What can Tixel treat?

Tixel can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, skin textures, skin laxity, crepey skin, and acne scarring. It is especially popular for the upper and lower eye areas, where it can help smooth and refresh delicate skin without surgery. It is also suitable for the whole face, neck, hands, décolletage, and around the mouth.

This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages. During your consultation, Sonia will advise whether Tixel is the right option for your skin concerns and goals.

How does Tixel treatment work?

Tixel uses heated pyramid-shaped tips that briefly touch the skin to create controlled micro-injuries. This process supports skin renewal and collagen stimulation, making the skin look smoother, fresher and more refined as it heals.

Treatment is quick, and the intensity can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and the result you want to achieve. Stronger treatments may be recommended for concerns such as smokers’ lines, deeper wrinkles, crepey undereye skin and overall skin coarseness.

Please note that consent and medical history forms will be sent to you prior to treatment.

Why choose Tixel skin resurfacing?

Tixel is a fractional skin resurfacing treatment used in clinics across the UK and internationally. Patients often choose it to improve visible signs of ageing, refine skin texture and target delicate areas such as the upper and lower eyes.

Compared with more aggressive resurfacing options, Tixel is often chosen for its combination of visible results, lower discomfort and shorter downtime. For stronger treatments, it is normal to see temporary redness and a light grid pattern/micro-crusting while the skin heals.

Tixel can also be used as part of advanced rejuvenation plans for concerns including eye-area ageing, skin texture changes and acne scarring. Your treatment plan will depend on the condition of your skin, the area being treated and the result you want to achieve.

Tixel with the trainer touch protocol

As a Tixel trainer for the past 10 years, I do an advanced ‘trainer protocol’, which means a more targeted & superior treatment with more depth & results (meaning a little more downtime, but it works out considerably better value as fewer treatments are required to get the final outcome & results last 2 years or more.

Tixel FAQs

What preparation do you need for a Tixel treatment

No retinol pretreatment. If you suffer from cold sores, please take acyclovir prior to 3 days. Arrive with no makeup & bring sunglasses & a lightweight scarf. Buy a pot of Aqueous Cream or La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5+ or Avène Cicalfate.

What post-care is required?

For the first 48 hours, stay indoors as much as possible if you have had treatment on the face or neck. If you need to go outside, avoid UV exposure and wear sunglasses. Bringing a light scarf and sunglasses with you is recommended.
Once the skin has cooled after treatment, which usually takes around 1 to 3 hours, apply La Roche-Posay Cicaplast, Avène Cicalfate/Cicaplast, or aqueous cream. Reapply regularly for 7 days. Do not use any other skin products during this time.

What does Tixel treat?

Tixel is commonly used for wrinkles, crepey skin, uneven texture, acne scarring, skin laxity and rejuvenation of the eye area.

Is Tixel suitable for the eye area?

Yes. Tixel is often chosen for the upper and lower eye areas, where patients want to improve the look of crepey skin, lines and general skin texture without surgery.

How much downtime is there after Tixel?

Downtime depends on how strong the treatment is and which area is treated. After a stronger resurfacing treatment, it is common to see redness, light gridding and small micro-crusts for around 3–4 days. Downtime is some microcrusting little bronze grids on the face & possibly a bit blotchy / Erythema for 4-5 days. These effects are temporary and part of the healing process.

When can I wear makeup or SPF after treatment?

Makeup (mineral advised) and SPF can usually be applied 48 hours after treatment, following your aftercare advice.

How many Tixel treatments will I need?

This depends on your skin concerns, the treatment area and the result you want to achieve. Sonia will recommend the most suitable plan during your consultation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although I had not heard of tixel before, it immediately impressed me with Sonya’s natural look, professionalism and knowledge, and I found myself booking an appointment for a Tixel treatment. On arrival, Sonya made me feel comfortable and ensured I was fully aware of the procedure ahead. My comfort and ease appeared to be her priority. On completion of treatment, Sonya ensured I was fully aware of the aftercare procedures.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a Tixel face with Sonia; oh my lord, I’m delighted with the difference in my skin. Took a while to make my mind up to get it done, but I’m so glad I did.

It’s a tad painful but worth it; I will definitely have it done again. Sonia is so professional; I cannot recommend her enough.

Hayley in Cheltenham.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s one of the best treatments I have had it’s only been 2 weeks, and the result is amazing; my face looks so much younger, and my friends and family have noticed my results. I’ve had BOTOX in the past, but it doesn’t work for me, as it’s only a quick fix, and then I found Sonia with tixel it’s the best. I can’t believe my results; I’m so happy. I would recommend tixel to anyone tixel all the way thank you, Sonia. I feel so much more confident, and it’s because of you and your treatment. It has taken 15 years off my skin’s age.

Sharon in Gloucestershire.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Treatment with tixel was not painful, and results have been way beyond my expectations. Skin is fresher, wrinkles much less, & I look years younger. Tixel is amazing; it’s a futuristic treatment, non-laser, & I cannot praise it enough. Also, love Sonia’s Medi-high-tech facials too. My overall confidence has improved. I will now have tixel again & try to have regular skin treatments. Glad I discovered Sonia’s skin treatments in Cheltenham.
