Tixel
A non-laser thermal resurfacing treatment designed to refresh texture, fine lines and overall skin quality.
Tixel uses thermo-mechanical technology: a heated metal tip briefly contacts the skin to transfer controlled thermal energy in a fractional pattern. The treatment can be customized to different intensities depending on the goal and treatment area.
