Tixel Eyelid Lift vs Blepharoplasty surgery?
Surgical blepharoplasty is excellent for correcting moderate to severe loose eyelid skin and puffy eyelids. It is still the “gold standard” for patients seeking blepharoplasty, with impressive results lasting more than 10 years, for a few weeks of downtime.
Tixel is a new innovative way of tightening loose skin and is an impressive alternative to surgery, allowing a gentle correction of moderate loose skin. For eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty) often 3-4 sessions may be required, which are performed every 4-6 weeks. Perfect for people who want to avoid surgery a gradual, scar less correction and not alter their “look” significantly.
Does Tixel hurt?
Local anaesthetic cream is applied on cleansed skin for 30 mins. After disinfection, the bloodless Tixel treatment will begin; most patients feel some heat and discomfort, like a sunburn. At the end of the session, there will be redness with small black/brown micro crusts, in the treated area, which may be visible for 1-2 days. Following treatment, the eyelids swell temporarily, which settle in 48-72 hours, and may require use of oral anti-inflammatory tablets.
The pinkness of the skin can take 1-2 weeks to settle. It is important not to scratch, pick or rub the area treated as a pinkish skin discoloration or hypo / hyperpigmentation could persist. It is important not to use exfoliant / glycolic or retinol-based products for 2 weeks after Tixel, It is important to protect the skin from direct sunlight for 4 weeks after.
