The new Titan Laser Treatment gives you an all-natural option
to actively turn back the clock on aging skin. Using light energy to stimulate
new collagen growth deep beneath your skin's surface, Titan can tighten skin
on your face, arms, abdomen and legs. It's an ideal solution to enhance your
youthful and health appearance with surgery, recovery time or injections.
What
happens after the treatment? Are there any side effects?
Immediately
following the treatment, you may notice some redness and mild swelling in
the treated area. Both should dissipate within a few hours. Prior to treatment,
we will provide you with complete information on the benefits and risks
of treatment.
When
will I see results?
Some
patients see results immediately. However, for most patients, 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 patients
are more comfortable taking a mild pain reliever beforehand. Many patients
are comfortable without
anything. We will advise you of your options before the treatments begin.
Has
the Titan been tested and approved?
The
Titan has been carefully studied in clinics around the world. It is cleared
for the treatment of wrinkles in Europe and for general dermatologic use
in Canada. In the US, it is cleared for topical heating to increase local tissue
temperatures and circulation. An additional 510(k) clearance is
pending in the US for the treatment of wrinkles.
How
does the Titan work?
Titan
utilizes a safe, 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 procedure?
Patients
have been successfully treated on many areas of the body where skin is lax.
Loose skin on the abdomen, back of the upper arm, along the jaw line and
under the chin
have responded particularly well to the procedure.
Who
can be treated?
Since
the Titan procedure is heating tissue under the skin’s surface, patients
of any skin type can be treated. Men and women of all ages have been successfully
treated. We can advise you if the Titan is right for
you.
How
many treatments will I need?
A single
treatment has produced very good results for many patients. We will be able
to advise you as to the number and frequency
of treatments recommended for optimal
results.
