Titan is a skin-tightening technology used for lax and sagging skin at the jawline, abdomen, knees, forehead, and upper neck. It is a laser skincare treatment suitable for patients of any age or skin type.
Titan uses infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin’s surface. During the procedure, the skin’s outside surface is protected through continuous cooling from the Titan hand piece. The heat in the deeper layer stimulates long-term collagen growth. It is a revolutionary new technology from Cutera which facilitates the tightening of the skin through a non-surgical, non-ablative procedure. Using infra-red light, the Titan delivers controlled pulses of infra-red light to the skin, creating precise, deep dermal heating, while limiting the penetration depth of the heat to the deeper tissues. This dermal heating is a highly effective and safe method for tightening the skin, stimulating collagen production and remodeling, leading to a more youthful appearance.
Titan Skin Tightening procedures represent an important and recent advance allowing derma-surgeons to achieve 3-dimensional rejuvenation of the face and body without surgery. The Titan utilizes a pulsed broadband infrared source of 850-3000nm.
With each Titan pulse you will feel a brief heating sensation. Some patients are more comfortable taking a mild pain reliever beforehand, but most patients are comfortable without any medication. Immediately following the treatment, you may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. Both usually dissipate within a few hours. Without significant pain or downtime, Titan can erase the years and achieve a more vibrant and overall refreshed look. This procedure is appropriate for someone who has noticed that his or her face and neck skin is not as taut as it once was, for a new mother whose tummy is not as tight and smooth as it used to be, or a patient who has experienced a significant weight loss and needs to tighten loose skin.
Skin Tightening is often combined with Photo Rejuvenation, and Laser Facials/Laser Genesis for improving texture, tone and sun-damaged skin. When these procedures are used in combination we refer to the treatment as 3D SKIN REJUVENATION.
All our staff are fully trained and qualified in the procedures they provide.
