Aztec Services launches Novoxel Tixel
Aztec Services has launched Novoxel Tixel.Tixel is a novel device based on a thermo-mechanical ablation technology that combines sophisticated motion and temperature control.
The fractional technology is used to transfer very precise thermal energy to the skin, thereby creating an array of micro-channels, with minimal pain or inconvenience.
The Tixel system can deliver fractional CO2 laser-like results but with many advantages. It is not a laser so no laser precautions are necessary. It produces less charring than CO2 laser, meaning the recovery time is less, and very importantly, it is significantly shorter painful, meaning most patients can tolerate the treatment without the use of any anaesthesia.
"Tixel produces outstanding results and has become indispensable in my dermatology clinic”, says Dr Sajjad Rajpar, consultant dermatologist, Belgravia Dermatology. “It allows me to offer fractional resurfacing for ageing and acne scarring safely to all skin types.
"In addition, the open-channel mode for transdermal delivery of topical agents has many exciting applications for a dermatologist and has revolutionised my management of conditions such as melasma."
