Tixel
Ready for a skin reset? Meet Tixel.
At EVOLV Plastic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics in Toledo, Tixel is one of our go-to treatments for improving texture, tone, fine lines, pores, and visible sun damage with minimal downtime.
Unlike a traditional laser, Tixel uses thermo-mechanical energy, combining controlled heat with tiny contact points to create precise microchannels in the skin. This kickstarts your skin’s natural renewal process and encourages fresh collagen production without using needles or laser energy.
The result? Smoother texture, softer fine lines, more refined pores, and brighter, healthier-looking skin that continues to improve over time.
Tixel can be used on the face, neck, and other areas of the body, with treatments customized based on your skin and what you want to improve.
Think of it as controlled heat, fresh collagen, and a really good skin refresh.
THE PROCEDURE
What It Is
No needles. No laser. Just controlled heat doing some very smart things for your skin.
Tixel uses thermo-mechanical technology to deliver precise, controlled heat to the skin through a medical-grade titanium tip. This creates tiny treatment zones that kickstart your skin’s natural renewal process and encourage fresh collagen and elastin production.
Those temporary microchannels can also enhance the delivery of carefully selected topical products used as part of your treatment protocol, giving your EVOLV provider another way to customize your skin treatment.
Because Tixel doesn’t use laser energy, it can be especially useful for treating delicate areas like around the eyes, as well as the face, neck, and décolleté. Treatments can be adjusted based on your skin, concerns, and desired downtime.
Think smoother texture, softer fine lines, firmer-looking skin, and a fresh-skin glow that continues to develop as your skin gets to work.
How It Works
Controlled heat. Customized to your skin.
Tixel uses a medical-grade titanium tip to deliver short, precise pulses of heat to the skin, triggering its natural renewal response and encouraging fresh collagen and elastin production.
At the same time, Tixel creates temporary microchannels in the skin, which can enhance the delivery of carefully selected topical products used as part of your treatment.
Everything from treatment intensity to the areas we target can be customized based on your skin and goals. The result? Smoother texture, improved tone, firmer-looking skin, and a refreshed complexion with minimal downtime.
Smart technology. Better skin. Simple as that.
