Why We Love It
Clinically Proven Results
Tixel skin resurfacing benefits have been tested and proven in multiple clinical settings, and its results are well documented.
Less Downtime
The attraction of Tixel is that it requires less than a day of social downtime—no peeling or swelling, with minimal redness or sensitivity.
Versatility
Tixel can be used on all areas of the body, and intensity settings can be adjusted for different severities of skin concerns.
For the Science Babes
Tixel is a new, clinically proven and noninvasive skin treatment device. During a Tixel session, a small heated titanium plate with 81 tiny pyramids passes over the skin in short bursts. This stimulates healing, resurfacing, and tightening deep within the skin. Shot Bar offers Tixel skin resurfacing in Lincoln Park because it has proven results in clinical testing. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of wrinkles around the eye area.
The Play-by-Play
The Tixel Process
Step 1
Consultation
During your in-person or remote consultation, we get to know you, your health history, and goals. We make sure we find the treatment that will work for you. We’ll answer all your questions and then get you scheduled.
Step 2
Treatment
Your first appointment makes you a certified Hotshot with us! Tixel is well-tolerated, but most patients choose a topical numbing agent with treatment. A face treatment will take about 20 minutes once the numbing agent starts working.
Step 3
Next Steps
Your skin might feel tight, warm, or sensitive, similar to spending a day in the sun. You might have mild redness one to three days afterward, especially around the eyes.

Questions? We've Got The Answers
Because the top layer of skin remains intact, recovery time is less than other treatments. Lower settings require even less recovery time. Your skin’s response to Tixel may differ due to your genetics, but most patients can resume daily activities within a few hours.
For best results, the recommended treatment is a course of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with one treatment every six to 12 months thereafter. Open channel treatments can be performed every two to four weeks.
After Tixel skin resurfacing in Lincoln Park, your skin will start producing collagen, and the results will be noticeable after about four to six weeks. Final results will be seen 90 days after your last treatment.
