FAQ: Titan Skin Tightening

How does the Titan Skin Tightening Technology work?

The wand of the Titan is applied to the skin. The surface of the wand has a device for cooling the top layers of the skin to protect the epidermis from damage. The Titan sends infrared light through the protected top layers of the skin into 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 procedure itself takes approximately one hour, although the amount of time depends on the size of the area being treated. The Titan is usually used in a series of three sessions one month apart.

The results of Titan Skin Tightening Technology may be seen within a few weeks of 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 other therma-lifting techniques is that the skin and underlying fat is heated uniformly avoiding differential heating of the fat; therefore, the risk of dents and atrophy of the skin is much less likely.

Is the Titan Skin Tightening Technology painful?

Introducing heat into the deep layers of the skin can be painful, although the powers used are relatively comfortable.

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, asymmetry, 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.

People respond differently to this type of treatment; some receive mor benefit than others.

Is there a cost?

The cost depends on the area being treated and will be discussed during the consultation. Payment is the responsibility of the patient on the day of treatment.
