REDUCTION OF STRETCH MARKS AND SCARS

What is Tixel2?

Tixel2 at works by using thermal energy to gently and precisely heat the skin. The device’s titanium tips are heated to a controlled temperature and applied to the skin, delivering a series of small, controlled pulses.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Thermal Energy Application: The heated tips of the Tixel2 device are pressed onto the skin. The heat stimulates the skin’s natural healing process by promoting collagen production and encouraging skin regeneration.
  2. Microporation: The heat also creates microscopic pores on the surface of the skin, allowing better absorption of skincare products, which enhances the treatment’s effectiveness.
  3. Collagen Stimulation: The heat from Tixel2 stimulates the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

Why choose scar/ stretch marks treatment with Tixel2?

Non-Invasive & Minimal Downtime: Tixel2 offers a highly effective treatment with minimal downtime, allowing you to get back to your daily activities quickly.

Safe for All Skin Types: Tixel2 is suitable for a wide range of skin types, unlike some other resurfacing treatments, which may not be as effective or safe on darker skin tones.

Collagen Boosting: By stimulating collagen production, it helps to naturally improve the skin’s firmness and texture over time, leading to long-lasting results.

Quick & Precise: The treatment is precise, ensuring targeted results without the risk of over-treating or damaging surrounding tissue.

What happens during the treatment?

During a Tixel2 treatment, the following steps typically occur:

  1. Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed to remove any impurities or makeup. A numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment.
  2. Thermal Stimulation: The Tixel2 device, with its heated titanium tips, will be gently pressed onto your skin. These tips release controlled thermal energy, which creates tiny microscopic pores on the surface of the skin and stimulates deeper layers to encourage collagen production.
  3. Collagen Boosting: As the thermal energy penetrates the skin, it triggers the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which helps firm and smooth the skin.
  4. Treatment Duration: The session typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation during the process.
  5. Post-Treatment: After the treatment, a soothing serum or moisturiser may be applied to your skin. You may experience mild redness or warmth, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of scars can Tixel2 treat?

✔ Acne Scars – Reduces pitted, boxcar, and rolling scars.
✔ Surgical Scars – Softens and improves post-surgery marks.
✔ Trauma Scars – Helps refine scars from injuries or accidents.
✔ Burn Scars – Enhances skin texture in mild to moderate cases.
✔ Stretch Marks – Improves colour and texture for newer and older marks.

Tixel2 may not be effective for:

❌ Keloid Scars – Raised, thick scars that grow beyond the original wound.
❌ Hypertrophic Scars – Thick, raised scars that may require alternative treatments.
❌ Deep Atrophic Scars – Extremely deep scars may need combination treatments.

Can Tixel2 remove scars completely?

No, but it significantly reduces their appearance, making them smoother and less visible over time.

How many sessions do I need?

Most patients need 3-5 sessions every 4-6 weeks, with ongoing improvement over several months.

When can I see results?

Full results typically appear within 4 to 6 weeks as the skin heals and collagen continues to form, with maintenance treatments ensuring long-term improvements.

Is there any downtime?

Tixel2 involves minimal downtime. You may experience:
Redness for a few hours, similar to mild sunburn. Skin sensitivity for 24-48 hours. Light peeling after a few days.

Is Tixel2 treatment painful?

Tixel2 is generally considered well-tolerated. During the treatment, you may feel a warm, tingling or mild prickling sensation as the heated tips of the device are applied to your skin. The level of discomfort varies depending on your pain threshold and the area being treated, but most clients describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful.

To ensure your comfort, numbing cream may be applied before the treatment, reducing any discomfort. After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or tightness, but this typically fades within a few hours.

Overall, Tixel2 is a relatively comfortable procedure with minimal discomfort.

How often should I get Tixel2 for scars or stretch marks?

For best results, 3-5 sessions are recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the severity of scars or stretch marks. Maintenance sessions may be needed for long-term improvements. Additional sessions may be necessary or combination with microneedling and PRP.

Can I wear make up after the treatment?

  • Makeup: It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment to allow your skin to heal and fully benefit from the procedure.
  • SPF: Broad-spectrum SPF 50 should be applied daily, especially after the treatment, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV damage. This will protect your skin and help maintain the results.

Following these post-treatment guidelines ensures optimal healing and long-lasting benefits.
