Interventions
Tixel C by Novoxel®, Israel is a thermomechanical system developed for fractional treatment. The system is designed for the treatment of soft tissue by direct conduction of heat, enabling tissue coagulation combined with micro ablation with low thermal damage to the surrounding tissue.
Thermal pulsation (LipiFlow) consists of the localized application of heat and therapeutic pressure on the four eyelids (upper and lower) with the aim of improving drainage of the Meibomian glands.
