Tixel at Sanctuary Skin Care

Tixel

Tixel is a non-invasive, fractional skin resurfacing treatment that uses controlled heat energy to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, treat acne scars, and address various skin concerns. 

Skin appears firmer, smoother and more rejuvenated as fine lines soften and texture improves. It feels tighter and refreshed with a lifted look.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Tixel work

Unlike traditional lase treatments, Tixel delivers energy through a thermomechanical action using a titanium plate rather than using light-based energy, making it suitable for a broader range of skin types and sensitive areas. 

Who is Tixel for

Tixel is ideal for clients looking to tighten skin, reduce signs of aging, and improve areas like the eyes. It effectively treats:

  • lines/wrinkles
  • skin laxity
  • droopy eyelids
  • thin/crepey skin
  • acne scars
  • pore size
  • pigmentation
  • texture
  • dull complexion

How does Tixel feel?

Tixel creates a brief heat sensation, similar to a mild sunburn. Applying numbing cream before treatment reduces discomfort to about 5/10. Post-treatment warmth and tingling may last 1-3 hours. Comfort varies by skin type and treatment settings. 

Is there any downtime after Tixel?

Clients typically experience redness and some swelling for up to 2 days. The skin will feel very dry and rough as it develops ‘micro crusts’ which appear like little brown spots. These spots eventually fall off as the skin heals and regenerates, to reveal clear, fresh skin. Total downtime will take anywhere from 5-10 days depending on treatment intensity. Recovery is faster than ablative lasers.

How often is Tixel recommended?

We recommend 3 initial treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. Followed by 1-3 sessions yearly for maintenance.

"5 Star Clinic!

Natasha and her team are just incredible!

They are the skincare professionals who listen to your concerns and apply the best treatment for you. I struggled with Melasma for years however, I regained my confidence after treatments and home skincare regime.

All the staff members are very friendly so I always leave the clinic with clear skin and great feeling. It is an amazing place to be!"

"Natasha and the whole team at Sanctuary are so professional, caring and friendly - the best for skin care with a smile!

I have been seeing Natasha for a couple of years now and my skin has never looked better. I love how I can go in for an appointment and she'll recommend what's best for my skin, from a gentle relaxing facial to a more in-depth treatment.

Thank you for making my congested skin look and feel flawless. Already can't wait for my next appointment!"

"I had an incredible experience with Natasha at Sanctuary Skin Clinic. She went above and beyond — her extractions were the best l've ever had, and her expertise with BBL treatments far surpassed that of my high-end dermatologist (who charges much more).

What stood out most was the care, passion, and attention to detail she brought to every step of the treatment. I only wish I had found this clinic sooner. Could not recommend more highly!"

"It was divine. Emily was so caring, listened to what I was concerned about and provided great information to help understand what to expect, how things worked with skin science and showed her great knowledge and experience in working with different kinds of skin.

The facial was so gentle, soothing and restorative to not just my skin but my mind as well."

Mags

"Bree is THE BEST! Her depth of knowledge is incredible, she's super helpful and her treatments leave my mature skin looking and feeling fresh, plump and rejuvenated.

I've been having trouble with dermatitis on the side of my face and Bree chose gentle yet effective treatments to calm the inflammation and provide nourishment and healing.

I highly recommend Bree and all the team at Sanctuary Skin Care."

"Sanctuary Skin Care has been the best skin clinic for laser treatments I've ever been to.

I feel safe in Emily's professional hands, her advice is spot on and she is a delight to deal with. She has an amazing ability to relax her clients with her great sense of humour whilst focusing on her work! Highly recommend!"
