Tixel is a unique skin rejuvenation treatment that uses thermal-mechanical energy technology to create tiny channels in the skin, similar to the effects of fractional lasers. The creation of these channels prompts the skin’s natural healing process stimulating collagen production and facilitating more efficient penetration of topical treatments. Tixel features a titanium tip that reaches 400 degree centigrade transferring energy upon contact without burning the skin. Tixel is not laser-based, it is safe for all skin types and can treat the upper and lower eye area up to the lashes without requiring eye shields. Discomfort during the treatment is controlled with topical numbing creams.
