TITAN™ by CUTERA™ is a revolutionary skin
and collagen tightening system that effectively improves skin
looseness and stimulates long-term collagen rebuilding. Clinical
results confirm improvement in better than 90 percent of the
patients treated. When compared to radio wave thermal technology, TITAN™ has been shown to
be at least twice as effective.
The TITAN™ procedure treats sagging
and redundant skin throughout the body including the abdomen and
thighs, and is also used to tone, lift, and tighten the skin on the
face. TITAN™ is without
peer as a treatment for the loose and "crepe'y'" skin often found on
older necks and is very effective for the sagging skin found under
upper arms.
Based on infrared energy delivered safely through a sapphire tip, TITAN™ tightens the skin
and reverses the signs of aging safely, comfortably, and without
downtime. The procedure does not require the use of safety
eyewear.
After an initial evaluation of the health of the skin and the
underlying collagen, a thin layer of aloe gel is gently spread on
the area to be treated to facilitate the movement of the treatment
head. The area is treated in dime-sized segments. When the treatment
head is applied, the patient feels an initial cooling and a short
heating cycle followed by a cooling phase. Each cycle lasts
approximately six seconds and multiple passes are typically used.
The brow, lower face, and neck can usually be treated in an
hour.
At the conclusion of the treatment, sunscreen is applied. There
is no downtime and no specific after care is required.
Results begin to be apparent by the conclusion of the treatment
and continue to build over the next 12 weeks. Depending upon the
individual patient, best results are sometimes obtained when the
procedure is repeated in four weeks. Skin tightening has been
shown to last up to two years. |
