Tixel Resurfacing

What is Tixel?

Tixel is an innovative skin rejuvenation device that utilizes Thermo-Mechanical Ablation (TMA) technology to deliver controlled thermal energy to the skin's surface. Unlike traditional lasers, Tixel employs a titanium tip with tiny pyramids that make direct contact with the skin, creating microchannels. This allows for the precise delivery of heat energy, stimulating collagen production and triggering the skin's natural healing process.

Contraindications:

While Tixel is a safe and effective treatment for many individuals, there are some contraindications to consider, including:

• Active skin infections or inflammation
• Recent sun exposure or sunburn
• History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Certain medical conditions or medications that may interfere with the healing process

It's essential to undergo a thorough consultation with our experienced practitioners to determine if Tixel is suitable for you and to discuss any potential risks or concerns.

Preparation:

Before undergoing Tixel treatment, there are a few steps you can take to prepare:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before treatment.
• Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliating agents, and certain skincare products as advised by your practitioner.
• Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.
• Discuss any medications or medical conditions with your practitioner to ensure your safety during treatment.

Benefits of Tixel:

Tixel offers a wide range of benefits for individuals looking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin, including:

• Skin tightening and firming
• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoothing of uneven texture and acne scars
• Minimization of pores
• Overall improvement in skin tone and radiance

With its customizable treatment parameters and minimal downtime, Tixel provides a safe and effective solution for achieving smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Treatment Process:

During a Tixel treatment session, your skin specialist will gently pass the Tixel device over the treatment area, delivering controlled thermal energy to the skin's surface. You may experience a mild warming sensation and slight discomfort, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Afterward, you may notice redness and swelling, which typically subside within a few hours to a few days.

Results and Follow-Up:

While some patients may see immediate improvements in their skin's appearance, optimal results are typically achieved after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan based on your individual goals and needs. Additionally, regular maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain your results over time.

After undergoing Tixel treatment, proper aftercare is essential to promote optimal healing and enhance your results. Here are some important aftercare guidelines to follow:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sun exposure for at least two weeks following treatment. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat and protective clothing when outdoors.

2. Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer regularly. This helps to soothe the skin and promote healing.

3. Avoid Harsh Products: Avoid using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants, retinoids, and acids, for at least one week post-treatment. These products can irritate the skin and interfere with the healing process.

4. Do Not Pick or Scratch: It's important to resist the urge to pick or scratch at any scabs or crusts that may form on the skin following treatment. Allow the skin to heal naturally to minimize the risk of scarring or infection.

5. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Hydration is essential for promoting healthy skin and supporting the body's natural healing process.

6. Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Follow any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner, including recommendations for skincare products and follow-up appointments. These instructions are tailored to your individual needs and will help ensure the best possible outcome.

7. Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid exposure to hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and other sources of excessive heat for at least one week post-treatment. Heat can exacerbate inflammation and prolong the healing process.

8. Be Patient: Allow your skin time to heal and regenerate following Tixel treatment. It's normal to experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, which should gradually improve over the days following treatment.
