Tixel®
This is one of the most versatile skin rejuvenation treatments available, particularly well suited to delicate areas like the eyes where other energy based devices cannot safely be used. At Bella Sante MD in Saskatoon, Tixel therapy is fully customizable to your skin type, concerns and acceptable downtime, delivering effective results with less discomfort and quicker healing than many comparable treatments.
What Is Tixel?
Tixel is a thermal skin treatment that uses controlled heat energy to stimulate collagen production and improve the overall appearance of the skin. A small titanium plate embedded with 81 pyramid shaped pins delivers heat to the skin in a precise stamping pattern, creating micro channels that trigger collagen renewal and enhance the absorption of topical products.
Positioned between non-ablative and ablative laser procedures, Tixel offers effective resurfacing with reduced discomfort, minimal downtime and no need for eye protection, making it one of the few treatments suitable for the delicate skin around the eyes.
How Tixel Works
Tixel delivers controlled thermal energy to the skin in two distinct ways: stimulating collagen production for rejuvenation, and creating micro channels that enhance the absorption of topical treatments applied after the session. The titanium tip delivers heat without surface burns, and fully customizable settings allow treatment to be tailored to your skin condition, skin type and preferred downtime.
