Is Tightening Laser the newest laser for Laser Facelift?
Titan utilizes a safe, infrared spectrum of light that this delivered to the dermis well below the outer skin's surface. There is no down time and no external injury to the skin. There are no external wounds to care for. A person can return to work right after the procedure.

How does the Tightening Laser work?
The Titan laser works by having the laser's light react with the water that is within the deeper layers of the skin (dermis). The energy released between the light and the water causes the water within the dermis to heat up. The elevation of the skin's temperature is only to a certain temperature that is favorable for collagen contraction. This light generated heat causes immediate collagen contraction within the dermis of the skin.

What does set apart Tightening Laser from other lasers?
Titan employs light energy because it provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, such as RF (radio frequency).

What areas respond best to the Tightening Laser procedures?
Patients have been successfully treated on many areas on the body where skin is lax. Loose skin on the abdomen, back of the upper arm, along the jaw line and under the chin, have responded particularly well to the procedure. The face is the most commonly treated area, especially for improving the jaw line and neck laxity.
