Are you frustrated by sagging skin around your eyes?

Drooping eyelids and noticeable eye bags are common signs of aging. But the Tixel eye lift is a long-lasting treatment to make your eyes look younger.

Keep reading to find out how it works.

What is Tixel?

Tixel is a revolutionary skincare technology that can be used to target different areas of the face and neck, including the eyelids and décolleté. The cutting-edge Tixel fractional skin rejuvenation device utilizes Thermo-Mechanical Ablation (TMA), an innovative technology capable of creating amazing results.

Tixel treats the skin without lasers or radio waves, allowing trained technicians to target multiple areas with a convenient handheld device. Its medical-grade titanium tip contains dozens of tiny pins which administer heat to the skin safely.

What is Thermo-Mechanical Action Technology?

With Tixel, Novoxel has introduced the powerful TMA technology that blends heat and motion to generate impactful results. Technicians use the handheld device to deliver rapid thermal energy to specific regions of the skin. The precision tip creates slight, safe skin damage in a controlled way, which stimulates collagen production.

Collagen is a major building block of the skin (as well as bones, muscles, and ligaments), and helps provide its structure. However, the human body produces less collagen with age, which is why skin gradually starts to sag and lose its youthful volume. This can be particularly noticeable in the area around the eyes, with drooping eyelids and eye bags two of the most common signs of aging.

But by stimulating more collagen production, Tixel can tighten sagging skin around your eyes and rejuvenate your general appearance.

The heated tip also evaporates excess tissue and moisture from the skin’s top layer with immediate effect. This results in instantly tighter skin, which, combined with the increased collagen production, contributes to a more youthful look overall.

What Benefits Does the Tixel Eye Lift Offer?

The Tixel eye lift treatment offers the following benefits

Make Your Eyes and Overall Appearance More Youthful

Embracing the many signs of aging can be difficult for everyone. A wrinkle here or there in the beginning may be hard to notice, but when changes become more visible, many of us want to address these little issues that build up over the years.

As the eyes are one of the most prominent facial features, drooping eyelids and sagging eye bags can be especially hard to accept. In the past, invasive surgery was the only way to tighten the skin around the eyes, but the innovative Tixel eye lift treatment is a simpler, non-invasive way to restore a younger look.

A Safe and Easy Solution for Sagging Skin Around the Eyes

One of the major benefits of the Tixel Eye Lift is that its pins are self-sterilizing, which ensures the treatment is as safe as it is effective. You can expect a heat-based treatment without any fumes, smoke, carbonization, or (crucially) bleeding.

That means the Tixel eye lift is a more pleasant, easier experience than some patients may expect it to be.

Limited Downtime for Your Convenience and Peace of Mind

Recovery is a vital factor to consider before any cosmetic treatment. Traditionally invasive surgery requires days or weeks to recover. But with Tixel, you can expect minimal downtime, which makes it a convenient option for anyone worried about taking time away from work.

Tixel is a Versatile Technology

Tixel can be used to address aesthetic issues in other areas of the face and neck, such as smoothing out wrinkles near the eyes or reducing acne scarring.

Suitable for All Skin Types

Tixel is compatible with all skin types and diverse age groups, suitable for a wide range of aesthetic and medical treatments. As a result, the Tixel eye lift is a viable cosmetic option for anyone looking to achieve tighter skin around their eyes.

You can discuss the treatment, and how appropriate it is for you, during your consultation. However, it may not be the right option for you if you currently:

• Are pregnant
• Have a strong sun tan
• Have acne

If you have any questions about whether the Tixel eye lift treatment is suitable for you, we’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

When Do the Results of the Tixel Eye Lift Treatment Appear?

A standard course of Tixel treatments covers three to four sessions, with one per month, to achieve lasting results.

We’ll be able to discuss this with you in detail during your consultation.

How Long Do the Results of the Tixel Eye Lift Treatment Last?

The results of the Tixel eye lift treatment can last for a full year or more. Generally, it’s recommended that you schedule a yearly maintenance session to keep the results visible for longer.

Are There Any Risks Associated with the Tixel Eye Lift Treatment?

You may experience redness in the treated area, along with possible tingling and a sensation of heat. These effects may last for a few hours following your treatment, but should soon pass. Swelling is a possibility, too, though it typically lasts no more than a few days.

One of the most important factors to consider when discussing potential risks and side effects of this treatment is that Tixel only penetrates skin to a shallow depth. That means it’s virtually impossible to create scarring in treated areas.

