Here are some guidelines to help you plan your treatment and recovery from Tixel:

• Expect to feel a hot ‘sunburnt’ feeling for a couple of hours after Tixel treatment
• Redness will last for a few days
• Expect some micro crusting (small scabbing). This will clear after 4-5 days
• Patients should not expect any peeling or blistering
• Patients will need to purchase some aftercare products. We will advise on this at your appointment
• Makeup can be used after 48 hours to cover your skin while healing continues. We suggest mineral makeup.
• Patients can expect to see a difference after 1 treatment, but we recommend a course of 3-5 sessions for optimal results
• Results can be seen 4-6 weeks after treatment
• TIXEL treatment cannot be used while pregnant or breastfeeding
• Your skin will need to be free from active tan for 3 weeks prior to treatment and will require strong sun protection for 3 weeks following treatment
