Tixel Treatment Explained: How It Works and Who Can Benefit

At Northern California Wellness, we strive to provide our patients with the most cutting-edge treatments available. One such treatment is the Tixel procedure, a groundbreaking cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the skin. This cutting-edge procedure employs heat radiation to assist the body’s natural healing process and promote the production of elastin and collagen, two proteins necessary to preserve the firmness, elasticity, and youthful appearance of the skin.

Our Tixel treatment involves the use of a specialized device fitted with a heated titanium tip. This tip creates tiny microchannels in the skin, triggering a natural wound-healing response. As the body repairs these micro-abrasions, it speeds up the generation of fresh, healthy skin cells, giving the face a smoother, more radiant appearance.

The Tixel treatment also improves the skin’s ability to absorb topical treatments, meaning any creams or serums applied to the skin after treatment will be more effective. This further enhances the rejuvenating effects of the procedure.

Numerous skin issues can be efficiently addressed with Tixel, including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, acne scarring, age spots, and uneven skin tone. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically painless, with most patients only experiencing a mild warming sensation.

The Tixel technology employs cutting-edge thermo-mechanical action (TMA) and fractional radiofrequency microneedling to rejuvenate the skin. Unlike lasers and radio frequency treatments that use light or electromagnetic waves, Tixel uses a safer and more comfortable method, heat. This process stimulates the natural healing process of the skin, resulting in the formation of fresh elastin and collagen.

At our med spa, we understand the importance of precision in treatments. The heated titanium tip of Tixel has a grid of tiny pyramids that transfer heat to the skin’s surface. This allows for precise control over the treatment, making it adaptable to each patient’s needs.

Tixel treatment can be used for various skin conditions, such as acne scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation disorders. It can also be used on other body sections, especially the delicate skin surrounding the lips and eyes. Its versatility makes it a helpful addition to the list of therapeutic options.

One of the main advantages of the Tixel treatment is its minimal downtime. Following a Tixel session, patients can typically resume their normal activities right after it, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

The treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who show signs of skin aging and damage, such as sun damage, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. It has also proven effective for those battling with acne scars or other textural irregularities and for those with rough, dull, or uneven skin tone.

Many of Dr. Cheree Dunbar’s patients have busy schedules, and they find Tixel treatment convenient due to minimal downtime. It enables them to resume their regular activities almost immediately. Also, patients who prefer non-invasive procedures find Tixel an excellent option, as this treatment doesn’t involve injections or surgical procedures.

Additionally, individuals who have tried topical treatments without satisfactory results have found Tixel treatment more effective. The treatment enhances the penetration of topical skincare products, making them more effective.

Most skin tones and types can use Tixel. Therefore, before proceeding with the treatment, we ensure a thorough consultation to assess patients’ skin conditions and medical history to determine if Tixel is the right treatment for them. Dr. Cheree Dunbar’s primary goal is to ensure the overall wellness of her patients, providing personalized care for each one.

Tixel treatment effectively addresses a broad spectrum of skin concerns, minimizing wrinkles and fine lines, especially those around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. This is accomplished by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that preserve the firmness and suppleness of the skin.

Tixel is also an excellent treatment option for those battling acne and acne scarring. The heat generated by the system destroys acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation and the frequency of breakouts. Furthermore, the treatment promotes the skin’s natural healing process, smoothing acne scars and other textural irregularities.

We also recommend Tixel treatment for individuals experiencing problems with skin pigmentation, such as age spots, UV damage, and melasma. Tixel targets melanin-producing cells, efficiently encouraging a more even skin tone and reducing the visibility of skin discoloration. 

If you have large pores and oily skin, Tixel’s thermal energy can help shrink enlarged pores and regulate sebum production, improving the texture of your skin. It’s also effective in treating skin laxity by providing a lifting effect and reducing sagging, especially in the cheeks, jawline, and neck.

Rosacea patients can also benefit from the gentle nature of Tixel treatment, as it helps reduce inflammation and redness, minimizing the appearance of broken capillaries and blemishes. Given its versatility and effectiveness, Tixel rejuvenates the skin without causing significant pain or downtime.
