Tixel-I

What is Tixel I?

2-minute Dry Eye relief

Tixel® i is an FDA-cleared treatment for Evaporative Dry Eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). It uses precisely controlled heat and gentle pressure to restore gland function.

Powered by Thermo-Mechanical Action®, Tixel delivers brief (6 ms) pulses of high heat through a Titanium-coated, self-disinfecting tip — safely and effectively.

Unlike other treatments that can take up to an hour and may involve radiation, Tixel i treats both eyes in just 2 minutes.

Its safety and results are supported by multiple clinical studies, including a U.S. multi-center
trial with 6-month follow-up.

Why Choose Tixel

It is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects.

Tixel® treats all delicate areas, including the periorbital area: upper lid, lower lid, and crow’s feet for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening.

Tixel® is radiation and laser-free! No burns, bleeding, fumes, or carbonization during treatment.

During operation, the tip maintains a temperature of 400°C, which is safe and self-sterilizing, preventing infection with minimum side effects.
