Tixel® Skin Rejuvenation

Tixel is a non-laser, thermo-mechanical treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone and firmness by delivering controlled heat to the skin's surface.
At Allure Derma, Tixel is used to support skin rejuvenation in a way that is effective yet gentle — with less downtime than many traditional resurfacing treatments.
​
Tixel is suitable for a range of skin concerns and can be used on sensitive areas such as the eyelids, neck and décolletage.
​
What Tixel May Help With
Tixel may be considered for individuals seeking non-surgical support for concerns such as:
-
Fine lines and mild wrinkles
-
Loss of firmness or skin laxity
-
Uneven texture or tone
-
Enlarged pores
-
Mild scarring, including acne scarring
-
Periorbital skin concerns (around the eyes)
-
General skin revitalisation
Tixel can be used on the face, neck, chest, eyelids, and hands, with treatment plans tailored to your skin type, concern, and sensitivity.
​
How Tixel Works
Tixel uses a sterile titanium tip to briefly deliver heat to the skin in a controlled pattern. This thermal stimulation encourages natural collagen production and cell turnover, promoting gradual skin renewal.
Unlike laser or radiofrequency treatments, Tixel does not emit light or radiation, and the skin is not ablated or vaporised. This makes it a gentler option for some skin types, with reduced risk of pigment disruption.
​
What to Expect
Tixel treatments are customised in intensity depending on the treatment area and desired outcomes. Recovery may involve mild redness, warmth, or light crusting, which typically resolves within 3–5 days.
A series of sessions is usually recommended for optimal results.

​
What aftercare is required?
