Titan Skin Tightening System

The Titan™ Procedure is a safe, comfortable, non-surgical treatment for treating lax and redundant skin for the face or the body. Using light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skin's surface, Titan effectively stimulates long-term collagen rebuilding, which further enhances results over time. Made by Cutera, Inc., of Brisbane, California, Titan™ is a non-ablative medical device that has been successful in producing skin contraction leading to lifting of eyebrows and/or improvement of lower face and neck skin laxity - a fantastic alternative to a traditional surgical face lift. Titan is also an ideal solution for your abdomen, arms, upper chest and thighs.

Most patients notice immediate changes which gradually improve over several weeks. There is no down time and no incisions or scars.

Many patients look much better and younger after the procedure, because the results are a remarkable natural look which plastic surgery rarely can match. For the face, skin contraction achieved is in the order of 1 to 4 millimeters. While that may not sound dramatic, the changes induced by such contraction are perceptible and significant when it comes to lifting eyebrows or minimizing the naso-labial fold. Follow-up visits show that the improvement has been maintained and even increased.

Skin Tight in a New Light

How does the Cutera Titan 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 handpiece.

The Titan Difference

Titan's light-based platform 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 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. After a consultation, Dr. Andrew Kwak 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. Kwak will 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. Consult with Dr. Kwak for complete information on 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. Many patients are comfortable without any medication. Dr. Kwak will advise you.
