Tixel

Common Areas Treated:

• Periocular (eyes) – Great for the fine lines and loose/crepey skin around the eyes. (10 minutes)
• Perioral (mouth) – For the superficial to medium depth “smokers lines” around the mouth (10 minutes)
• Full face – to help with overall skin quality, fine lines, pigmentation, and some redness (20-30 minutes)
• Neck – to improve the superficial fine lines and pigmentation (10-15 minutes)
• Acne scars – to improve superficial rolling and boxcar scars in all skin types

There is 1-3 days of mild redness without any discomfort. For ~45 minutes, your skin feels extremely warm but that is calmed with a soothing LED (LightStim or Healite) treatment in our office. At 3-4 days, there is some mild “coffee ground” flaking of the skin.

To optimize results, topical application of Rion Plated Science is recommended immediately afterwards and during the healing phase.

Tixel is also a treatment to produce channels in the skin to allow better penetration of skin treatments. Studies have shown these channels persist for 24 hours, longer than channels created from microneedling, RF microneedling, non-ablative lasers, and ablative lasers.
