Tixel
Tixel is an innovative heat-based device that utilises controlled thermal energy delivered through a stamping motion to rejuvenate the skin effectively. This advanced solution is particularly beneficial for treating sensitive facial areas, including sagging and wrinkling around the periorbital region, eyelids, neck, and décolleté. Suitable for various age groups and skin types, Tixel can be performed year-round with minimal downtime, making it a versatile option for many patients.
Patients often report high satisfaction levels following Tixel treatments, experiencing significant improvements in skin texture and complexion, a more youthful appearance, and a reduction in wrinkles and superficial pigmentation. A typical treatment plan involves 3 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4 - 6 weeks apart.
Tixel treatment can be enhanced by combining it with Exosome or PRP treatments leading to more remarkable results.
Employing thermo-mechanical action for fractional skin rejuvenation, Tixel combines safety and efficacy in addressing various skin concerns. The process involves a specialised hand piece with a sterile titanium tip heated to 400 degrees Celsius, which creates micro-channels in the skin to boost collagen synthesis and improve the absorption of topical skincare products. This makes Tixel a revolutionary choice for those seeking effective skin revitalisation without the risks associated with traditional ablative lasers and deep chemical peels.
Treatable areas
Tixel treatment is versatile and can be used on various areas of the body to address different skin concerns. Some of the treatable areas include:
1. Face: Tixel is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and addressing fine lines. It also helps minimise pores, giving the skin a smoother appearance. Additionally, it can treat uneven pigmentation, melasma, and age spots, resulting in a brighter complexion.
2. Neck: It can help tighten loose skin around the neck, creating a lift and improving jawline definition, while also enhancing overall skin texture. Tixel can also be beneficial for reducing the appearance of jowls.
3. Décolletage: Tixel is effective for rejuvenating the chest area, minimising sun damage, and improving skin tone.
4. Backs of hands: Tixel can treat age spots, wrinkles, and overall skin quality on the hands.
5. Around the Eyes: It can be used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and help create a subtle eye lift, enhancing the overall appearance of the eye area. Tixel can also be applied to the eyelids to improve skin texture, tighten and reduce signs of aging.
6. Body: Tixel can also be applied to various body areas to address skin laxity, scarring, and overall texture improvement.
This versatility makes Tixel a popular choice for individuals looking to enhance their skin’s appearance in multiple areas.
Tixel Pre & Post Care Instructions
Patients undergoing Tixel treatments can anticipate significant improvements in skin quality, texture, and elasticity. Expect a more even skin tone, reduced wrinkle depth, and overall rejuvenation. Many report feeling a noticeable difference after just one or two sessions, with the most substantial results becoming apparent 3 to 6 months after completing the full treatment series.
Pre-Treatment care
- To achieve optimal results and minimize potential complications, it is essential to prepare your skin for at least 2 weeks, before your Tixel treatment. We recommend using Synergy's Ultimate aging kit, EnLighten / VaNish, Alastin's Skin nectar or anything with Vitamin A, B and C (making sure to stop the vitamin A 2 days before treatment.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and UV lamps as much as possible for at least 1 - 2 weeks prior.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF, specifically UberZinc to any area exposed to the sun, and remember to reapply throughout the day.
- Refrain from using harsh exfoliants or abrasive sponges days before treatment.
- If prescribed, continue using any depigmenting creams as directed.
- Take any prescribed antiviral or antibiotic medications as instructed.
- Inform your provider of any changes to your medical history.
- Ensure you have all necessary post-treatment medications and creams at home prior to your session.
Post-Treatment Expectations
The post-treatment experience can vary based on the treatment's intensity and the specific skin conditions being addressed. Common sensations include:
- A heat sensation similar to a sunburn, typically subsiding within 1-4 hours.
- Redness that may range from mild to moderate, usually settling by day 3.
- Mild swelling that typically resolves within 1-3 days.
- Tiny dot patterns may appear on the treated skin.
- A dry, sandpaper-like texture as the skin heals.
- A sensation of tightness, along with mild to moderate peeling starting around days 3-4.
To minimise these sensations, regular application of emollients for the first 5-7 days post-treatment and strict adherence to care instructions are essential.
