The Tixel machine features a bio-compatible, sterile titanium tip which is heated to 400 degrees C. The tip is approximately 1 cm square and contains 9 columns and 9 rows of tiny pyramids (totalling 81). The tip makes brief contact with the skin, where it transfers thermal energy to the upper skin layers, creating micron sized pores. The energy transfer can be controlled according to the treatment area and condition being treated. This is adjusted by varying the tip’s skin exposure time as well as its thermal conductivity. Tixel does NOT include the following:

• No lasers
• No injections
• No irradiation
