Many patients visit our providers at Revive RX Med Spa of Kansas City, Missouri, to discuss possible treatments for various skin concerns. Our team of professionals is here to help patients learn about the treatments available and discuss their benefits. One popular service is that of Tixel, a skin tightening and skin resurfacing treatment readily available at our office.
What is the Tixel skin treatment?
The Tixel skin treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses heat to rejuvenate the skin. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional laser treatments for various skin concerns, such as wrinkles, scarring, and pigmentation. This procedure involves using a handheld device with a grid of tiny pyramids to transfer heat to the skin. This heat stimulates the natural collagen production, resulting in tighter and smoother skin.
How does Tixel treatment work?
Tixel works by creating tiny microchannels on the skin’s surface using heat energy. These channels penetrate the top layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, and stimulate collagen production in the dermal layer. Collagen is a naturally present protein that gives the skin its structure and elasticity, making it an essential component for youthful-looking skin. Patients enjoy both skin tightening and resurfacing with a single treatment session instead of combining different therapies.

What are the five benefits of the Tixel treatment?
The Tixel treatment offers numerous benefits for those looking to improve their overall skin appearance. Some of these advantages include the following:
Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles The production of new collagen helps to plump skin, reducing the depth of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improved skin texture Tixel improves the skin’s overall texture by smoothing out any rough or uneven areas.
Reduced scarring Tixel treatment has been shown in clinical studies to be effective in reducing scars caused by acne or injuries.
Lightened pigmentation The heat from Tixel treatment can target and break up excess melanin, reducing the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation.
Minimal downtime Unlike traditional laser treatments, Tixel has minimal downtime and discomfort. Most of our patients resume their daily activities right after the procedure.
