The Novoxel
®
Tip, or “Tip”
A metallic element, permanently mounted on the Handpiece of the
device, which performs the interaction with the treated tissue.
Several configurations/sizes exist, see description further down
this document.
The Tixel2 Handpiece
A handheld apparatus, which is used by the operator to perform
treatments. The Handpiece contains the Novoxel
®
Tip.
Pulse and Pulse Credit
A back and forth motion of the Tip extending it towards the tissue
to be treated. A pulse is performed by pressing the Handpiece
trigger. A treatment is typically comprised of multiple pulses on
adjacent areas. The length of the pulse, or the “pulse duration”, is
controlled by the Tixel2 device’s Graphic User Interface (or GUI).
The Tixel2 arrives with a complimentary pulse credit. Once
exhausted, more pulse credit may be purchased by the customer.
Single/ Double Pulse Mode
The Tixel2 device may be operated in either single or double pulse
mode, which means that pressing the trigger of the Tixel2
Handpiece may result in either one or two pulses, depending on
user selection.
Overlapping
Performing more than one pulse on the skin at the same location.
“Criss-Cross”
Performing two pulses on the same location but at a different
Handpiece and Tip orientation. Further details, are available in the
operation segment of this manual.
Protrusion
The relative distance which the Tip’s vertices protrude beyond the
distance gauge’s distal end of the Handpiece towards the treated
tissue when a pulse is performed. The protrusion distance is
controlled by the Tixel2 device’s Graphic User Interface (or GUI).
