Tixel, Marion, Ohio

Smoother, rejuvenated, and younger looking skin is possible without breaking or penetrating the surface of the skin! Tixel treatment at Elite Medspa in Marion, Ohio is a new and innovative treatment, using thermal energy to heat the skin’s surface and stimulate collagen production and create micro channels in the skin to boost absorption of topical skincare products. Tixel is able to produce significant improvements in the skin such as fading acne scars, while also being gentle enough for use on all skin types and active acne.

Because Tixel is not an ablative treatment, there are no open wounds made during the procedure, allowing for easier and quicker recovery.

What is Tixel?

Tixel uses patented thermo-mechanical action technology (TMA) to deliver heat to the skin and stimulate collagen production. This provides an anti-aging effect, with improvements in the tone, texture, and elasticity of the skin among it’s many benefits. Because there is no injury caused to the skin during treatment, Tixel is ideal for those who are concerned of recovery times and pain. With less downtime and pain, the results are comparable to other methods of skin resurfacing.

The stimulated production of collagen will deliver continuous improvements to the skin with results that last upwards of a year after a series of treatments.

What to expect during treatment

An anesthetic cream is first applied to ensure comfort. After the numbing cream has taken effect, the Tixel device will be passed over the skin with rows of pyramid-like pins pressed into the skin, without breaking the surface of the skin or causing any open wounds. This delivers controlled delivery of heat to the skin with precision in where it’s placed.

Your treatment provider will adjust the levels of heating on the device depending on the skin concerns you desire to target. This is a quick and procedure lasting about 30 minutes, and is relatively painless.
