creating microscopic thermal zones. This controlled heating stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help improve skin texture and elasticity.
- Treat Fine Lines: It effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting skin remodelling.
- Sun Damage: The thermal energy from Tixel targets and helps to break down excess melanin, which causes pigmentation issues like sunspots and age spots. By promoting the turnover of pigmented cells and stimulating the natural healing process, Tixel can help achieve a more even skin tone and reduce the visibility of sun-induced pigmentation.
With minimal discomfort and downtime. This treatment is safe and effective on all skin types.
