Titan® (Skin Tightening)
What is Titan®?
Titan® is a safe, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light
source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. Titan® heats the
dermis to cause collagen contraction while preserving the epidermis
through continuous cooling. In addition, Titan® can stimulate long-term
collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger looking skin.
Titan® treats lax and redundant skin throughout the body, including the stomach, thighs and arms, and is also used to tone, lift and tighten skin on the face and neck.
What areas respond best to the procedure?
Titan® has successfully treated patients on many areas of the body
where the skin is lax, including the face, neck, abdomen and arms.
Titan® can also be effective treating around the eyes and knees.
How does Titan® work?
Titan® utilizes a safe infrared light to heat the dermis well below the
skin's surface. During the treatment, the skin's top layer (epidermis)
is protected through continuous cooling.
How is Titan® different?
Titan's light based platform provides a more uniform distribution of
energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources such as
radiofrequency.
Who can be treated?
Any skin type and age can be treated. Titan® has proven especially effective for post-natal skin laxity.
How many treatments are necessary?
Single treatments have produced very good results for most patients.
However, it is common for patients to have two or three treatments over
a few months to achieve maximum results. This will be determined at the
time of the first consultation.
What kind of improvement is expected?
You can expect tighter, smoother skin on treated areas, along with an
improvement in overall skin tone (fillers or surgical
procedures cannot achieve this). Immediately following the procedure,
the collagen starts contracting. Over the weeks following, and as
patients have more treatments, the results are going to build, as
collagen is tightening continuously for 6 months.
Face and Neck Tightening
What do treatments feel like?
Each Titan® pulse produces a brief heating sensation.
What happens after the treatment?
With Titan®, there is no downtime after the procedure; however, you may
notice a slight pink color immediately after the treatment. This should
subside within half an hour.
