⚠️It’s recently been discovered that counterfeit Tixel devices are being sold in South Africa.
☣️Tixel is a thermomechanical fractional ablative Class II medical device, meticulously manufactured in Germany to meet the highest international standards.
‼️Imagine being offered a pacemaker for R500, knowing it typically costs tens of thousands. Would you trust it? If your answer is no, then why risk your skin with a counterfeit device?
⛔️Counterfeit equipment may be cheaper, but it comes with serious risks: inferior parts, no authentic research, lack of clinical trials, no FDA or Medical CE approval, no SAHPRA registration, and uncertified training. These shortcuts can lead to burns, scarring, and long-term damage.
👍A genuine device undergoes extensive research and development, is FDA and/or Medical CE approved, has passed rigorous clinical trials, is SAHPRA approved for import, and is supported by fully certified trainers.
⚠️For practitioners: If you’re considering offering Tixel treatments, please prioritise quality and safety. If you can’t afford the genuine device, please do not buy a fake. Your patients’ well-being should always come first.
