Tixel treatment can help to reduce:

• forehead “worry” lines
• Glabellar “frown” lines
• eyelid lines
• acne scars
• lip lines
• creased chin
• crow’s feet
• bunny lines
• nasal labial folds (smile lines)
• neck folds
• stretch marks
• age spots
• skin tone and texture
• sun damaged skin
• skin discolouration

Thermal energy is transferred to the skin by a hot titanium tip, which contacts the skin briefly. There is no bleeding.

The extent of energy transfer is determined by the tip’s exposure time with the skin. Heat transfer is by contact. The tip does not perforate the tissue.

After treatment the skin may be slightly swollen and red for 3-4 hours.

Patients may experience mild erythema and heat sensation for up to 2-3 hours.

Downtime can be anywhere from 0 to 2 days depending on the intensity of the treatment.

Micro crusting may appear the next day, and in most cases disappears after 3 days.

These treatments are popular due to the high patient satisfaction levels and low pain associated.

Treatment plans vary from patient to patient and we will help guide you on the best plan to suit your individual needs, skin types and zones you want to work on.

As a rough guide the following may be considered:

• Treatments spaced 1 month apart
• A treatment plan of 3-4 sessions (depending on the results desired)
