Tixel for Skin Rejuvenation

Tixel® utilizes radiant heat to rejuvenate the skin, reduce laxity, and repair sun damage. It enhances overall complexion, boosts luminosity, refines fine lines and texture, and can thicken and tighten thin skin.
Tixel is a low-risk procedure with minimal downtime, making it suitable for the entire face, including the eyelids, neck, and décolletage—areas traditionally difficult to improve. It can be used on all skin types and any body area.
Compared to other devices, Tixel offers numerous advantages. As a non-ablative device, it requires minimal social downtime (typically 1-3 days of redness). The risk of adverse effects such as scarring, burns, and post-inflammatory pigmentation is significantly lower than with ablative lasers.
Tixel® is our preferred device for non-surgical eye rejuvenation, effective on both the upper and lower eyelids. It is ideal for treating thin, crepey skin, skin laxity, or for preventing signs of aging around the eyes. Tixel is also an excellent treatment to use before or after eyelid surgery to maintain healthy skin and preserve surgical results.
Additionally, Tixel can be set to less intensive levels to address clinical issues by infusing medical products into the skin. This emerging and exciting field opens new avenues for treating conditions such as acne, hypopigmentation, rosacea, and wrinkles without the need for needles.

What Is Tixel?

Tixel uses a combination of heat and motion to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and tighten skin with less downtime than traditional fractional resurfacing lasers like Fraxel®. Its unique Thermo-Mechanical Action (TMA®) technology not only improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but also treats active acne and scarring from acne and other injuries.

Due to this combination of heat and motion, Tixel is safe for use on sensitive skin and can even be applied near the eyes.

Tixel employs a handpiece with a 1 cm medical-grade titanium plate containing 81 pyramid-shaped pins arranged in a grid pattern to deliver thermal energy to the skin. The super-charged tip heats to 400° C and is applied to the skin using a stamping technique that provides short bursts of heat. The high heat and titanium structure of the Tixel handpiece makes it self-sterilizing, ensuring safe and efficient treatment.

The thermal energy from the sterile titanium tip creates micro-thermal zones of fractional injuries in the skin, triggering the natural healing process to generate new collagen, resulting in smoother, softer, and tighter skin.

What Is a Tixel Treatment Like?

To prepare for your Tixel treatment, follow these steps to achieve the best possible results:

  • Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before and after your treatment. Use mineral- or physical-based sunscreens daily to protect your skin.
  • Inform your provider of all medications, including oral supplements.
  • Disclose any medical history of herpes simplex (cold sores), keloids, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled diabetic complications, bleeding disorders, collagen vascular diseases, or immunosuppressive disorders.
  • Start anti-viral medication 1 day prior to treatment if you have a history of herpes simplex (cold sores).
  • Notify your provider if you have taken Isotretinoin/Accutane within 6 months of treatment.
  • Avoid Tixel treatment if you are pregnant, as it has not been studied in pregnant women.

On the day of your procedure, arrive with a clean face—no makeup, creams, or lotions. Ensure the treatment area is free of hair by shaving beforehand. If your treatment includes the area around your eyes, bring glasses or an extra pair of contact lenses.

During the Treatment

A Tixel treatment lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Your provider will clean and dry your skin before the procedure. They may apply a prescription numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment well with minimal discomfort.

During the procedure, you will feel mild heat and pressure as the handpiece is passed over your skin multiple times, depending on the severity of the skin condition and your goals.

After the Treatment

For the first few hours to a few days post-treatment, you may experience a warm sensation, redness, and swelling similar to a mild sunburn. You should not experience any peeling or blistering.

Your skin may display a grid-like pattern and feel “sandy” for 3 to 5 days, followed by mild flaking as new skin replaces the old. Small scabs or scratches may appear and typically clear within 4 to 5 days.

Post-Treatment Care

After 5 days, you can resume your usual skincare routine. It is recommended to use minimal retinol, antioxidants, and sun protection to maintain your results. Your provider will recommend a post-treatment skincare routine to support optimal healing and ensure the best possible outcomes.

What does it cost?

Full Face and Neck: $1,800
Spot Treatments: $300
3 treatments are necessary for best result –
3 to 6 weeks apart.

Packages are available for 3-5 sessions, contact us for pricing.

