Tixel® gives extraordinary results in treating a wide range of conditions. Tixel® uses thermo-mechanicalablation technology (TMA) to provide anti-aging improvements to the skin tone and texture, giving it a radiant and youthful appearance. Tixel® delivers results that are comparable to deep skin peels and intensive laser treatments, with much less downtime, less pain and faster recovery times.

Tixel® treatment is ideal for those seeking smoother, more radiant and revitalised looking skin, but who are worried about downtime. The added benefit is that it continues to deliver results that improve over time and can last for several years (as it is your own collagen that produces the effects).

How it works

Tixel® uses a small heated metal plate of multiple tiny heated cones. This is passed over the face and neck, delivering short bursts of heat energy directly to the skin’s surface, without damaging deeper skin tissues. This stimulates collagen production, which in turn tightens the skin.


Side effects and downtime

This will depend on the level of your treatment. Your skin may feel tight, warm and slightly sensitive, as if you have been in the sun, with some mild swelling and redness 24-72 hours post treatment. For the Full and Medium Ablative treatments, your skin can remain pink to red for 2-3 days and a light brown micro crust will form for 7-10 days. For the lower intensity Open Channel treatment, you will be able to return to normal activity the following day. Tixel® around the mouth may trigger cold sores, this can be treated as you would normally treat an outbreak.


Aftercare?

You must avoid touching the treatment area, to minimize infection. You must not rub or pick at any micro-crusts as this could cause scarring or hyperpigmentation. These micro-crusts will lift away naturally by day 10. Full Ablative and Medium Ablative treatments: Use Cleansing Gel and Hyacyn Active Mist to clean your skin and pat area dry. Restorative Serum can be applied every hour for the following 24 hours while awake and then every 4-6 hours thereafter. Avoid all active skin care products such as retinol, vitamin C, hydroquinine, salicylic acid and exfoliant face washes for 7 days post treatment. For the first 48 hours, you should avoid the sun and wear a mineral physical barrier spa to protect your skin such as Tone Smart by Skinbetter and a wide rimmed hat and glasses. After 48 hours, it is very important to apply a high factor sun cream daily for at least 6 months post treatment. Your skin will glow after a week and tighten in 6 weeks.

Open Channel treatment: If using a exosome treatment, apply regularly during the 6 hours post treatment (wash hands prior to application). Tone Smart Sunscreen may be applied to the treated area 6 hours after treatment. Make-up can be worn 6 hours following treatment, however it is preferable to leave your skin clean. Avoid all active skin care products such as retinol, vitamin C, hydroquinine, salicylic acid and exfoliant face washes for 7 days after the treatment.
