What must I do Before and After my Treatment?

After Tixel treatment, skin is slightly swollen and red for 3 to 4 days. Patients experience mild erythema and heat sensation for 2 to 5 days. Downtime from 2-7 days depending on treatment intensity. Micro-crusting appears the next day but this can be covered up with make-up until it disappears after a few days. For optimized results, the treatment provider may wish to recommend a home care routine.

INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE TIXEL

• Assessment is firstly undertaken by the treatment provider to check suitability and match expectations. Treating tanned skin is not recommended.

WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE TREATMENT

Tixel® applies natural heat directly to the skin, with facial treatment typically lasting around 20 minutes. Treatment is radiation-free, and there is no smoke, bleeding or skin charring. Analgesic cream may not be required at low-medium settings as treatment is comfortable with minimal pain sensation.

POST PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS:

• After treatment, skin is slightly swollen and red for 3 to 4 hours. Patients experience mild erythema and heat sensation for 2 to 3 hours. After treatment skin is slightly swollen and red for 3 to 4 days.
• Patients experience mild erythema and heat sensation for 2 to 5 days.
• Micro-crusting will appear the following day but by day 3 you will notice minute brown scabs and a white grid in places. This can be covered up with make-up and SPF after 48 hours until it disappears after 7-10 days. For optimized results, your therapist will recommend a home care routine which entails growth factors and healing agents which rebuild the skins barrier function.
