Titan: Skin Tightening Without Surgery

10 January 2009 299 views No Comment

Titan is the latest word in technology for the rejuvenation of the skin: an infrared laser light recently approved by the FDA that works miracles with flaccidity. The treatment is virtually painless and once it is done, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterwards.

This treatment, which is similar to a surgical facelift with a flatter skin stretched and lifted, takes approximately one hour per session depending on the area to be treated. The results are very visible straight away, the appearance of the facial skin changes dramatically and in just one session the person will get to see the first results; however full benefits will not be observed for at least three to six months.

The infrared light travels through to deeper layers of skin causing the tightening of the collagen architecture. Although the heat is applied deep within the skin, some swelling and redness may occur, but the risk associated with the traditional face-lifting procedures are eliminated. Its application does not require the use of anaesthetics in the area, although some doctors apply very light anaesthetics to reduce discomfort.

It is recommended to leave a gap of about 20 days to a month between the first and second session and 15 days between the following ones since the collagen responds better to treatment while the dermis is still a little swollen. The implementation of this technology is brand new; nonetheless it is advised that the patient repeats the treatment every three years to maintain the results obtained through time.

Developed in the USA, this treatment is the most remarkable development in cosmetic technology today. It is non-intrusive, it involves no pain and it can be applied to a number of areas in the body, as well as the face. In a few months from now, Titan will become a new source of youth, providing nothing less than skin tightening without surgery worldwide. Titan is a safe procedure which tackles the signs of ageing with minimal to no side-effects.
