We’ve all done it - stood in front of the mirror and gently pulled back the loose skin of our face, neck, or eyes. It’s like pulling back the years to a more tone and radiant time. Now, the Cutera Titan gives you an all natural option to enhance the health and appearance of your skin. The Titan uses light energy to gently and safely heat the dermis deep beneath your skin’s surface. Without surgery, down time, or injections, Titan is the ideal solution to help lift and tighten the skin of your face, neck, abdomen, and more!

How does Titan work?
As time marches on, our collagen fibers become loose and stretched out, thus causing our skin to appear loose and stretched out. By using infrared light, the Titan gently heats the dermis, which causes the collagen fibers to contract and tighten. This lifting and tightening effect can be seen by most patients immediately following the treatment. The same light energy also stimulates the body to increase it’s production of collagen over the next 1 to 3 months, thereby continuing the skin tightening process to more healthy, radiant skin.

What areas of the body can be treated?
• Face (nasolabial and marionette lines)
• Eyes (to lift sagging eyelids and smooth bags beneath the eyes)
• Neck (jowls and turkey necks)
• Abdomen
• Arms

Who can be treated?
Men and women whose skin is beginning to show the signs of age with lax skin around the eyes, face, neck, and jaw line are excellent candidates for the Titan procedure. Also,post-pregnancy mothers who have lost the baby weight but haven’t been able to tighten up the loose skin of the abdomen, can see remarkable results with the Titan. All skin types, including tan skin, can be safely treated year around.

How many treatments will I need?
Most patients will have a noticeable improvement after one treatment. However, optimal results typically require 2 to 3 treatments over several months. Please contact us to schedule your personalized consultation today!

What are the treatments like?
Depending upon the area(s) treated, the procedure can last from 1-2 hours. Chilled gel is applied over the area to be treated for safety and comfort. Most patients report little to no discomfort during their Titan treatment. Following the procedure, there may be mild redness that typically resolves in a matter of a few hours. Many patients will notice a ‘tight’ sensation of their skin. There are no restrictions following the Titan procedure and patients can immediately return to normal activities.

How does the Titan compare to Thermage?
Titan’s infrared technology offers a safer, more comfortable treatment for patients compared to Thermage and radiofrequency. In numerous studies, Titan also demonstrated a higher percentage of patients had excellent improvement in skin tightening. (Dermatologic Surgery, May 2006)
