What Is Tixel®?
Tixel® is a cutting-edge skin resurfacing technology that uses proprietary Thermo-Mechanical Action (TMA) to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. It is FDA-cleared for skin rejuvenation and is an effective solution for reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, and enhancing overall tone and elasticity, without the use of lasers or needles.
Unlike traditional treatments, Tixel® gently delivers controlled heat through a titanium plate, making it ideal for patients seeking texture repair and collagen induction with minimal risk and downtime. It’s suitable for all skin types and can be customized for mild to moderate resurfacing needs.
This treatment is especially appealing to adults who want natural-looking improvements in skin quality without appearing to have undergone cosmetic work.
How Tixel® Works
Tixel® works by transferring precise thermal energy into the skin using a small, heated metal plate with matrix-style pyramids. When applied to the skin’s surface, the heat stimulates collagen remodeling and triggers a natural healing process, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned skin over time.
Because the treatment is non-ablative (meaning it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin), downtime is minimal, and the risk of side effects is lower than that of laser-based resurfacing.

Enhancing Tixel 2 with Growth Factors, Exosomes, and PDRN (Salmon Sperm)
For patients seeking optimal results, Tixel 2 can be combined with advanced regenerative boosters. These biologically active treatments not only enhance the skin-rejuvenating effects of Tixel but also support faster recovery and long-term improvements.
Growth Factors
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that signal cells to repair, regenerate, and produce collagen. Clinically, they accelerate wound healing and enhance dermal remodeling. For patients, this translates to smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a more radiant complexion.
Exosomes
Exosomes are nano-sized cellular messengers that deliver growth signals and anti-inflammatory molecules to the skin. Scientifically, they promote communication between cells, reduce inflammation, and stimulate tissue repair. Practically, patients experience quicker healing, reduced redness, and stronger anti-aging outcomes after Tixel treatments.
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide, derived from salmon sperm)
PDRN is a DNA fragment shown in studies to enhance tissue regeneration, increase blood flow, and improve skin hydration. It works on a molecular level to repair microdamage and stimulate fibroblasts. Patients notice brighter, plumper, and healthier-looking skin, making it an ideal complement to Tixel therapy.
The synergy of Tixel 2 with Growth Factors, Exosomes, or PDRN provides both scientific depth and visible beauty benefits , helping patients achieve faster recovery, stronger rejuvenation, and longer-lasting results.

What to Expect From Your Tixel® Treatment
Consultation
You’ll meet with Jenna Wordell, RN, BSN, LE to discuss your skin concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan. She will evaluate your skin’s condition and determine the ideal Tixel® settings for your goals.
Procedure Duration
A typical session takes 30–45 minutes depending on the treatment area. No anesthesia is required, although a topical numbing cream can be applied if desired.
Pain or Discomfort
Most patients describe Tixel® as a warm, prickling sensation. It’s significantly more comfortable than laser resurfacing, and many patients do not need numbing.
Recovery or Aftercare
You may experience mild redness or a sandpaper-like texture for 1 to 3 days. You’ll be given aftercare instructions and can resume most activities within 24–48 hours.
Results & Longevity
Most clients begin to notice noticeable improvements within 3 to 5 days after treatment, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen production increases.
For optimal results, a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance sessions, conducted every 6–12 months, help preserve long-term results, especially when combined with proper skincare and sun protection.
Want to extend your results? Consider adding SKINVIVE™ hydration injectables or Dysport® for fine lines to your treatment plan.
