What is Tixel® Skin Resurfacing?

Tixel® uses Thermo-Mechanical Action (TMA®), a cutting-edge technology that transfers controlled heat through a titanium tip to the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing response.

This process:

Gently treats the outer skin layers
Stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen remodeling
Improves skin elasticity, tone, and texture
Enhances absorption of topical skincare post-treatment

The Tixel® procedure does not rely on light or radiation, making it safer for almost all skin tones and ideal for sensitive treatment zones, such as around the eyes.
