Titan Laser Skin Tightening

Who can be treated?
Clients of any skin type can be treated. The effect is in the deep dermis, so skin type is not an issue. Men and women of all ages who have an area of lax skin have been treated successfully.

Is Titan different than other skin tightening systems?
Titan is a newer technology that employs light energy. Other systems use radiofrequency. Light energy provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis. This minimizes the discomfort and does not result in loss of fat in the skin.

How many treatments will I need?
Occasionally a single treatment will achieve desired results. Most doctors advise clients that two to three treatments with the Titan Laser is most common. Treatments should be spaced one month apart.

What do the Treatments feel like? Any side effects?
With each Titan pulse, you will feel a brief heating sensation that peaks in intensity with mild discomfort. Usually each area is treated once, then a second pass is performed.
Immediately after the treatment you may notice some redness and swelling that usually dissipates in minutes, occasionally takes a few hours.

When do I see results?
Some patients see results immediately. Most patients see a gradual tightening over three to six months as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens.

How does the Titan work?
Titan utilizes infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin's surface. This heating can cause immediate collagen contraction. During the procedure, the skin's surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan handpiece. After the procedure, new collagen growth results in further tightening and the development of a more youthful complexion with less lines, folds or looseness of the skin.

What areas respond best to the Titan?
Patients have been successfully treated on all areas of the body, with loose skin on the abdomen, back of the upper arm, along the jaw line and under the chin responding particularly well to the procedure.
