What to Expect

Time to allow: 60 minutes

• Before: Stop retinol and exfoliants 3 days prior. If you are prone to cold sores, take medication prior.

• During: Topical anesthetic is applied for 30 minutes prior to your treatment. Most people feel a slight heat stamping sensation during the procedure. The device can be adjusted to provide the best experience possible.

• After: The treated area will be warm, slightly tender, and pink gradually subsides over the next 4 hours. You will look like you have a sunburn that lasts about 24 hours. After 24 hours, you will be able to apply make-up as usual and the skin will appear slightly pink. Some people have mild flaking of skin 3-4 days after the treatment.

• Follow-up: Results can be seen shortly after the first treatment, but for skin rejuvenation, we recommend 3 treatments, scheduled once every 4 to 6 weeks, followed by one to two maintenance treatments within the year. If you are treating a more difficult issue, like acne scarring, it may take more treatments.

FAQ

How is Tixel different from an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)?

Tixel is not a light-based treatment like IPL. This system transfers less heat to the surrounding tissues than IPL, so it is safe to use in patients with dark skin and melasma.

How is Tixel different from microneedling and RF microneedling?

Tixel is non-invasive, whereas microneedling treatments with and without RF are invasive. Additionally, both providers and patients report more visible tightening and wrinkle reduction with Tixel when compared to microneedling with or without RF.

How is Tixel different from a fractional ablative laser?

Tixel is not a laser. At higher settings, providers report similar results to their fractional ablative lasers. With the Tixel, the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) remains intact, making it an easier recovery with significantly less downtime. Patients have no oozing or bleeding and report significantly less swelling. Additionally, Tixel patients can apply sunscreen and makeup just 24 hours post-treatment, allowing patients to return to normal activities quickly and without visible wound healing.

How much downtime after Tixel treatment?

Because the outermost layer of the skin remains intact after Tixel treatment, downtime is minimal. Of course, lower settings result in less downtime than more aggressive settings. Individual responses will vary based on settings used, patient genetic factors, compliance with post-care instructions, and overall skin health. Patients may wear makeup after 24 hours, and most return to normal activity (including social interaction and work) within hours post-treatment.

What post-care is recommended with Tixel?

After a Tixel treatment, patients should plan for 24 hours of being out of the sun as much as possible. Wear a hat for any time spent outside. No heavy exercise, no Jacuzzis or saunas, and refrain from putting any skincare products on the skin, except for what your provider recommends. After the 24-hour period, patients may use gentle cleanser to wash their skin, as well as apply a light moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup. Refrain from using any skincare products with active ingredients for up to a week post-treatment.
