Get to Know Tixel Resurfacing

Tixel is a non laser resurfacing treatment that uses controlled heat to gently renew the skin surface and support collagen in the deeper layers. It is designed to soften fine lines, improve texture and help skin look smoother and more even.

At Ocean Cosmetics in Perth, your Tixel plan is doctor led. We look closely at where your lines are forming, how your skin has changed over time and what you would like to improve. Some people are most bothered by lines around the eyes or mouth. Others notice general crepiness and roughness through the cheeks, neck or décolletage.

During treatment, a small heated grid briefly touches the skin in a very controlled way. This creates tiny micro zones on the surface, while heat diffuses into the upper dermis. Over time, this can stimulate collagen and support a fresher, more refined look.

Tixel resurfacing can be adjusted from lighter to stronger settings, depending on your skin, downtime tolerance and goals. It often forms part of a broader ageing well plan that includes skincare and other energy based treatments, so results feel natural and balanced.

Treatable Concerns

Helps soften crepey texture and fine lines in the crow’s feet and under eye area in suitable candidates.

Targets vertical lines and roughness around the lips and chin to support a smoother look.

Improves mild etched lines, enlarged pores and uneven texture across the cheeks and lower face.

Can help with fine, crinkled lines on the neck and upper chest where the skin is delicate and sun exposed.

Encourages a more even surface so skin reflects light better and looks fresher day to day.

Ideal for

This treatment is ideal for people who are starting to see fine lines, crepiness or etched in wrinkles and feel their skin no longer looks as smooth as it once did. It suits clients who would like to target texture and lines around the eyes, mouth, cheeks, neck or chest without traditional laser or surgery.

Tixel resurfacing is best for individuals who can allow for a few days of visible redness or a light grid pattern, and who are comfortable with gradual change over several sessions. Suitability for different skin types is always confirmed by a doctor at consultation, taking your medical history, pigmentation risk and long term goals into account.

Treatment Journey

Your journey begins with a doctor led consultation. We discuss your concerns, review your medical history and examine your skin at rest and in expression. Your doctor explains how Tixel works, which areas are likely to benefit, what level of resurfacing is appropriate and how it can sit alongside other treatments in your plan.

  • You may be asked to stop strong active skincare such as retinoids, acids and scrubs for a set period before treatment.

  • Keep the treatment area free from irritation, open wounds, cold sores or active infections.

  • Avoid recent tanning or self tan on the areas to be treated.

  • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup, heavy skincare or fragrance on the treatment areas.

  • Let your doctor know about any new medications, recent procedures or changes to your health since booking.

  • We will explain how Tixel feels, the expected pattern and downtime, and how to plan your appointments around work and social events.
  • Redness and warmth are common and usually settle over several days. A faint grid like pattern may be visible on the skin during this time.

  • Light swelling or a feeling of tightness can occur, especially around the eyes and mouth, and typically improves on its own.

  • Small dry or flaky patches may appear as the skin renews. Do not pick or scratch at these areas.

  • Use gentle, hydrating skincare and barrier supportive products as recommended by your clinician. Avoid scrubs, strong acids and retinoids until you are advised to restart.

  • Wear daily broad spectrum sunscreen and avoid direct sun, hot showers, saunas and intense exercise in the early recovery period.

Contact the clinic if you have any concerns, and attend review appointments so we can track healing and plan your next session.

es. Tixel is often combined over time with skincare, RF, microneedling or laser, but not all on the same day. Your doctor will map out the safest sequence to support both short term healing and long term skin health.

After Tixel, keep the skin clean, use gentle hydrating products recommended by your clinician and avoid scrubs or strong actives until your skin has recovered. Daily broad spectrum sunscreen and sun smart habits are essential to protect your results and reduce the risk of pigment changes.
