When it comes to skin tightening, resurfacing, and contouring, most people think of lasers, microneedling, or injectables. But there’s a new, highly effective technology that can improve skin laxity, fine lines, and even stubborn fat deposits—without the pain or downtime of traditional treatments.

Meet Tixel, a breakthrough non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that tightens, smooths, and sculpts with minimal downtime. Whether you’re looking to lift your eyelids, refine your jawline, or tighten sagging skin on your neck, Tixel delivers impressive results safely and effectively.

What Is Tixel & How Does It Work?

Tixel is a heat-based fractional skin resurfacing and tightening treatment that uses Thermo-Mechanical Action (TMA®) to create tiny microchannels in the skin. Unlike lasers, which use light energy, or microneedling, which creates mechanical punctures, Tixel transfers pure thermal energy through a heated titanium tip.

The result? Increased collagen production, skin tightening, and enhanced absorption of regenerative skincare products.

• Stimulates collagen & elastin for firmer, tighter skin
• Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and texture irregularities
• Shrinks excess fat under the chin
• Improves pigmentation & sun damage
• Safe for delicate areas like eyelids and around the mouth

"Tixel gives us a powerful way to resurface, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin, but what makes it truly special is its ability to deliver skincare ingredients deep into the skin—something lasers and microneedling don’t do as effectively." — Dr. Saami Khalifian

How Does Tixel Compare to Lasers & Microneedling?

One of Tixel’s biggest advantages is its customizability—it can be used for gentle rejuvenation or deep resurfacing, depending on the patient’s needs.

"Tixel delivers laser-like results with RF microneedling-like tightening, all with less discomfort, faster healing, and the unique ability to enhance skincare absorption for 36 hours post-treatment." — Dr. Saami Khalifian

Why Tixel Is a Game-Changer for Skin Rejuvenation

Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments, Tixel leaves microchannels open for up to 36 hours, making it a powerful tool for delivering regenerative skincare deep into the skin.

After treatment, Dr. Saami applies medical-grade skincare to enhance collagen stimulation, improve hydration, and maximize results.

• Plated INTENSE Serum (Exosomes) – Supercharges cellular repair and collagen production.
• SkinMedica HA5 Hydra Collagen Complex – Plumps, hydrates, and restores skin elasticity.
• Alastin TransFORM Body Treatment – Enhances skin tightening and fat reduction.

"Tixel creates a window of opportunity where the skin is primed to absorb high-quality skincare at a deeper level. That’s why I call it a treatment amplifier—it enhances everything we apply afterward." — Dr. Saami Khalifian

How Dr. Saami Uses Tixel for Non-Surgical Lifting & Sculpting

Tixel for Non-Surgical Eye Lifting

Tixel safely tightens and lifts the upper and lower eyelids, reducing sagging and fine lines while improving skin elasticity.

• Lifts and firms upper & lower eyelid skin

  Brightens the eye area without injectables

Post-Treatment Skincare:

"Tixel is one of the best non-surgical alternatives to eyelid surgery, offering impressive lifting and tightening with minimal downtime." — Dr. Saami Khalifian

Tixel for Jowl Tightening & Jawline Contouring

Aging weakens the skin’s support structures, leading to jawline laxity and jowling. Tixel stimulates collagen and firms the lower face, restoring definition.

• Firms sagging skin along the jawline

• Contours the lower face naturally

Post-Treatment Skincare:

• Plated INTENSE Serum – Strengthens skin for long-term firming.

"Jowl laxity can be difficult to treat non-surgically, but Tixel delivers real tightening without the need for surgery or deep resurfacing lasers." — Dr. Saami Khalifian

Tixel for Double Chin Contouring & Fat Reduction

Tixel’s heat energy targets submental fat while simultaneously tightening the skin, making it an excellent alternative to Kybella or liposuction.

• Reduces fat and tightens loose skin
• Contours the jawline for a more sculpted profile
• Non-invasive with little downtime

Post-Treatment Skincare:

• Proprietary Blend to target fat breakdown and metabolic activation.
• Plated INTENSE Serum – Supports skin repair and post-treatment collagen stimulation.

"Tixel provides dual benefits—it shrinks fat deposits under the chin while tightening the skin, making it one of the best non-surgical options for contouring the lower face." — Dr. Saami Khalifian
