TITAN Non-Surgical Face Lift
In 2003 over 120,000 facelift surgeries were performed in the US, according to the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgery. By 2005, that number exceeded 157,000, an increase of 30 percent. This exploding interest in retaining a more youthful appearance, combined with a corresponding interest in non-invasive procedures spawned the search for increasingly effective non-invasive face lift procedures as well. From this search, TITAN Skin Rejuvenation has been born.
What is TITAN Skin Tightening?
The TITAN skin tightening system consists of a hand-held, infrared light source and an attached cooling system that protects the skin. TITAN by Cutera, is a new medical device approved by the FDA in 2004, that utilizes infrared light to produce a gentler, more sustained heating of dermis. The TITAN skin tightening procedure represents a breakthrough in non-invasive face lift and body lift skin tightening because it is painless, and does not require anesthetic cream or down time.
TITAN - an important advance in non-surgical face lift & skin tightening technology
TITAN skin tightening requires no skin preparation and does not leave any bruises or scars. Patients can return to work or to their social activities immediately since the skin shows no traces or marks. Results have been immediate for 90% of patients. The degree of improvement compares favorably with that of ThermaCool by Thermage except for much less pain and immediate results in a high percentage of patients.
Where can the TITAN Skin Tightening procedure be used?
While TITAN skin tightening may most often be thought of when considering a nonsurgical face lift procedure, it can also be used effectively on other areas of laxity (sagging & drooping skin), such as the neck, stomach, upper arms, looseness over cellulite and from laxity over prior weight loss.
How does the TITAN Face Lift & TITAN Body Lift Work?
The infrared light penetrates the deep, inner layers of the skin, uniformly heating the existing collagen and subsequently causing it to shrink and firm up. This shrinkage promotes long-term collagen production, which lifts the targeted areas and gives the patient a smoother, more toned appearance. While the infrared light source heats the collagen, the cooling attachment continuously cools the surface skin in order to protect the skin's epidermal surface and prevent any heat-related damage. Multiple passes are made over the skin. Some redness or minor swelling may occur in the treated areas immediately after the procedure, but this subsides within a few hours.
What results can be expected with TITAN skin tightening?
Patients can expect visible improvement within the first three weeks after treatment. Because the treatment promotes collagen production, results may continue to improve for up to six months.
What areas respond best to the TITAN skin tightening procedure?
TITAN skin rejuvenation can tighten and lift the cheeks, jowls, neck and forehead. It can also treat saggy lax skin on areas of the body including abdomen, underarms, arms, buttocks, breast and thighs.
Why choose TITAN skin rejuvenation?
The TITAN is safer and more effective than traditional non surgical skin rejuvenating treatments. Other heat treatments used in non-surgical face lifts or body lifts use radio frequencies, which can burn the skin and may require a significant recovery period. Unlike other forms of heat treatment, TITAN&Regis; skin technology offers an effective alternative to surgery with minimal side effects and virtually no recovery time. Most patients resume normal activities immediately following the procedure.
How many TITAN treatments will you need?
It takes 3 TITAN treatments to achieve optimal results, although many clients notice a difference after the first treatment.