As someone who prioritizes self care and beauty, I couldn’t be more pleased with the expertise of Elmira. Elmira is a true professional who has displayed her gifted artistry on my face with her incredible and detailed knowledge of the skin, as well as the products that exist in todays market. Elmira recommended the Ombre Brow for my skin type. She has lifted my eyes with her precision of customizing my brows to fit my eye shape and facial structure. I now have an AMAZING arch and shade so that my eyes stand out. Most importantly I feel great with my new brows! Thank you for making me feel beautiful Elmira. I highly recommend Elmira Studio and will be her exclusive client for life.

After searching a good amount of Microbladding options I found Elmira Studio. She is professional, personable and incredibly detailed when she is doing her work. She has an incredible sense of facial proportions and how she draws eyebrows to fit your face is truly a work of art. There are so many options out there, but when it comes to your face you should go to someone that is passionate about her work. Elmira Studio is passionate and so much more. A true Gem.

I am blessed to have run into Elmira on Instagram, she did powder brows on my eyebrows about 6 weeks ago and I could not be happier. When I came in to have the service done I was very nervous, but Elmira’s expertise put my mind at ease. She gave me some suggestions as to making my eyebrows a little longer than they were (to open me eye up) and a little darker (enhance eye color) I was hesitant at first but agreed. Her advice was spot on it was a minor tuning I did not know I needed. I went to dinner and my friends kept complementing me saying I looked really great and they could not pin point what exactly was different but I just looked enhanced and renewed. My girlfriend laughed and said I looked like I was walking around with a filter on. The bottom line is without Elmira went above and beyond my expectations for my eyebrows and I can not thank her enough. Our next step is to smooth out my crows feet around my eye and treat some hyperpigmentation on my left side of my face which happens a lot in LA because we Commute.

I read lots of reviews and decided to give Elmira a shot. I was so scared to get my brows done, since it’s on my face!!! When you barely have brows, it’s a game changer! Her reviews and before/after photos were incredible. I cannot express how warm and welcoming Elmira is. She makes you feel comfortable, and she goes above and beyond! I have been back for multiple services and have been happy with them all! ❤️

Through her expertise, Elmira worked her magic to define, color, and fill in my woefully out of shape eyebrows through microblading. Elmira is also extremely knowledgeable in current methods of facial treatments and makes excellent suggestions. She recently performed micro-channeling on my face and neck with a great result. I will definitely use Elmira for future treatments and I enthusiastically recommend her.

I went to see Elmira with my eyebrows and she did a wonderful job. She explained everything, was so patient and caring about all of my concerns. I also had sun spots on my hands which have been really bothering me and she magically removed them all with her plasma pen. It wasn’t painful and I got very quick results. She was very clear about the aftercare for both treatments, which I stuck to religiously to get the best results. My husband was so pleased with my results that he scheduled an appointment to get his sun spots removed as well. Thank you Elmira for taking such good care of both of us! You’re a true gem!

Elmira is the best! All you have to do is look at her skin to know that she knows what she’s doing. It’s absolutely beautiful and she could not be a sweeter person. I went to her for what I thought was going to be a basic facial only to find out she customizes everything based on what you want and the shape your skin is it it’s not just a 30 or 60 minute facial and everyone gets the same thing. I also did her Tixel treatments which were amazing, not like a typical laser which can cause a lot of pain during and after and a long downtime as well as the potential to scar you. This uses heat and it is amazing. It did a great job on my fine lines and my sun damage. I am super picky and I would recommend her for her facials, her Microblading, and pretty much any treatment she offers. I love her!

This was an incredible experience! Elmira was so welcoming, and her studio is such a relaxing and comfortable environment. Just a few days after my very first session, I’ve seen amazing differences in the smoothness and pigmentation of my skin. I expressed to Elmira that I was struggling with small bumps and acne scars, and she was very knowledgeable in explaining and tailoring my treatment to meet my needs. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

I had problematic skin growing up. I had a lot of acne on my back, which I picked at all the time, causing potholes, discoloration and scars all over my back. I never felt comfortable exposing my back because of it. I did two peels with Elmira and all the discoloration, potholes and scars have decreased significantly. It’s unbelievable! I never thought I could feel comfortable exposing my back but her treatments have proven otherwise. What I like most is she does natural peels without any harsh chemicals, and it has worked wonders on my skin. She’s given me new hope for my skin and confidence to show my back after many years of believing it wouldn’t be possible. If you have scars and feel insecure about your skin, this is the place to go. She’s professional and knows what’s she’s doing. I can’t recommend her enough! You will walk away with renewed confidence!
