Gentle, yet powerful comprehensive skin rejuvenation
Gentle, yet powerful comprehensive skin rejuvenation
Tixel® uses a proprietary technology called thermo-mechanicalablation (TMA) to provide a wide array of anti-aging benefits. It is 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 skin by a medical-grade self-sterilizing titanium tip, triggering the natural healing and skin rejuvenation processes.

For skin tightening and scar therapy, both full and mild ablative treatments are appropriate. With just one Tixel session, the results are equivalent to fractional CO2 laser resurfacing or a deep chemical peel. The skin may be rosy for a few days and microscopic micro crusts may form. To hide this, apply make-up 48 hours after the therapy. Following treatment, we recommend taking a few of days off.
This level can produce the same skin tightening outcomes as the full ablative level, but it will take longer. Normal activities can be resumed within 24 hours. The therapy for post-care is the same as for complete ablative treatment.
Because the effects of ablative and sub-ablative therapy are produced by your own collagen, the results of a course of treatment can last for several years. We suggest a series of 3-6 treatments.
The lightest treatment level is Open Channel therapy. The application of heat to the skin results in the formation of "channels" in the top layer of the skin. This enhances the skin's porosity, which aids in the absorption of topical medications (also known as mesotherapy) for skin imperfections like melasma, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and skin laxity (lack of tightness). There is very little downtime - most patients resume regular activities the next day.
CoolSculpting® employs a process known as Cryolipolysis. (“Cryo” = cold + “lipo” = fat cells + “lysis” = cell death and removal.) During treatment, stubborn fat deposits are subjected to controlled cooling.
The controlled cooling safely penetrates the skin. Subcutaneous fat cells begin to freeze. This ruptures the cell’s membrane. The ruptured fat cells are flagged for apoptosis –cell death and removal.
Over the passage of several weeks, the body’s immune system gathers the demolished fat cells. Frozen fat cells ultimately exit the body as waste. These fat cells cannot return or be replaced.
