Tixel is an advanced treatment platform that uses Thermo-Mechanical Action, also known as TMA technology, to deliver controlled heat to targeted tissue. Tixel uses direct thermal contact through a specialized titanium tip to support natural renewal, improve tissue function, and provide treatment with minimal downtime.
Dry eye can happen when the tear film is not stable enough to keep the eyes comfortable. One of the most common causes is meibomian gland dysfunction, or MGD. The meibomian glands are tiny oil glands along the eyelids that help produce the protective oil layer of the tears. When these glands become clogged or inflamed, tears evaporate too quickly.
Tixel-i is designed to treat dry eye disease related to MGD. The treatment applies precise thermal energy externally to the upper and lower eyelids. This heat helps support healthier meibomian gland function, improve oil flow, and stabilize the tear film.
For patients who rely on artificial tears but still experience burning, stinging, watering, redness, or fluctuating vision, Tixel-i may be part of a more targeted dry eye treatment plan.
Tixel 2 is a skin rejuvenation device designed for versatility and efficiency. It features dual handpieces that allow providers to transition between larger treatment areas and more delicate areas, such as the skin around the eyes.
Tixel 2 uses TMA technology to create controlled thermal effects in the skin. These brief pulses of heat help stimulate the body’s natural renewal process and support collagen production over time. It may be used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, crepey skin, and peri-orbital aging concerns.

Tixel C is an all-in-one, compact Tixel device designed for skin rejuvenation treatments. Like the other Tixel systems, it uses TMA technology to deliver precise heat through a medical-grade titanium tip.
Tixel C may be used to refresh the skin, improve texture, soften fine lines, and support a smoother, firmer appearance. Treatment plans are customized based on skin concerns, sensitivity, treatment goals, and the area being treated.
Tixel treatments may offer several benefits for the right candidate, including:
• Supports meibomian gland function in dry eye patients
• Helps improve tear film stability related to MGD
• Can treat delicate areas around the eyes
• Supports collagen renewal for smoother-looking skin
• Minimal downtime for many patients
• Customizable treatment settings based on patient needs
A consultation helps determine which Tixel treatment is appropriate. For dry eye symptoms, the evaluation may include a review of the tear film, eyelids, and meibomian glands. For skin concerns, we will assess skin quality, treatment areas, goals, and medical history. Treatment time, comfort level, number of sessions, and recovery depend on the device used and the condition being treated. Our eye care team will explain what to expect before, during, and after care so your plan is safe, personalized, and effective.

My family and I have had excellent care at Wink. The doctors and staff are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The glasses selection ranges from classic to quirky, and the contacts I ordered were a great fit. I especially appreciate how sweet & kid-friendly they are for my child’s eye care! 10/10 ❤️
Doctor Beute and her staff always do a really thorough and thoughtful job on our eye exams and is really good at suggesting the best lenses & contacts for our different vision problems. Highly recommend her and the Wink Team for eye care.
The exams are thorough and accurate. On time and efficient. But most importantly, they are AMAZING with kids. Literally my kids came out saying it was the most fun appt. I would give 5+ stars!
Dr. Beute, was amazing! She was so thorough in her eye exam and answered all my questions. She really embodies the warmth and kindness a healthcare provider should have and I really appreciated that.
Dr Stacy Beute is as thorough as she is kind. We have a family history of glaucoma and other eye issues and she took her time during everyone’s examinations. The staff up front are so accommodating and welcoming as well. I cannot recommend Wink Optical enough.
