This is the main sub title and is needed for each block.
Can Tixel Cause Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation (PIH) Risk:
More common in Fitzpatrick III-VI skin types.
Can occur if the skin is not prepped correctly before treatment.
Why It Happens:
Heat exposure can trigger excess melanin production.
Leads to dark patches in the treated area.
How to Prevent It:
Apply SPF 50+ daily, even if you’re indoors.
Avoid tanning or direct sun exposure before and after treatment.
Use a dermatologist-recommended brightening serum post-treatment if needed.
Hypopigmentation (Loss of Pigment):
Rare but possible in aggressive treatments.
Occurs if the skin overreacts to heat, leaving lighter patches.
What About Sensitivity, Irritation, or Allergic Reactions?
Prolonged Redness:
It can last beyond the usual 48 hours in rare cases.
More common in very sensitive or reactive skin types.
Irritation and Burning Sensation:
The skin may feel overly warm, tight, or slightly itchy.
Avoid using active skincare ingredients (retinoids, acids) until fully healed.
Allergic Reactions?
Extremely rare since Tixel does not involve foreign substances.
If you have a history of eczema or sensitive skin, consult your provider first.
Can Blistering or Scarring Happen with Tixel?
Blistering:
Usually due to excessive heat settings or over-treatment.
More common in delicate areas like the eyelids or bony regions.
If blisters appear, do NOT pop them—apply a healing ointment and let them resolve naturally.
Scarring Risk:
Very low compared to laser treatments.
Risk increases if aftercare is ignored, such as picking at crusts or exposing treated skin to UV rays.
Keep the skin hydrated and protected until fully healed.
