The Titan™ Anti-aging Procedure

Titan™ Skin Tightening

The Titan® skin tightening treatment gives you an all-natural option to tighten loose skin and boost collagen production.  As you age, your skin loses elasticity and collagen production slows.  Titan uses light energy to reverse this process by heat the dermis deep beneath your skin's surface and stimulating “collagenesis.” Titan is an ideal skin tightening solution for your face, abdomen, arms, or just about anywhere without surgery, recovery time, or injections, and patients of any skin type or age can be treated!



 

How does the technology work to improve the skin?

 Titan utilizes a safe, infrared light energy to uniformly distribute heat to the dermis well below the skin’s surface. At the same time the epidermis or skin’s surface is protected through continuous cooling. This process positively affects the deep collagen responsible for giving the skin that “tight” youthful appearance by causing the existing collagen to contract and stimulating new collagen development.

The Titan™ difference:

Other technologies such as Thermage™ and Polaris™ using radio frequency RF make similar claims. It is our opinion, however, after researching a variety of options, that the Titan™ anti-aging procedure is superior for the following reasons. 1) Unlike the other technologies, this procedure has little to no pain associated with it. 2) Uniform distribution of heat provides for an “even” tightening affect. No lumps or bumps. 3) The cooling component on the skin surface is more protecting against skin breakage. 4) Because this technology penetrates at a more appropriate depth, it positively affects deep collagen rather than ineffectively “boiling” the fat underneath.

 

What areas respond best to the Titan procedure?

 Patients have been successfully treated on many areas of the body where skin is lax. “Drooping” skin along the jaw line and under the chin have responded particularly well to the procedure. Laugh lines are improved significantly. Cheek bone areas are tightened and raised making them more prominent. Eyebrows are raised. Marionette lines around the mouth are plumped out. Loose skin on the abdomen, back of the upper arm can also be treated.

Who can be treated?

 Since the Titan™ procedure is heating tissue under the skin’s surface, patients of any skin type can be treated. Our office provides a complimentary consultation to advise you if the Titan ™ procedure is right for you.

How many treatments will I need?

 For best outcomes it is recommended that patients have two treatments spaced four weeks apart. Depending on personal goals, additional treatments may be desired. Darker skinned people need additional treatments. 

What happens after the treatment? Are there any side effects?

 Immediately following treatment, patients often notice redness and some (not all) experience mild swelling in the treatment area. Both dissipate within a few hours.

When will I see results?

 A lot of patients and most of our staff have seen results immediately. For others, the results are gradual over a three to six month period as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens.

What do treatments feel like?

With each Titan™ pulse, you will feel a brief heating sensation. Some people feel discomfort in the temporal area, but the sensation is completely manageable and does not linger. It is over before you can even complain about it. There is absolutely no discomfort after the procedure.
