Hi and welcome to another honest review. Ten days ago I underwent the first of three tixel treatments. Now if you haven't heard of tixel before, it is a skin resurfacing treatment designed to reduce sagging, age spots, wrinkles and scarring. Pretty much all of which I have. You have the treatment in a salon or a cosmetic clinic and whoever is delivering it for you will use a small handheld device that is attached to a bigger machine to send intensive pulses of heat into the skin which feels like you are getting a jab every time they send a pulse. Now that burning puts your skin into repair mode and your body will send collagen to help repair the skin and that's what we hope turns the years back. I decided to have the treatment because I was becoming increasingly depressed about my sagging eyelids which had got so bad on this side that I actually had contact dermatitis from where the eyelid kept rubbing against the mascara and it was irritating it. I took footage of myself immediately before, straight after and in the following days after the treatment so that you could see for yourself what that recovery process looked like and that you can also judge whether it's had any impact. Hi, so I'm about to leave very shortly to go and get this tixel treatment done. First time I've never had it before. I'm going to ask about today instead of getting the whole eye treated is if I could get the upper eyelid done and these lines here to see if I can get kind of overall lift. I know that it's an intensive heat treatment and I'm expecting my eyes to be quite red when I come out of here. Hopefully it will be worth it but we'll soon see. Talk to you soon. I'm back. I just quickly wanted to show you the level of redness. It basically looks like a bad case of sunburn. The tixel treatment itself is it's just quite a small device that delivers targeted very strong heat into the skin and like tiny bursts so they're just dotting it around the skin and every time it hits your skin it feels like a big nip. So to me she started under my eyes and that was the worst and I thought the upper eyelids were going to then be awful but compared to the lower they were fine and then by the time she started to do she just did a little bit of the lines of my forehead but time she started to do that it was absolutely fine. It wasn't bad at all. To be fair it is already beginning to settle down a bit and I believe that tonight she said I would probably feel a bit hot and that's going to continue to be red tomorrow and I'm also not allowed to use my own cleanser or moisturiser for 48 hours they've given me stuff to use and I'm not allowed to use makeup for 48 hours which is quite dramatic but I'll survive. So this is me the next day I had a lot of puffiness this morning, redness I'm going to kind of zoom in so you can see it close up. You can probably see the little grid marks that the treatments left behind on the skin but it won't really be too visible hopefully that'll be easy to cover. I'm glad I'm not in work today I could probably done it you know when I put my glasses on I don't think people would have seen. They have given me cleanser it's a face wash that has what smells like tea tree oil in it and then they also give you a vitamin C serum to promote healing and then moisturiser totally on fragrance. So using those products not wearing makeup at the moment just for 48 hours one of the things to flag up about this as well as that they say you have to stay out of the sun basically on your face for three months afterwards and wear sunscreen. Okay I'll check back in later but what I was talking about the discomfort is that's completely gone there's nothing there today at all maybe just feels a little bit tighter where there's swelling but otherwise I would forget that I'd had it if I didn't look in the mirror. So we were 48 hours in or just coming up to 48 hours in and I still have a lot of puffiness around the eyelids unfortunately which is a very standard response to me this is like I was saying yesterday this is what it looks like when I've got bad dose of hay fever. Everything feels a little bit less angry today although the eyelids have been really itchy overnight but didn't stop me sleeping I just noticed it last late last night and again early this morning it's better probably to show you here where it's more obvious these trap marks I have them all over this roughness under the skin but you can't really see them and I'm still not able to wear makeup on this part of my face but we'll be able to from tomorrow. So this is day three now and I woke up with still a lot of puffiness around my eyes the big thing yesterday was incredible itchiness on my eyelids so I've gone back to using my own epiderm moisturizer which I really like. Yeah it's going to take a little bit of time for my skin to get back to normal. Reading now that it takes up to between six weeks and three months practically for the full effects to take shape but I'll report back after a week and let you see how it's going. One thing I would say is that I think my eyelids are just a little bit more probably because they're puffy but the skin is just maybe slightly less creppy. It's had a big shock though. So ten days on this is what I look like now. First point is that the healing process was much quicker than I'd expected so within four or five days the skin had almost completely healed up and nobody would have noticed I'd had anything done. Ten days on I have to say that I can't say any dramatic difference directly above the eyes or around or underneath but where the skin was really sagging and creppy above my eyes I do see a bit of difference. Yesterday I had a really good day I wish I'd done the video then the eyes looked almost perfect. Today allergies are causing puffing and so I've got a little bit of saggingness. I would say I am back to where I was about a year ago. I'm going to have another two treatments and I'm going to report back to you in six months once I've had the lot done so that you can see the final result. What I'm thinking at the moment is if one treatment has caused a little bit of bounce back in the skin then hopefully three will give me a similar result to something like an eye lift which would have been a very dramatic thing to do. The salon have told me to stay out of the sun for three months and to apply Factor 50 on the skin which I'll do and they've also told me that the improvements in the skin could continue over the next three months. After that point your skin basically goes back to its old aging process so the results could last for about 18 months to two years but the idea is after you've had the first three or four treatments get the result that you want you go back every year. Now the downside of Tixel is the price so depending on where you are in the world you could spend between and this is UK money here between about £300 and £500 or £600 for an eye treatment alone, one treatment and generally clinics will package them up so three eye treatments might cost you something like between £900 and £1300 depending on where you are and where you go. What I would say is if you don't fancy going under the knife and that is a big thought this may be worth a go. Check that out with me in six months I'll show you the very final result.
