What is TIXEL?

TIXEL is a non-invasive resurfacing technology that transfers thermal energy to the skin using a titanium tip. Unlike lasers and radiofrequency devices, no light, needles, or radiation are used. The outermost layer of the skin remains intact throughout treatment, which is what makes recovery faster and more comfortable than more aggressive resurfacing approaches.

It is safe to use on all skin types, including skin with melasma and acne-prone skin. Treatments are as quick as 15 to 30 minutes and are well-tolerated, often with minimal to no topical numbing required.

A consultation is required to determine the most appropriate settings and treatment plan for your skin.

It is super versatile and can be used as:

  • Complexion
  • Skin Tightening

How TIXEL Works

TIXEL uses a heated titanium tip to transfer controlled thermal energy to the skin in a precise, fractional pattern. The heat creates micro-channels in the skin that trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen production and skin remodeling over time.

Because the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, remains intact, the skin heals quickly and with significantly less discomfort and visible recovery than ablative approaches. There is no oozing or bleeding, and patients can apply sunscreen and makeup just 24 hours post-treatment.

TIXEL is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin laxity and tightening
  • Acne scarring
  • Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
  • Overall skin texture and complexion
  • Safe for melasma and acne-prone skin

What to Expect

Treatment Day (Quick and Comfortable)

Treatments take 15 to 30 minutes. TIXEL is well-tolerated and many patients require no numbing. Chilled air and topical numbing are available to increase comfort. Most patients report feeling some heat at the treatment site.

24 Hours (After Back to Normal)

Most patients return to normal activity, including social interaction and work, within hours of treatment. Makeup and sunscreen can be applied after 24 hours. Avoid sun exposure, heavy exercise, saunas, and active skincare products during this period.

Over Time (Results Build)

For skin rejuvenation, we recommend 3 treatments scheduled once every 4 to 6 weeks, followed by one to two maintenance treatments within the year. More difficult concerns such as acne scarring may require additional sessions.
