TIXEL NON-INVASIVE SKIN REJUVENATION
This is the most advanced fractional thermo-mechanical procedure for the skin, providing anti-ageing improvements on skin tone and texture for a more youthful appearance. This procedure delivers results that are comparable to deep skin peels and intensive laser treatments, with much less downtime, less pain and faster recovery times.
Tixel® gives extraordinary results in treating a wide range of conditions. Traditionally hard to treat areas like around the eye or neck are effectively treated with this procedure. This device does not risk damage to the eyes, no protective eyewear is required and the treatment can cover the entire eyelid, right up to the lash lines.
Ablative Skin Treatment; Tixel and CO2 Laser: Similarities and Differences
The tixel device can deliver full ablative skin treatments, similar to CO2 lasers (with much less downtime) with dramatic skin tightening and rejuvenation after 1 treatment. Recovery time for fully ablative tixel treatment is 2-3 days, while CO2 recovery may take up to 2 weeks. In addition, since there is no risk of eye injury with tixel, it is possible to treat around the eyes, even very close to the eyelashes, without eye protection or risk to the eyes. CO2 lasers will require corneal shields (metal shields that go under the eyelids) should treatment be performed within the bony orbit around the eye. There will remain the possibility of eye injury from the metal shields.
Medium Ablative Skin Treatment
Biorejuvenation of the skin using topical solutions can deliver a holistic approach to anti-aging skin rejuvenation. The tixel device can be applied to the skin to open up channels for topical drug delivery deep into the skin. We can then apply patient derived PRP ( Platelet Rich Plasma) or PRF (platelet Rich Fibrin) that is rich in growth factors to accelerate healing and collagen formation. In addition other specific medications can be delivered to the skin to treat conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma and rosacea.
Medium abrasive treatments can deliver similar results to fully ablative treatments after 3-6 treatments, with less than 24 hours recovery time. This is perfect for those that want to keep recovery time to the minimal and prefer a more gradual and less dramatic improvement in skin tone and texture.
