Tixel (Thermal Energy Treatment) in Los Alamitos & Agoura Hills

How Does Tixel Work?

Tixel employs a controlled delivery of heat through a device with a specially designed titanium tip. The tip contains tiny, cone-shaped points that make brief contact with the skin, transferring thermal energy into the dermis without damaging the outer layer of skin. This heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.

The process also promotes skin tightening, improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and can be used to treat various skin conditions, such as acne scars, sun damage, and enlarged pores. Tixel can be adjusted for different skin concerns and is suitable for all skin types, offering a customizable treatment plan for each patient.

Benefits of Tixel Treatment:

1. Skin Rejuvenation: Tixel stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin. Fine lines and wrinkles can be softened, and skin tone can become more even.
2. Treatment of Acne Scars: Tixel can improve the appearance of acne scars by promoting skin renewal and improving texture.
3. Tightening and Lifting: The heat from Tixel causes a natural tightening effect, helping to firm sagging skin, especially around the eyes, mouth, and neck.
4. Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Tixel can help reduce rough or uneven skin texture, as well as the appearance of enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation.
5. Minimal Downtime: Unlike some other treatments, Tixel requires minimal downtime, with most patients returning to their daily activities within 24 to 48 hours.

What to Expect During Treatment:

Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. The treatment itself typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. During the procedure, you may feel a mild sensation of warmth or a slight prickling sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.

After the procedure, the treated area may appear red or slightly swollen, similar to mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Depending on your skin’s response, you may experience slight peeling or dryness within a few days.

Who is a Candidate for Tixel?

Tixel is suitable for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin, as it uses a lower intensity of heat compared to traditional laser treatments. It is ideal for individuals who are looking for skin rejuvenation, treatment of sun damage, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, or improvement in skin laxity. It’s also a great option for those looking to improve skin tone and texture with minimal downtime.

What to Expect After Treatment:

• Redness and Swelling: Some mild redness and swelling may occur immediately after the treatment but typically fades within a few hours.
• Skin Peeling: You may notice slight flaking or dryness in the days following the treatment, as new skin cells regenerate.
• Visible Results: Results will begin to show within a week, with more noticeable improvements seen over the next few weeks as collagen and elastin production continues.

Why Choose Tixel?

• Non-invasive: Tixel offers significant skin benefits without the need for injections or surgery.
