Tixel treatment in Amsterdam-Zuid
Tixel is a skin-renewing treatment that uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen production. The result: firmer skin, fewer fine lines and a more refined skin texture — without lasers, without surgery, and with a recovery time of just a few days. At Juuls Clinic in Amsterdam-Zuid, Tixel is performed by Julia, a skin therapist with 15 years of experience.

Who is Tixel for?
Tixel works on skin that is losing its firmness. The most requested treatments at Juuls Clinic:
- Sagging upper eyelids — the eyelid skin becomes firmer and the eye looks more open. It is not an eyelid correction, but it gives a visibly fresher look without surgery.
- Crow’s feet and fine lines under the eyes — the skin becomes thicker and firmer, making lines and dark circles less noticeable.
- Wrinkles and laxity in the face and neck — collagen rebuilding restores the skin’s resilience.
- Sun damage and rough texture on the décolleté and hands — the skin becomes more even and smoother.
- Acne) scars and stretch marks — the structure of scar tissue improves.
- Not sure whether Tixel suits your skin? During the intake we take an Observ skin scan and assess whether Tixel, a laser treatment or a combination will give you the best result.
How does Tixel work?
Tixel uses Thermo-Mechanical Ablation (TMA). A titanium tip with tiny pyramids is heated and touches the skin for a fraction of a second. This creates microscopic channels through which the heat enters the skin. The skin responds with a healing process in which new collagen and elastin are produced.
Because Tixel works with heat rather than light, the treatment is also suitable for darker skin and for the thin skin around the eyes — areas where many lasers cannot be used.
What to expect during treatment
1. Preparation — the skin is cleansed and disinfected. On request we apply a numbing cream (30 minutes to take effect).
2. Tixel — the tip is briefly placed on the skin, area by area. You feel warm pinpricks; most clients find this well tolerable.
3. Aftercare — the skin is soothed and protected. You receive aftercare advice and can go straight home.
Results and recovery
- Immediately — the skin feels tight and warm, like after a day in the sun. Redness fades within 24 hours.
- Days 2–5 — a fine grid of tiny brown dots appears and flakes off on its own.
- After 4–6 weeks — the skin looks fresher and firmer.
- After 3–6 months — the full result is visible; collagen production continues for months after the last session.
For lasting results we recommend a course of 4 to 6 treatments, 4 weeks apart, followed by one maintenance treatment per year.
Frequently asked questions about Tixel
How much does a Tixel treatment cost in Amsterdam?
At Juuls Clinic, Tixel costs €95 for one eyelid, €145 for the eye area and €300 for the full face. Packages of 4 or 6 treatments offer better value.
Does Tixel replace an eyelid correction?
No. Tixel firms the eyelid skin and gives a fresher, more open look, but it does not remove excess skin. For mildly drooping eyelids it is a good alternative without surgery; with a lot of excess skin, surgery remains the most effective option. We tell you this honestly during the intake.
Does Tixel hurt?
You feel warm pinpricks that fade quickly. Most clients find it well tolerable. On request we use a numbing cream.
How many treatments do I need?
Usually 4 to 6, 4 weeks apart. You will see a difference after one treatment; the full result is visible after 3 to 6 months.
How long is the recovery time?
The skin is red and warm for 24 hours. Then fine brown dots appear that flake off within 3 to 5 days. Work and social plans can continue as normal.
Is Tixel suitable for darker skin?
Yes. Because Tixel works with heat rather than light, the risk of pigmentation changes is lower than with lasers. Settings are adjusted to each skin type.
When can I exercise and wear make-up again?
Avoid sport, sauna and make-up for the first 24 hours. After that you can use mineral make-up.
Can I have Tixel during pregnancy?
No. We do not perform Tixel during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or on active skin conditions in the treatment area. We always discuss your medical history during the consultation.
