The Titan laser is an FDA-cleared infrared device that’s designed to tighten skin on the face, neck, stomach, and upper arms. The infrared energy heats the dermis beneath the skin’s surface, which stimulates collagen production and creates firmer, tighter skin over time.
As skin ages, collagen fibers begin to stretch and collagen production slows, resulting in sagging skin.
The Titan procedure works two ways:
- First, it heats the weakened collagen, causing it to immediately contract and thicken.
- Second, it creates micro injuries to the dermal layer of skin, boosting the production of new collagen over the next several months.
The results from Titan skin tightening won’t be nearly as dramatic as they would be with surgical procedures such as a facelift, eyelid lift, neck lift, and arm lifts or tummy tucks. But it can be a good option for people looking for modest results without the risks of surgery.