Additionally, a small amount of crusting can form a few days after the treatment. This will fall off over the following week or so without intervention, so try not to scratch or pick at it in the meantime. That could lead to infections and scarring. Fortunately, you can cover this crusting with make-up if you need to go outside or to work.

Are you considering getting a facelift? If so, expect to spend at least three weeks at home in recovery and at least six weeks before you start feeling like yourself again. That's some significant downtime!

Luckily, there are non-surgical alternatives to facelifts that come with a much shorter recovery period. These face contouring procedures can tighten skin, reduce fat cells, and even make your muscles look more toned.

At Astra Medicare Cosmetic Clinic, we offer non-invasive body contouring services for the face and body. Our procedures are powerful enough to make you look and feel more youthful without having to go under the knife.

But what is face contouring exactly, and how does it work? We answer these two questions and many more in this complete guide. Keep reading for everything you need to know before booking your appointment.

What Is Non-Surgical Face Contouring?

Only a few decades ago, going under the knife was the only way to get significantly tighter, more youthful-looking skin. But technology has advanced, and all that has changed.

Today, there are multiple options that the FDA has approved to help you get firmer, tighter skin. And most of them do not require surgery. Some are even completely non-invasive.

We will talk about a few of these facial procedures next.

RF Therapies

RF energy can help improve the texture, tone, and tightness of your facial skin. These treatments work by stimulating collagen production in your skin.

It can offer the same benefits as traditional microneedling treatments. But the advantage is that the use of RF energy means the treatment is completely non-invasive.

Some types of procedures that offer these effects include Morpheus8 and EmpowerRF. We offer both of these therapies at our medical spa.

Thread Lifts

While thread lifts are not completely non-invasive, they are minimally invasive compared to traditional facelifts. These treatments also work by stimulating collagen production, though through a different mechanism.

A doctor will place threads under the skin to lift and tighten your skin. The body then treats these threads like wounds, resulting in an uptick in collagen. Over time, this creates the added benefit of fewer wrinkles.

Many people do not prefer thread lifts because of this uncomfortable process. If that sounds like you, consider some of these other options.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a common non-surgical treatment for the face and body, including jawline contouring. It utilizes ultrasound energy to heat up cells in the target area. This, again, results in collagen stimulation.

People get ultherapy to help with loose skin, wrinkles, and sagging. It can target pretty significant aging. But you may have to book multiple sessions.

Injectables

Did you know that fillers can help tighten your skin? That is right: fillers are not just for people who want to change the shape and/or volume of their faces.

Filling the face with filler will automatically tighten the skin. And with this tightening comes an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles.

However, keep in mind that these facial injections are a temporary solution. You usually have to get them re-injected after six months.

Other Treatments

There are dozens of other treatments to consider if you want a non-surgical facelift. This includes Coolsculpting, Warmsculpting, and Evolve/Evoke.

Coolsculpting and Warmsculpting use cold and hot energy, respectively, to kill fat cells. However, these procedures do not help with skin tightening.

Evoke is a three-step facelift cosmetic procedure that uses thermal energy to melt fat cells, stimulate collagen for skin tightening, and stimulate muscle tissue.

It is one of the best non-surgical face contouring procedures around today.

Does Non-Surgical Face Contouring Really Work?

Yes! Non-surgical face contouring is FDA-approved to help treat sagging skin, wrinkles, and more. The exact facial areas that can benefit from these treatments depend on the exact procedure.

Before the FDA ever approves a procedure, it requires various documentation. This documentation includes scientific evidence that the procedure works the way it claims to.

In this case, there are studies showing the effectiveness of non-surgical facelift procedures. For example, check out this 2022 research study on the benefits and effectiveness of our Evoke facelift procedure.

FDA approval also means that the treatment's benefits outweigh its risks. After all, all medical treatments present some level of risk.

Benefits of Face Contouring Over Traditional Facelifts

There are multiple benefits of getting one of these treatments over a surgical facelift, including:

• Little to no recovery time

• Extremely low risk of complications

• The procedure takes less than one hour

The only downside to these procedures is that they are not all permanent. And some treatments may require multiple procedures before you achieve your desired results.

You may worry that this may drive up the total cost of your procedure. But considering the amount of time you will have to take off from work and the added costs of surgical facelifts, this just is not true.

Non-surgical face contouring can actually end up costing less than getting a traditional facelift, even when you consider top-ups.
