The Treatment That Revolutionised Treatments

  • The effects of Tixel treatment will vary according to the settings of the treatment.
  • There are three main settings: ablative, non-ablative and ‘open channel.
  • The most intensive treatment is ablative, then non-ablative, and open channel is the mildest.
  • It works in a similar way to laser resurfacing or a chemical peel by destroying damaged skin cells, encouraging new cell turnover and harnessing the skin’s natural healing process, but with a fraction of the trauma or downtime.
  • Just before the treatment, your skin will be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe. Once the machine has reached the operating temperature, the treatment can begin.
  • A small, hot metal plate (about 1x1cm) featuring tiny pyramidal shapes, will be applied to your skin repeatedly all over, until your entire face has been treated.
  • Each time the plate touches your face, it will only come into contact with the skin for between 6 and 18 thousandths of a second.
  • This is so quick that even before your nerves can register the heat, the hot metal plate will have been withdrawn. Treating your entire face usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
