TIXEL®
Tixel® treatment uses controlled thermal energy to treat fine lines, skin texture and rejuvenate the skin's surface. A heated pyramid-spiked metallic plate is stamped onto the skin to deliver short bursts of heat energy. This stimulates a natural healing response, prompting collagen production and skin tightening. Effective for treating wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin texture and sun damage.
