What is Titan?
The Titan procedure? is a safe, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The Titan heats the dermis to cause collagen contraction while protecting the skin through continuous cooling. Titan can stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with tighter, younger looking skin. The treatments can take under an hour and be performed during a lunch break.

What areas can be treated?
The Titan Procedure treats lax and redundant skin throughout the body including the abdomen, thighs and arms and is also used to tone, lift and tighten skin on the face and neck. The best candidates are people in their 40's and 50's who are beginning to notice a reduction in their skin's elasticity.

What does the treatment do?
The Titan Procedure utilizes a blended, infrared light source to reverse the signs of aging. Titan creates significant heating in the dermis, essentially tricking the body into repairing the skin. The overall skin structure contracts due to the applied heat and subsequent collagen denaturing which continues over time.

How does it work?
The infrared light source delivers uniform, even heating to the dermal layer of the skin down to 2.5mm. After pre-cooling prepares the area, continuous cooling is used to protect the skin during treatment. The heat profile denatures collagen fibers and provides immediate collagen contraction. As heat spreads from the treatment area, post-cooling protects the epidermis.

Do Titan treatments hurt?
The laser pulse is often described as a wave of heat that gradually increases during the five to seven second pulse of the Titan handpiece. The Titan is equipped with a skin-cooling system which allows the continuous direct cooling of the epidermis during treatment to minimize discomfort. Our customers tolerate Titan well without the use of anesthetics unlike Thermage treatments which are extremely painful.

Is it safe?
Absolutely. The Titan procedure utilizes a blend of invisible wavelengths of light that are designed to heat the dermal layer of the skin while protecting the epidermis. After treatment, it is common to see either no reaction or some mild skin irritation or redness that resolves very quickly.

When will I see results?
Some people will see some results immediately. Most people will begin to see tightening in the treated area about three weeks following treatment. And improvement can continue, even up to six months after a treatment.
