It can be used for tightening skin over various areas of the
body, including the forehead, the lower face along the chin line,
under the eyes, the hands, the abdomen, around the knees, and in
some cases the breasts.
How Does the Titan Skin Tightening Technology
Work?
The infrared light travels through the to the deeper
layers of the skin causing tightening of the collagen architecture.
Because the heat is applied deep within the
skin, some swelling and redness may be seen. The procedures takes approximately one
hour.
The results of Titan Skin Tightening Technology may be seen
within a few weeks of the treatment, however the full benefits are
usually not observed for three to six months. This is probably the
most difficult part of this procedure as the effects of the
treatment are not seen immediately.
The advantage of the Titan over the therma-lifting techniques is
that the skin and underlying fat is heated uniformly avoiding
differential heating of the fat; therefore, the risks of dents and
atrophy of the skin is much less likely.
Is the Titan Skin Tightening Technology Safe?
The Titan Skin Tightening Technology is safe. As with any
treatment of the skin, potential complications can occur.
Complications such as, scar, pigment irregularity, nerve damage,
indentations and burns are possible, although rare.
What Kind of Results Can Be Expected?
Some patients see subtle results within a couple of weeks of the
treatment, however, for most patients the results gradually appear
over a three to six month period. Patience and realistic
expectations are required.
What Does It Cost?
The cost depends on the area being treated and will be discussed
during the consultation.
Titan utilizes a safe infrared light source with a
unique wavelength filtering design to uniformly heat the dermis. The non-invasive Titan
Procedure protects the epidermis through continous contact cooling while the
infrared light heats the deep dermis. No down-time or pain
medication is required. It is a nonablative, nonsurgical lifting procedure which
causes the collagen in the dermis to contract and tighten. It is not
a laser but it does employ infrared light to lift and
tighten the skin so that gravity changes are softened,
fine wrinkles are less obvious and pores are shrunk.
