WHAT IS IT?

San Antonio Eyeworks is proud to be among the few offices in the country offering TIXEL, an advanced, non-invasive skin treatment that harnesses thermal energy for skin rejuvenation. TIXEL effectively targets concerns such as wrinkles, sagging skin, under-eye dark circles, uneven texture, scars, and sun damage. Delivering results comparable to fractional CO₂ lasers, TIXEL offers a gentler approach—providing impressive outcomes with minimal pain, downtime, and risk.

How it works

TIXEL utilizes a small heated metal plate embedded with multiple tiny cones to deliver controlled bursts of heat energy to the skin’s surface. As it is applied over the face and neck, this targeted thermal energy stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, tighter skin—all while preserving the deeper skin tissues.

TIXEL FOR DRY EYES

A surprising benefit observed during TIXEL treatments was the noticeable improvement in dry eye symptoms. The heat generated by TIXEL has been found to unblock and stimulate tear production by activating the Meibomian glands, the small glands around the eyes responsible for maintaining a healthy tear film. While ongoing research continues to explore the exact mechanisms behind TIXEL’s effects on dry eye, multiple clinical studies have already demonstrated a reduction in symptoms, along with improved tear break-up time and tear film osmolarity.
