How effective is Tixel for treating crepey under eyes and crows feet?

Question

Two weeks ago I had my first Tixel treatment to try and improve the texture of the skin under my eyes. I think I can see a slight improvement and I am told improvements will continue to be seen over the next couple of months as collagen renewal is stimulated. I am not in a position to have another treatment for at least 3 months. In the long run, is it worth it?

This will provide some improvement, but this needs a combination approach to get the best outcomes. Lasers combined with fillers and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

The tixel is not available in the US yet so I can't directly answer your question.  I heard a lecture on it at the F.A.C.E. conference in London and it looked promising.  I am chomping at the bit to get a chance to use it!  This area is such a difficult area to treat safely and the tixel looked like it might just do it.  I think 3 months is good interval to wait--the collagen will need time to generate so you will probably not see the full results for at least 3 months.
I am curious to know how it goes.  The true test is what the patients truly experience.  
Thanks!
Dr. Amy
