Sentient Tixel® - La Boussole

No lasers. No needles. No radiation. No pain.

La Boussole Medical Spa & Wellness Center is proud to offer Tixel®, by Sentient, a revolutionary skin resurfacing treatment that delivers powerful, visible results—without the discomfort, downtime, or seasonal limitations of lasers, peels, or microneedling. Tixel is ideal for individuals of all skin types seeking safe, non-invasive skin rejuvenation for the face and body—any time of year.

New to the U.S. but clinically proven in Europe since 2012, Tixel is powered by exclusive Thermal-Mechanical Action (TMA)® Technology, the first of its kind. This cutting-edge technology delivers controlled heat via a medical-grade titanium tip, resulting in smoother, tighter, more radiant skin—without lasers, needles, radiation, or aggressive treatments. And unlike laser treatments, which often require you to avoid sun exposure before and after your session, Tixel can be safely performed year-round—even in the summer months.

Key Benefits:

Fast Results: Enjoy noticeable improvements quickly—especially in stubborn areas like crow’s feet, under-eye wrinkles, and smoker’s lines around the mouth.

Well-Tolerated: Tixel treatments are comfortable and generally require little to no topical numbing, making it an excellent option for those with sensitive skin.

No Social Downtime: Return to your regular activities immediately after treatment. In most cases, makeup can be applied just 24 hours later.

Safe and Versatile: Safe for all skin types—including those with melasma, acne, hyperpigmentation, and darker skin tones who may not be good candidates for lasers or peels.

All-Season Treatment: Tixel is safe and effective year-round, with no need to avoid sunlight before or after your appointment.

Now Treating the Delicate Eye Area—Even Eyelids!

Tixel is one of the very few skin resurfacing devices approved for use directly on the eyelids and under-eye area. Unlike lasers and other treatments that pose risks due to the skin’s thinness and proximity to the eye, Tixel’s gentle, precise thermal delivery makes it safe and effective for:

Lifting droopy eyelids
Smoothing fine lines and crepey skin around the eyes
Reducing under-eye bags and puffiness
Improving skin firmness without surgery or injectables

If you've been told you're not a candidate for laser treatments near your eyes—or if you're seeking a non-surgical solution for eyelid rejuvenation—Tixel offers a safe and highly effective alternative.

How It Works:

Tixel uses patented TMA® (Thermal-Mechanical Action) technology to transfer pure, controlled heat into the skin through a smooth, fast application of a heated titanium tip. This non-laser, non-ablative method stimulates collagen production and cellular regeneration while preserving the surrounding tissue—ensuring maximum results with minimal irritation.

Distinguishing Features:

Non-Laser Technology: Tixel does not rely on radiation, light, or aggressive chemicals. It uses motion and heat alone to remodel and tighten skin.

Gentle but Effective: With less lateral heat spread than fractional lasers or radiofrequency, Tixel is gentler on surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of inflammation or pigmentation changes.

Non-Invasive: No cutting, no injections, and no downtime typically associated with surgery or deeper ablative procedures.

Minimal Downtime: Most clients experience only mild redness—similar to a light sunburn—and can resume normal skincare and makeup application within a day.

Treatable Areas:

Delicate skin around the eyes and eyelids
Under-eye bags and wrinkles
Perioral lines (around the mouth)
Forehead and glabella (frown lines)
Neck and décolleté
Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and arms
Hands, arms, and knees
Acne scars, active acne, and general skin texture improvement

Tixel is FDA-cleared, safe to use year-round in any climate, and suitable for all ages and skin tones. Whether you're looking to smooth fine lines, reduce pigment irregularities, tighten lax skin, or refresh your overall complexion—even around your eyes—Tixel offers a simple, elegant solution with lasting results.
