About this Treatment

TIXEL

TIXEL is a new, non-surgical technology that uses a unique method of energy delivery (THERMO-MECHANICAL) to treat skin conditions like wrinkles, lines, sun damage, age spots, large pores, and stretch marks. TIXEL is the latest non-surgical fractional skin rejuvenation system that utilizes a proprietary form of energy delivery to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and globally improve the appearance of aging or damaged skin on the face, neck, and body. Tixel before and after results often include smoother texture, refined pores, and a more refreshed, youthful appearance.

This innovative skin rejuvenation treatment stimulates natural collagen production, improving texture, tone, and clarity with minimal discomfort or downtime. Safe for all skin types, it effectively addresses signs of aging without the risks of invasive procedures. Patients enjoy a smoother, more radiant complexion and can return to daily activities quickly.

What is TIXEL?

TIXEL treatment is an FDA-cleared and new 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, healthy skin. Many patients searching for Tixel treatment near me are drawn to its ability to create temporary micro-channels in the skin, enhancing the absorption of bioactive topical products such as growth factors, exosomes, and other advanced skincare formulations. This combination promotes faster healing and long-term skin rejuvenation without the burning, charring, or punctures associated with more aggressive resurfacing treatments. TIXEL uses a sterile, medical-grade titanium tip, emits no radiation, and leaves no visible wounds, making it a comfortable, low-downtime option for noticeably smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Unlike lasers, this skin rejuvenation system delivers energy through direct contact, gently heating the skin without breaking its surface. The result is a non-invasive treatment that revitalizes delicate areas such as the eyelids, neck, and décolleté with minimal downtime. Its precision and safety make it a trusted choice for patients seeking effective, low-risk improvements in skin texture and tone. By stimulating collagen and enhancing topical product absorption, this advanced procedure offers smoother, firmer skin without visible wounds or extended recovery.

How It Works

TIXEL in Toledo works by applying a sterile titanium tip to the skin, which transfers short bursts of controlled heat deep into the dermis. This thermo-mechanical action encourages the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. The heat also opens micro-channels, increasing the efficacy of topical treatments such as growth factors, exosomes, and serums. The procedure is precisely controlled to target your unique skin concerns while maintaining maximum safety and comfort. This collagen induction method enhances facial rejuvenation results while avoiding the risks commonly associated with laser skin resurfacing.

What It Treats

  • Fines lines and wrinkles
  • General skin aging and sun damage
  • Skin tone and texture, large pores
  • Age spots and excess pigmentation, melasma
  • Stretch marks and superficial acne scars
  • In addition to smoothing wrinkles and reducing pigmentation, this advanced resurfacing treatment rejuvenates dull skin and enhances overall clarity. It’s an excellent option for those seeking refreshed, youthful skin without downtime. The treatment is safe for delicate areas like the under-eyes and around the lips where many other technologies fall short. Its versatility allows for effective care across a range of concerns, including melasma and stretch marks, making it ideal for patients of all ages who want visible, lasting results without surgery.

How TIXEL Works

Step 01.

A topical numbing or anesthetic cream will be recommended to be applied to the cleansed intended area 1 hour before treatment to minimize discomfort. This preparation step is essential for maximizing comfort and ensuring a more relaxing experience throughout the procedure. The numbing agent works to dull the nerve endings temporarily, allowing the TIXEL device to deliver thermal energy without causing significant irritation or pain. 

Step 02.

Depending on the size and planned areas for treatment, each session will take between 30 and 90 minutes. The team at EVOLV ensures your experience is comfortable from start to finish. Your provider will walk you through the process and make real-time adjustments to address your unique skin needs. The environment is calm and supportive, giving you full confidence in your care and the results ahead. 

Step 03.

As the TIXEL is applied to the skin, a warm sensation may be experienced and is usually very well tolerated. Throughout the procedure, your provider ensures each application is precise and even. This care minimizes post-treatment irritation and helps create balanced, visible improvements in your skin’s texture and tone. 

Step 04.

Depending on treatment goals and skin condition, more or less aggressive settings will be utilized and are precisely controlled. Your treatment is fully customizable. Based on your skin type and goals, the provider will adjust the intensity to ensure the best outcome with minimal side effects. Gentle settings are used for more sensitive areas, while stronger energy levels can target deeper wrinkles or sun damage. This individualized approach ensures consistent, safe results across the entire treatment area. 

Step 05.

Topical growth factors, exosomes, or other medical-grade skincare products will be recommended to enhance results and can be applied at the completion of treatment to maximize results and reduce redness and downtime. Thanks to the open micro-channels in the skin, these products are absorbed more deeply, enhancing the rejuvenating effects. This final step also helps reduce redness and speeds up recovery. By combining science-backed ingredients with precision treatment, you’ll see better, longer-lasting improvements in skin quality.
