TIXEL has created quite a buzz in the aesthetic scientific community… so, let’s find out what all the excitement is about and see if it’s warranted!

With all these non-surgical and surgical options available at EVOLV, why would we ever need or consider another device or technology for treating lines, wrinkles, and aging skin?

Before considering another technology or device for our patients, we at EVOLV believe that we must answer several fundamental questions:

• Is it safe?
• Does it work?
• Is it reliable?
• Is it affordable?
• Does it improve results over other options?
• Is it well tolerated, comfortable, and with less or acceptable downtime?

After vetting considerable research and personal testing, the remarkable and unique thing about TIXEL is that it provides a resounding ‘yes’ answer to all of the above questions! So, let’s find out why there is so much excitement and buzz in the aesthetic professional community about the TIXEL.

What exactly is TIXEL?

TIXEL is an FDA-cleared and novel skin rejuvenation system that uses a proprietary method of energy delivery (‘thermo-mechanical’) to the skin to reduce aged or damaged surface cells and stimulate a substantial increase in collagen, elastin, and other natural cellular products associated with youthful skin. The other major benefit of TIXEL treatment is a temporary creation of open ‘micro-channels’ on the skin’s surface, which allow the increased absorption of topically applied growth factors, exosomes, and other therapeutic skin care products, resulting in a significant increase in healing and long-term youthful skin rejuvenation. TIXEL uses a sterile, medical-grade titanium tip, does not cause any burning or charring, nor emit any radiation or cause any puncture or visible skin wounds.

How does TIXEL work?

TIXEL uses a sterile titanium tip embedded with 81 micro-pyramids to deliver controlled thermo-mechanical energy to the skin’s surface, without needles, lasers, or invasive skin penetration. This precise energy delivery stimulates regeneration while minimizing trauma and downtime. TIXEL treatment can be customized using three settings based on your skin needs and goals. The Open Channel mode gently creates micro-channels to enhance the absorption of growth factors and advanced skincare products. The Fractional (non-ablative) setting delivers moderate rejuvenation by treating targeted zones while leaving surrounding skin intact for quicker recovery. The Ablative mode offers the most intensive resurfacing, promoting deep collagen remodeling, skin tightening, and noticeable overall rejuvenation.

What does TIXEL treat?

It should be emphasized that at EVOLV, our experience shows that a personalized skincare program before and after any aesthetic treatment, including TIXEL, is essential for achieving optimal results. A customized regimen supports healthier skin function, enhances Tixel before and after improvements, minimizes complications, and helps maintain long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation.

How is TIXEL different from other options for improving fine lines, wrinkles, and skin tone?

TIXEL is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation technology that delivers high levels of controlled thermal energy to the skin without burning or invasive penetration. Because the energy is delivered superficially yet effectively, treatments are typically more comfortable with reduced downtime. Unlike laser or light-based devices, TIXEL uses no chemicals or radiation, making it safe for treating fine lines on delicate areas such as the eyelids and around the eyes. Treatments can be performed in a series and combined with other aesthetic procedures to further enhance results. Additionally, TIXEL treatments are often more cost-effective and involve considerably less downtime than many comparable resurfacing options, offering a powerful yet gentle approach to visible skin rejuvenation.

Who can benefit from TIXEL treatments?

TIXEL is considered safe for all skin types and can be used to rejuvenate the face, neck, and body. At EVOLV, each patient begins with a medical history review, physical examination, and photo documentation by a qualified professional provider, nurse, or licensed aesthetician to determine whether TIXEL is the most appropriate treatment for their goals and skin concerns. TIXEL is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and treatment should be postponed if there are active cold sores, infections, or untreated skin conditions in the planned treatment area.

What are the major advantages of  TIXEL treatments?

TIXEL is FDA-cleared and backed by clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness in skin rejuvenation. It is safe for all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and body. Treatments are well tolerated with minimal discomfort, often supported by a topical numbing cream before the procedure. As a non-surgical, in-office treatment, TIXEL offers noticeable improvement with little to no downtime. For best results, a series of 3–6 treatments is typically recommended, followed by an annual maintenance program to enhance and prolong outcomes.

How much does a TIXEL session cost?

TIXEL treatments are generally affordable and comparable in cost to other non-surgical aesthetic procedures, though pricing can vary based on individual needs. Factors that influence cost include the size and number of treatment areas, the total time required per session, and the specific post-treatment skincare products recommended to support healing and enhance results. At EVOLV, all fees and treatment plan details are clearly discussed and reviewed with each patient before scheduling, ensuring transparency and confidence in the recommended program.

What to expect during a TIXEL session?

What to expect after a TIXEL session?

Most patients notice a warm or mild “sunburn” sensation for several hours after a TIXEL treatment. Redness and slight swelling may occur for a few days, depending on the treatment intensity. While peeling or blistering is uncommon, it is normal to experience light “micro-crusting” that typically resolves within 3–5 days. Medical-grade sunscreen should be applied immediately after treatment, and makeup can usually be worn after about 48 hours, allowing the skin to heal comfortably while maintaining daily routines.

How to get the best results from TIXEL therapy?

As with all aesthetic treatments, preparing the skin with a personalized, professional skincare program is important for achieving the best results with TIXEL, both before and after each session. While many patients notice improvement after just one treatment, a series of 3–6 sessions is typically recommended for optimal rejuvenation. Your EVOLV professional may also recommend topical growth factors, exosomes, or other medical-grade skincare products to enhance healing and extend your results. TIXEL outcomes can be further improved and prolonged when combined with complementary aesthetic treatments such as injectable neuromodulators (like Botox), dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser therapies, or pulsed light treatments such as Forever Young BBL.

The TIXEL is a revolutionary device, and all of us at EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics in Toledo are excited to introduce this technology to our patients. We have reviewed many scientific and clinical studies and publications that support the efficacy, safety, and science of the TIXEL. We have also tested the TIXEL on our staff at EVOLV and evaluated the outcomes before introducing these treatments for our patient care. Our belief at EVOLV has always been that the most important factor in the application or treatment of any aesthetic product, procedure, or service is the education, training, credentials, and experience of the provider, and this is especially true for TIXEL treatments as well. We have been particularly impressed with the improvement in fine lines and texture of the upper and lower eyelids and crow’s feet, as well as those around the mouth, with a series of TIXEL sessions. The other exciting potential is combining appropriate additional aesthetic treatments such as neuromodulators (BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin), injectable fillers, and laser or light therapy, such as BBL and medical skin ca,r e to provide more comprehensive, long-lasting, and natural results in healthy skin rejuvenation.
