Tixel® Skin & Eye Rejuvenation
What Does Tixel® Do:
Tixel® is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin and eyes using Thermo-Mechanical Action® (TMA). Unlike lasers or radiation-based devices, Tixel® employs a sterile titanium tip that delivers precise, controlled bursts of heat to targeted areas. This stimulates natural skin renewal and enhances eyelid gland function without damaging surrounding tissue.
Depending on your needs, Tixel® can:
- Relieve evaporative dry eye by restoring meibomian gland function
- Smooth wrinkles and fine lines
- Improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity
- Treat acne scars, stretch marks, and pigmentation issues
- Rejuvenate delicate areas like the eyelids, face, neck, décolleté, and hands
Who is Tixel® for:
Tixel® is FDA-approved and safe for all skin types, tones, and ages. It is ideal if you want:
- A non-invasive, low-downtime alternative to lasers or surgery
- Year-round treatment, even in summer climates
- Noticeable improvements in skin smoothness, tightness, and brightness
- Relief from symptoms of evaporative dry eye such as itching, burning, tearing, or eye fatigue
What to Expect from Tixel® Treatments:
- Treatment sessions are quick (skin sessions take minutes; dry eye sessions only 2 minutes for both eyes).
- A numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
- Patients typically experience only mild warmth or pressure.
Immediately after treatment
- Skin: temporary redness, swelling, or heat sensation for 2–3 hours.
- Micro-crusting may appear and fades in 2–3 days.
- Eyes: mild watering or blurry vision for a short time.
After results
- Smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin
- Improved eyelid function and significant reduction of dry eye symptoms

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Tixel® painful?
Tixel® treatments are well tolerated, with most patients describing only mild warmth or tingling. We use numbing agents to make it more comfortable.
How long is recovery?
Skin redness and mild swelling usually resolve within hours. Some micro-crusting may last 2–3 days. For dry eye treatments, you can resume normal activities immediately.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice improvements in skin texture or symptom relief after the first session, with optimal results after a full series of treatments.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes. Tixel® is FDA-approved for all ages, skin types, and tones, and can be used year-round.
How does it compare to lasers?
Tixel® delivers heat through direct contact without radiation, charring, or ablation, making it gentler and less invasive while still effective.
Who performs the treatment?
Only our optometrists treat the eyelids and orbital area as it is highly sensitive. Trained clinicians may assist with treating other areas such as the rest of the face and neck if desired.
