Tixel Skin Tightening FAQs

How does Tixel Skin Tightening work?

Tixel® uses a small heated metal plate of multiple tiny heated cones. This is passed over the face and neck, delivering short bursts of heat energy directly to the skin’s surface, without damaging deeper skin tissues. This stimulates collagen production, which in turn tightens the skin.

What Tixel treatment options are available?

Open-Channel

An Open Channel treatment is the lightest treatment level. The heat applied to the skin creates “channels” in the upper layer of the skin. This increases the porosity of the skin to help in the absorption of topical medicines (known as mesotherapy) which targets conditions such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, rosacea and skin laxity (lack of tightness). There is minimal downtime and you can return to normal activities the next day. Make-up can be used the same day to hide any redness, however it is preferable not to.

Ablative

Ablative is a deeper treatment that is used for rejuvenation and treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring. Results are comparable to those of a fractional laser resurfacing treatment or RF Skin Needling, with less pain and downtime. Recovery time can vary, and for 3-7 days, the skin can be pink and small micro- crusts will develop and fall off.

What can I expect during the treatment?

The machine is hand held with the metal plate passing directly onto the skin for a fraction of a second, delivering a short burst of heat. Treatment time is usually 30-60 minutes. Numbing cream is optional but not usually required.

How many treatments will I need?

This depends on the treatment mode and the individual. Some people start to see results after just one treatment, however, for best results, the recommended treatment is a course of 3-6 sessions spaced ideally 4-6 weeks apart, with a treatment every 6 or 12 months thereafter. Open Channel treatments can be performed every 2-4 weeks.

Are there any Side effects and downtime?

This will depend on the level of your treatment. Your skin may feel tight, warm and slightly sensitive, as if you have been in the sun, with some mild swelling and redness 24-72 hours post treatment. For the Ablative treatments, your skin can remain pink to red for 2-3 days and a light brown micro crust will form for 7-10 days. For the lower intensity Open Channel treatment, you will be able to return to normal activity the following day. Tixel® around the mouth may trigger cold sores, this can be treated as you would normally treat an outbreak.

What about Aftercare?

You must avoid touching the treatment area, to minimize infection. You must not rub or pick at any micro-crusts as this could cause scarring or hyperpigmentation. These micro-crusts will lift away naturally by day 7-10.

Ablative treatments: We recommend application of TR Pro+ Post Procedure Aesthetic Gel. Avoid all active skin care products such as retinol, vitamin C, hydroquinine, salicylic acid and exfoliant face washes for 7 days post treatment. For the first 48 hours, you should avoid the sun and wear a physical barrier to protect your skin such as a wide rimmed hat and glasses. After 48 hours, it is important to apply a high factor sun cream daily. Your skin will glow after a week and tighten in 6 weeks.

Open Channel treatment: If using a mesotherapy treatment, apply regularly during the 6 hours post treatment (wash hands prior to application), together with TR Pro+ Post Procedure Aesthetic Gel. Sunscreen SPF 30-50 may be applied to the treated area 6 hours after treatment. Make-up can be worn 6 hours following treatment, however it is preferable to leave your skin clean. Avoid all active skin care products such as retinol, vitamin C, hydroquinine, salicylic acid and exfoliant face washes for 7 days after the treatment.
