Tixel Skin Resurfacing Treatment Specialist in El Dorado Hills, CA

Tixel skin resurfacing is a newer skin rejuvenation treatment that uses non-invasive laser and heat beams to provide beautiful, youthful-looking skin. Tixel is a non-ablative treatment and is becoming increasingly popular even though it is still new for use in the US. Many clients and skin care professionals are turning to Tixel as an incredible option for those who wish to treat fine lines and wrinkles, forehead lines, lip lines, crow’s feet, age spots, damage that has been done by the sun, active acne and acne scars, pore size, and looser skin on the eyelids. It has also been shown to provide quality results on other body parts such as the knees, arms, and abdomen.

Unlike many of the other skin resurfacing options that are available on the market, Tixel is non-invasive and uses zero chemicals to provide natural and beautiful results. It works through the use of titanium tips that are heated to 400°C and penetrate the skin only through thermal energy. This heat energy creates channels in the upper dermal layer to stimulate collagen production, which is the chemical we naturally produce (less is produced as we age) that keeps our skin looking plump, smooth, and therefore, youthful.

The results provided after one Tixel treatment will take up to 10 days to fully develop, but clients can expect to see small improvements in their skin as it heals throughout that timeline. After one treatment, within those 10 days clients will start to notice a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and a more even overall tone to the skin. The results will continue to develop, with the final results of the treatment being seen after 4 to 6 weeks. Many clients will opt to receive anywhere from 3 to 6 treatments total, with at least 4 weeks in between treatments to allow the skin to heal entirely, in order to attain their desired results. Once the first set of treatments is complete, it is recommended to go in for maintenance treatments once every 6 to 12 months to ensure the longevity of the results.

Since the Tixel treatments use thermal energy to stimulate collagen production, it is completely normal and expected to feel as if you have gotten a sunburn on the skin that was treated, likely feeling a little hot for the first couple of hours following the appointment. Additionally, most clients will experience some redness for several days after the treatment, will be recommended to avoid applying makeup to the treated skin for at least 48 hours, and will likely be recommended some aftercare skin products from the specialist.

As the skin is healing over the coming weeks, it is vital to ensure that the skin is fully protected from UV rays, so it will require strong SPF if you will be outside in daylight for at least three weeks after, but is always recommended to prevent further damage to the skin. As well, while clients should not expect to develop blistering or peeling as is normal for many other treatments, it is common after receiving Tixel to develop some micro-crusting, which is small scabbing that should go away within 4 to 5 days.
