Tixel Skin Rejuvenation

Tixel Skin Rejuvenation in Franklin, TN

At Satori Dermatology and Wellness, we bring the future of skincare to Franklin with advanced Tixel skin rejuvenation—a non-laser solution designed to improve collagen production, refine fine lines, and enhance skin tone. 

Led by a commitment to both science and patient comfort, we’re also exploring new frontiers in combining Tixel with stem cells and peptides to elevate natural skin rejuvenation outcomes.

What Is Tixel and How Does It Work?

Tixel is an energy-based device powered by Thermo-Mechanical Action (TMA®), a proprietary, non-laser fractional technology that delivers controlled thermal energy directly to the skin. Unlike lasers, which rely on light, Tixel uses direct contact via a titanium tip that transfers heat through conduction, allowing for precise, safe, and comfortable treatment.

During each session, hundreds of microscopic pyramid-shaped pins gently touch the skin for milliseconds, creating tiny thermal contact points without burning or charring. This process stimulates collagen production, smooths fine lines, refines texture, and helps with acne scars, all while being gentle enough for most skin types.

The Science Behind TMA® Technology

At the heart of the Tixel system is a 1 cm² titanium tip composed of pyramid-shaped pins made from biocompatible materials. These pins are heated to 400°C and self-sterilize before each contact. The matrix is applied to the skin at a precisely controlled speed for only milliseconds, long enough to transfer thermal energy safely yet effectively.

This Thermo-Mechanical Action creates an array of tiny, non-ablative coagulation points that trigger natural skin healing and collagen remodeling. Each pin delivers a limited, consistent amount of heat, preventing overtreatment and guarding against burns or tissue damage.

Because Tixel transfers heat through conduction rather than radiation (as lasers do), and operates with a longer pulse duration, patients experience greater comfort and faster recovery compared to traditional CO2 laser treatments. 

Research also shows that this unique energy delivery can create micro-channels in the skin, enhancing absorption of topical agents like peptides and stem cell–based serums used post-treatment.

Benefits of Tixel Skin Rejuvenation

Whether you’re looking to refresh aging skin or smooth uneven texture, Tixel skin rejuvenation offers a gentle yet powerful solution with results you can see and feel.

  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful look.
  • Encourages collagen production to naturally tighten the skin.
  • Improves skin tone and texture for a radiant, even complexion.
  • Helps diminish acne scars and surface irregularities.
  • Offers noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to traditional lasers.

Tixel also opens micro-channels in the skin, making it easier for beneficial ingredients, like peptides and stem cell–based serums, to penetrate and enhance results.

Integrating Stem Cells and Peptides for Enhanced Results

Satori Dermatology is at the forefront of combining Tixel with stem cell–inspired biologics and clinical-grade peptides. These regenerative treatments aim to amplify collagen production, boost elasticity, and support faster skin recovery.

Stem Cell Research

We’re conducting in-house case studies examining how stem cell–derived factors may enhance tissue rejuvenation when paired with Tixel’s thermal stimulation.

Peptide Innovations 

Specific peptides used post-Tixel may help signal the skin to build new collagen and elastin fibers, contributing to tightening and improved tone.

Synergistic Potential

By merging mechanical precision with regenerative science, we seek to achieve longer-lasting effects and healthier skin integrity overall.

What To Expect During Your Visit

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to analyze your skin type, tone, and goals, such as fine line reduction, skin resurfacing, or acne scar softening. Once we determine your unique needs, we’ll craft a personalized protocol that may include Tixel alone or in combination with topical peptides and regenerative serums.

Treatment typically lasts 15–30 minutes, and most patients report mild warmth or redness that subsides within a day or two. Because Tixel is non-laser, downtime is minimal, and results continue to improve as new collagen develops over the following weeks.
