What is the Tixel?
As time moves forward for patients, they seek ways to reverse the clock and retain their youthfulness and beauty. Yet, they want to do so through a solution that’s not only effective but also non-invasive and safe. Tixel® meets the growing demand for improving skin complexion and reversing photoaging damage, so that patients can look forward to more youthful, revitalized skin.
Tixel® is powered by TMA™ (THERMOMECHANICAL ACTION) technology. It’s the only fractional skin resurfacing device to transfer thermal energy directly to skin – by conduction, the most effective form of heat transfer. Heat is applied to the skin by a medical-grade in situ self-sterilizing titanium tip, triggering the natural healing and skin rejuvenation processes. Tixel produces similar injuries and results to fractional CO2 lasers.
However, Tixel leaves no char or debris on the skin and has relatively less downtime for a similar end result. We are able to treat wrinkles and fine lines, active acne, including acne rosacea, acne scaring, skin discolouration, age spots, scars and DED (Dry Eye Disease).
*Ablative and non-ablative treatments available.

What Treatments Can Be Done With Tixel?
Tixel is a skin treatment that can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Skin tightening: Tixel can tighten the skin’s dermis, which can improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles, sagging, and dilated pores.
- Skin resurfacing: Tixel can regenerate the skin’s epidermis, which can even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation and blemishes.
- Acne Scarring: Tixel can treat active acne and acne scars.
- Rosacea: Tixel can open channels to treat rosacea allowing medications to penetrate.
- Uneven pigmentation: Tixel can treat uneven skin tone, skin discoloration, or melasma.
- Stretch marks: Tixel can treat stretch marks.
- Eyelid Tightening – upper and lower lids
- Drug delivery: Tixel can create tiny pores in the skin to allow medications to penetrate.
- DED (Dry Eye Disease).

What To Expect from the Treatment.
Before the Treatment
Assessment is firstly undertaken by the treatment provider to check suitability and match expectations. Treating tanned skin is not recommended.
During The Treatment
Tixel® applies natural heat directly to the skin, with facial treatment typically lasting around 20 minutes. Treatment is radiation-free, and there is no smoke, bleeding or skin charring. Analgesic cream may not be required at lowmedium settings as treatment is comfortable with minimal pain sensation.
After The Treatment
After treatment, skin is slightly swollen and red for 3 to 4 hours. Patients experience mild erythema and heat sensation for 2 to 3 hours. There is minimal downtime from 0 to 2 days, depending on treatment intensity. Micro-crusting will appear the following day but this can be covered up with make-up until it disappears after a few days. For optimized results, the treatment provider may wish to recommend a home care routine.
