What Is Tixel?
A gentler way to reveal healthier, younger-looking skin.
Tixel is an advanced fractional skin rejuvenation treatment that uses Thermo-Mechanical Action® (TMA), precisely controlled heat delivered through brief contact with the skin, instead of the light or laser energy used by traditional devices.
At Berman Skin Institute, we use Tixel to treat fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, acne scarring, pigment, and stretch marks on the face, eyes, neck, and body, with a comfort profile and recovery timeline most patients find far easier to live with than traditional lasers.
Because Tixel doesn't rely on light-based energy, it carries no added sun sensitivity and is effective and safe year-round, in any climate, for all skin tones.
The Treatment
How Tixel works
Four simple stages deliver fractional heat precisely where your skin needs it, triggering your body's own renewal response.
Thermal Energy
A sterile, patented titanium tip is heated to a precisely controlled temperature.
Brief Contact
The handpiece briefly touches the treatment area, delivering fractionated heat to the skin.
Natural Renewal
Targeted heat triggers your skin's own healing process, leaving it smoother, tighter, and more youthful.
Targeted Delivery
Temporary micro-channels dramatically enhance the absorption of post-procedure topicals.
Treatment Areas
One device, treatment options for nearly every concern
Your provider will tailor a plan to your skin's specific needs and goals.
Texture
Acne scars, active acne, enlarged pores, and creased chins.
Neck & Body
Neck lines, décolleté, arms, hands, and stretch marks.

Your Treatment Journey
What to expect
The Plan
3–4 sessions, spaced to your skin's pace
Most patients receive 3–4 sessions, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to allow full results to develop between treatments.
After Treatment
A light sunburn feeling, then you're done
Expect a warm sensation and mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, for a few hours. Any micro-crusting usually clears within about three days.
In Her Words
What Tixel patients say
I honestly didn't think it was possible to look like "me" again. Tixel was different. It felt like the treatment was working with my skin instead of against it. To see that pigment clear and the volume come back has been life-changing.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Tixel safe for my skin tone?
Yes. Because Tixel uses controlled heat rather than light or laser energy, it carries a lower risk profile across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones that are often higher-risk for traditional laser treatments.
How much downtime should I expect?
Most patients experience 0–2 days of mild redness or warmth, similar to a light sunburn. Any micro-crusting typically resolves within about three days, and most people return to normal activities the same day.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients receive 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and your specific goals. Your provider will build a personalized plan at your consultation.
Can Tixel be used in summer?
Yes. Because Tixel doesn't use light energy, it doesn't create added sun sensitivity, making it one of the few fractional treatments considered effective and safe year-round, in any climate.
What areas can Tixel treat?
Tixel treats the face, eyes, neck, décolleté, hands, arms, and body, addressing concerns from fine lines and eyelid hooding to acne scarring, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.
