TMA® TECHNOLOGY
MOTION & HEAT: THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION
TMA® is a technology, specially developed by Novoxel®, that’s forward in thinking and in its action. It uniquely combines motion and heat with the forward movement of a medical-grade titanium tip. This proprietary non-laser fractional technology transfers thermal energy to skin very quickly and safely: energy is emitted through a matrix of tiny pyramid-shaped pins made of biocompatible materials covering a treatment area of 1cm². The pins are heated to a temperature of 400°C and are self-sterilized.
During treatment, the pins are introduced to the surface of the skin at a precisely-controlled speed and create brief contact with the skin lasting only a few milliseconds. This enables the thermal energy stored in the pins to be transferred to the skin. The thermal transfer results in an array of tiny non-ablative coagulation sites. Because the tiny tip pyramids hold a limited amount of energy, burns and tissue charring are prevented.
The reason why pain is relatively low during treatment with Tixel® compared to the ablative CO₂ laser is primarily due to the transfer of a relatively lower amount of energy to the skin by Tixel®. This is made possible by utilization of a more efficient energy transfer method (conduction vs. radiation) and the longer pulse duration (e.g. 10ms vs. 1ms) of Tixel as compared to the CO₂ laser.
Research shows that TMA™ creates superficial channels in the stratum corneum, allowing enhanced permeability to topically applied hydrophilic substances, that are applied after treatment. Tixel®’s intended use does not currently include tissue permeability enhancement.
