WHAT IS tixel 2?
natural-looking rejuvenation
Tixel is a revolutionary, FDA-cleared skin rejuvenation treatment that uses controlled thermal energy to safely and effectively renew the skin’s surface. Unlike lasers or microneedling, Tixel 2 employs a unique non-invasive titanium tip that gently transfers heat to the skin, triggering collagen production and stimulating natural regeneration—without needles, radiation, or deep tissue injury.
As your skin responds, you’ll notice smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a refreshed, youthful glow, all with minimal discomfort and downtime.
This versatile treatment is ideal for addressing early to moderate signs of aging, including fine lines, crepey skin, enlarged pores, acne scarring, and mild laxity. Tixel can be used on the face, neck, eyelids, décolleté, and other delicate areas to achieve visible, natural-looking rejuvenation.
How is Tixel 2 different?
Tixel® 2 is an evolution
If you loved the original Tixel®, you’ll be thrilled with Tixel® 2 — the smarter, more advanced upgrade in skin renewal.
Like its predecessor, it uses cutting-edge thermo-mechanical energy (not lasers) to refresh skin and stimulate collagen. But now it’s engineered for greater precision, superior results, and unmatched comfort. Patients often notice treatments feel smoother, superior results, and come with faster recovery.
With next-level customization, Tixel® 2 adapts to your skin type, treatment area, and goals — from a subtle, radiant glow to a more dramatic resurfacing. Its redesigned tip also makes delicate areas like the eyes and mouth safer and more effective to treat.
Bottom line: Tixel® 2 is the future of non-laser skin rejuvenation — delivering superior results with more comfort, precision, and consistency than ever before.
