The Titan delivers an intense but brief pulse of light which is repeated over the
entire area being treated. The sensation is that of heat which increases over a few
seconds and then dissipates before it has a chance to feel painful. Most patients
find the procedure quite tolerable and no anesthesia is required. After the Titan
procedure, most patients report a tighter, firmer feeling to the skin as well as a
feeling of warmth for about 30 minutes afterwards.

Many patients experience excellent results with just one treatment however, optimal
results are typically achieved after six "passes" (treatments). This is usually
accomplished in two to three treatment sessions spaced three to six weeks apart.
Your laser specialist will advise you on the optimal treatment regimen right for you.

No, because there is basically no reddening, swelling, or scaring from this
procedure so one can have the Titan performed on a long lunch hour and go right
back to work without any negative signs on the skin. In fact, Titan results are
often instantaneous and enhance the look of the skin by the end of the procedure.

Remarkably, the Titan procedure reawakens and encourages long-term healthy collagen
production so even after the treatment your skin continues to renew and replenish
itself naturally. In fact, although positive results are often seen immediately after
the first treatment, accelerated collagen production continues for at least six months
before reaching a plateau of steady repair work. Because the natural aging process is
of course continuing, it is difficult to state precisely how long results will last
but benefits seem apparent for many years. Sun protection and meticulous skin care are
necessary to maintain optimal results.

The length of the Titan procedure depends on the number of passes being performed
and the area being treated. Titan of the entire face generally takes about one
hour per session.

Cosmetic surgery is invasive and involves cutting and stitching as well as a
recovery period during which there is generally swelling and pain. Anesthesia is
required, which also carries some risk and of course there is the cost involved
with surgery, anesthesia, the operating room, and recovery time. While the results
may be quickly marvelous, they can also be tragically off the mark and irreversible
as in later years, when the skin begins to sag once again, there may be a strange
look to the facial features as they do not sag uniformly after cosmetic surgery.
In contrast, Titan repairs the skin by stirring up natural healing mechanisms in
the body which creates both natural results in tightening and uniform relaxation
even in later years. Plus, as the normal aging process continues, laser treatments
can safely be repeated causing the skin to continuing improving over time where with
surgery there is no such promise.
