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. We recommend that you schedule a complimentary
consultation for a personalized treatment plan.
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)
What is the cost of a Titan procedure?
Cost is determined by the area(s) treated and can range from
$1000 to $2500 (face and neck) per treatment. Our office offers
