PRINCIPLE

Based on Thermo-Mechanical Ablation (TMA) technology, the
Tixel impacts the targeted tissue almost identically to fractional CO₂ and erbium lasers,
however with low pain, safely and at a fraction of the size and cost of a laser. Analgesic creams are not required.
Healing is fast and down time short.

TMA TECHNOLOGY

Tixel is powered by TMA (Thermo-Mechanical Ablation), a non-
laser fractional treatment technology that can transfer
thermal energy to the skin very quickly and safely. The energy is
emitted through a matrix of tiny pyramid-shaped pins
made of biocompatible materials covering a treatment area
of 1cm². The pins are heated to a temperature of
400°C, similar to the temperature generated by a CO₂ laser
beam when it interacts with the skin. During treatment, the pins are introduced at a precisely
controlled speed to the surface of the skin, after which the
thermal energy stored in the pins is rapidly transferred to the
skin upon brief contact lasting only a few milliseconds. The
ensuant evaporation of water from the skin occurs
instantaneously, resulting in the formation of tiny micropores in
the treatment zone. The tiny pyramids hold a limited
amount of energy and evaporate the upper layers of the skin in
a controlled manner without causing burns or charring in the tissue,
a side effect often seen with other energy sources
such as laser. Tissue Evaporation by the tip upon brief contact with the skin

FEATURES

What is Tixel?

Tixel is a novel thermal fraction skin rejuvenation system powered by Novoxel’s patented technology.

Why Tixel?

  • Tixel is similar in effectiveness to fractional lasers.
  • It is a cost effective, sterile, fractional device for controlled evaporation of tissue.
  • Compared to laser, Tixel treatment is safe with:
    • Less charring and crusting
    • Less pain without anesthesia or cooling
    • Less downtime and post care
    • No irradiation, just pure natural heat

TIXEL VERSATILITY

TIXEL VERSATILITY

Tixel can perform either ablative or non-ablative treatments. The extent of thermal damage generated is closely related to the choice of the tip and to pulse duration. By adjusting treatment parameters, the physician can control the extent of ablation, the thermal effect, downtime and duration of healing.
