The Beauty Edit

Tixel vs. SkinPen

Two powerful treatments. Beautiful results. Different technologies. Unique benefits.

Thermal mechanical action

Tixel

Uses heat and pressure to create tiny channels in the skin — stimulating natural collagen and elastin without lasers or needles.

Best for

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin laxity
  • Crepey texture
  • Uneven tone
  • Scars
  • Delicate eyelid rejuvenation

How it works

Precise heat and pressure. Targets surface and deeper layers. Ideal for delicate areas: eyes, lids, neck, and chest.

Treatment areas

Eyes and eyelids, forehead, full face, neck and décolleté, perioral (around the mouth), scars and stretch marks, hands and body.

Downtime
Redness and mild swelling. Usually 3–5 days.
Series
Typically 3–4 treatments, about a month apart.

Results. Smoother, tighter, more youthful skin. Fine lines, laxity, and texture continue to improve 2–3 weeks after each visit and out to 3–6 months.

Microneedling

SkinPen

A medical-grade microneedling treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate natural collagen and elastin and improve texture, tone, and overall quality.

Best for

  • Acne scars
  • Texture and pore size
  • Overall skin rejuvenation
  • Mild to moderate scarring
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven tone

How it works

Collagen induction therapy. Controlled micro-channels. A stronger natural healing response. FDA-cleared medical-grade device.

Treatment areas

Face, neck, chest, hands, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks.

Downtime
Redness similar to a sunburn. Mild swelling. Usually 3–5 days.
Series
Typically 3–4 treatments, 4–6 weeks apart.

Investment. Single treatment $400. Package of 3 $999. Add $50 when the neck is included.

Results. Healthier, firmer, brighter skin. Acne scars and texture keep changing over 3–6 months.

Not sure which is right?

That is the consult. Skin type, downtime you can live with, and the concern on the table decide the device — not a flyer.
