Tixel Eyelid Lift
Your eyes are one of the first places that visably shows the signs aging. The tissue around the eyes is thinner, which makes fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging more noticeable.
The non-surgical, non-invasive Tixel Eyelid Lift can prevent or postpone the need for a surgical blepharoplasty
- Crow’s feet (wrinkles on the outside corners of the eyes)
- Laxity (skin crepiness)
- Festoons (bags under the eyes)
- Hooding (drooping upper eyelids)
- Dyschromia (dark circles under the eyes)
FDA Cleared for Crow’s Feet
Can treat to the lash line around and within the upper and lower eye area. FDA cleared to treat crow’s feet.
Virtually No Downtime
Much more comfortable than laser and radio frequency treatments. Makeup can be worn the day after treatment.
Can Help with Dry Eyes
The Tixel is clinically proven to improve dry eye disease symptoms without adverse effects
The Tixel treatment head has a small heated metal plate covered with tiny heated cones. It delivers heat energy to the skin’s surface without any damage to deeper skin tissues.
This “controlled injury” stimulates the body to use its own healing power to produce more elastin (skin scaffolding) and collagen (skin plumpness).
The new collagen and elastin formed in the four to six weeks following treatment diminishes fine lines wrinkles while tightening up sagging skin.
Our Tixel Eyelid Treatment Cost
Our Tixel eyelid treatment cost includes post-procedure medical grade growth factors plus your post-treatment home care products. We do not perform this treatment without growth factors.
Tixel Eyelid Treatment (upper and lower lids + crow's feet)
Growth Factors + Home Care Products $275, package off three $699 ($233 ea)
Growth factors to accelerate healing and amplify results were first introduced in 2012. The medical grade solution delivers pro-healing, anti-inflammatory growth factors and cytokines that signal healing. It also contains synthesized human TGF-B3, a human growth factor, that further reduces inflammation and promotes healing. Growth factors are generally recommended for those who want to smooth fine lines beginning to form, improve skin texture, even skin tone, and have that healthy skin glow.
All Tixel face and Tixel eye treatments include numbing and treating the eye area up to the lash line. Numbing is not needed for the neck, decolletage, and/or hands.

Tixel Eyelid Lift for Dry Eye Disease
Dry eyes are caused by an imbalance in the composition of tears or in the quantity of tears produced. The imbalance often originates in the meibomian glands that produce oil that helps keep tears from evaporating.
The Tixel eyelid treatment is performed on the both the superior and inferior eyelids above the meibomian glands that are adjacent to the eyelid rim. The healing process helps revitalize the meibomian glands, which in turn helps improve the quality of the tear film.
There have been several studies that demonstrate Tixel Eyelid Lift treatment is safe and effective for improving Dry Eye Disease symptoms. In this study published in 2023, 74 participants with periorbital wrinkles and moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED) received three Tixel treatments at 2-week intervals. There were no adverse events, no change in vision observed.
Tixel treatment was both clinically and statistically significant with improvement in the dry eye disease by a reduction of 21.40 of the OSDI index, non-invasive tear break-up time improved by 2.12, and tear osmolarity reduced from 299.8 to 298.8 mOsm/L following the Tixel treatments.
The study concluded that peri-orbital fractional skin treatment with the Tixel is an attractive, safe and effective treatment for dry eye disease with demonstrated high clinical and statistically significant improvement in signs and symptoms with no adverse affects.
How Tixel Treatments Work
Tixel Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during a Tixel treatment?
If your treatment is for an eye lift or full face treatment, numbing cream is applied for 30 to 45 minutes. Tixel treatments are so tolerable numbing is not required for other treatment areas.
During the treatment, the heated plate in the machine handpiece touches the skin for a fraction of a second, delivering a short burst of heat to create a controlled injury.
Once the treatment area(s) have been covered with two passes, either a medical grade Growth Factor Solution or Exosomes are massaged into the treated skin to help accelerate the healing process and boost results.
What Should I Expect After a Tixel Treatment?
After a Tixel treatment, skin is slightly red and may be a little swollen for 3 to 4 hours. There may be a heat sensation somewhat like a mild sunburn for 2 to 3 hours. Downtime is 0 to 5 days, depending on your treatment intensity.
The day after a Tixel treatment make-up can cover up any micro-crusting or pin dot scabs that will naturally fall off in a few days. Optimal results are visible at 4 to 6 weeks post-treatment.
Who is a Tixel Treatment Candidate?
Tixel technology is not laser or radiofrequency. Tixel technology is pure heat, so it can be used on all skin types.
If you are in general good health, have not had recent excessive UV light exposure, and have not has a neurotoxin treatment (Botox, Dysport, etc.) in the last two weeks or a dermal filler treatment (Juvederm, Restylane, etc.) in the last four weeks, you are likely an excellent candidate.
Who is not a good Tixel treatment candidate?
Tixel treatment contraidications are:
- Skin diseases, infections, or sensitive skin syndrome.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Autoimmune disorder
- Herbal or prescription blood thinners
- Exposure to excessive UV light in the four weeks leading up to treatment
- Skin cancer, moles, or precancerous lesions in the area to be treated
- Accutane (or isotretinoin products) in the last 6 months
- Neurotoxin treatments (Botox, Dysport, etc.) in the last two weeks
- Dermal filler treatments (Juvederm, Restylane, etc.) in the last four weeks
- Those prone to cold sores around the mouth area must pretreat with a prescription before treatment as it can cause an outbreak
What pre-treatment care do I need to follow?
Do not use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) for two weeks prior to treatment to minimize the potential for bruising and bleeding.
If you have a history of fever blisters, take antiviral medication starting one day prior to your treatment.
Stop all topical acids, including but not limited to glycolic, alpha or beta hydroxyl acids, retinols, Retin-A, or other like products, for 7 days prior to treatment.
Avoid tanning beds, tanning creams, and prolonged exposure to the sun for 4 weeks prior to treatment.
