We introduced Tixel to our menu for laser skin resurfacing in Portage, MI, to provide patients with a gentler alternative to aggressive treatments. It delivers incredible, visible improvements with minimal downtime. Our team uses this innovative device to elevate the patient experience and achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.
We begin every series of Tixel skin resurfacing treatments with a warm welcome from our front desk team. They get you checked in and take photos for your patient records. Next, you meet one of our providers who will listen to your concerns, assess your skin, and determine if Tixel is the right service for your needs.
During your Tixel session, your provider uses a handheld device with a heated titanium tip to create tiny microchannels in the skin’s surface. This controlled thermal energy stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers without harming surface tissue. Most sessions take around 30 minutes to complete.
You may notice a renewed glow within 3 to 4 weeks with continued improvements in tone, texture, and firmness over the next several months, as collagen rebuilds.
Inspirations is your starting point for real enhancement.
Yes, Tixel skin resurfacing is safe for all skin types. It uses heat-based energy rather than traditional laser or light. The handheld device delivers controlled thermal energy to the skin through a titanium tip, avoiding the pigmentation issues that high-intensity light wavelengths can trigger in darker tones.
This makes Tixel a versatile option for a wide range of complexions, minimizing the risk of post-treatment complications.
To prepare for a Tixel treatment, we recommend the following:
After Tixel, it’s common for patients to experience mild redness, swelling, and a warm sensation—similar to a sunburn—for the first 1 to 2 days. Tiny grid-like marks may appear on the skin’s surface, fading as it heals. Some patients also notice slight flaking or dryness, which is part of the renewal process. These effects are temporary, and most patients return to regular activities within a week.
Yes, but give your skin time to heal. To reduce the risk of irritation or infection, we recommend patients wait at least 24 hours after a Tixel treatment before applying makeup. Once any initial redness or sensitivity fades, you may safely apply mineral-based makeup for gentle coverage as your skin recovers.
Yes, to promote recovery, there are a few products you should avoid after your Tixel treatment, including:
Once your skin is fully healed, you may resume using these products in addition to hydrating cleansers, soothing moisturizers, and sunscreen.
Yes. We encourage patients to get the most out of Tixel laser skin resurfacing in Portage, MI, by pairing it with complementary treatments. Options like a BBL photofacial, chemical peels, or microneedling can target additional concerns, such as hyperpigmentation, redness, or deeper skin texture issues.
