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 hand piece.  After the procedure, the new collagen growth results in further tightening and the development of a more youthful complexion with less lines, folds, or looseness of the skin.

The Titan Difference
Titan employs light energy because it provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, such as RF (radio frequency)

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 found on the abdomen, the back of the upper arms, along the jaw line and under the chin have responded particularly well to the procedure.

Who can be treated?
Since 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.  Your physician 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 some patients.  However, your physician will advise you as to the number and frequency recommended for optimal results.

What happens after the treatments? Any side effects?
Immediately after the treatment you may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area.  Both should dissipate within a few hours.  Consult your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risk of the treatment.

When will I see results?
Some patients see results immediately.  For most patients, however,  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.  Although some patients are more comfortable taking a mild pain reliever beforehand, many are comfortable without anything.  Your physician will advise you.

Has the Titan been tested and approved?
The Titan has been carefully studied in numerous clinics worldwide.  It is cleared for treatments of wrinkles in Europe and for general dermatological 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.
