Titan (Skin Tightening)

WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE & AFTER TITAN LASER TREATMENT

How does the Titan Laser work?
Titan utilizes a safe infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin’s surface. During the procedure, the skin’s top surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan hand-piece.

What areas respond best to the Titan procedure?
Patients have been successfully treated on many areas of the body. The most common areas treated are the jawline, under the chin, and the abdomen.

Who can be treated?
Since the Titan procedure heats tissue under the skin’s surface, patients of any skin type or age can be treated. Dr. Jackson can advise you if the Titan is right for you.

How many treatments will I need?
Although a single treatment has produced very good results for many patients, it is quite common for patients to have two or three treatments over a few months. Dr. Jackson can advise you as to the number and frequency of treatments recommended for optimal results.

What happens after the treatment?
Immediately following the treatment, you may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. Both should dissipate within a few hours. During your consultation, Dr. Jackson will inform you of the benefits and risks of treatment.

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, though many patients are comfortable without any medication.
