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 on the abdomen, back of the arms, 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. Your physician can advise
you if the Titan is right for you.
How many treatments will be needed?
A single treatment has produced very good results for many patients.
Your physician will advise you as to the number and frequency of
treatments recommended for optimal results.
What happens after the treatment?
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. Consult with your medical professional for 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 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, your
physician will advice.
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 temperature and
circulation. An additional 510(k) clearance is pending in the US for
the treatment of wrinkles.
