Non Surgical Skin Tightening

The Procedure is a safe, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The Titan procedure heats the dermis to cause collagen contraction while preserving the epidermis through continuous cooling. In addition, Titan can stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger looking skin. Excellent long term results are obtained for those who want to tighten their skin, correct asymetry, eye brow lifting Etc.

Thermage ThermaCool treatments represent non-laser energy applied to the skin for the purpose of skin tightening. The energy delivered with these devices tightens skin tissue at varied levels while cooling the outer layers of skin. This leads to cosmetic improvement without any obvious wound.

Based on the pioneering research performed by internationally recognized laser centers, it has become clear that these devices can accomplish what has been unobtainable with prior laser devices. Those who wish to forestall a surgical facelift or surgical browlift can accomplish some tissue tightening through a series of lunchtime treatments. Those who want to tighten abdominal, knee, arm or elbow skin can do the same. Treatment is undertaken and a patient immediately returns to her normal daily activities. These pioneering new technologies not meant to replace a more aggressive surgical procedure. They are the ideal alternative for the younger person who is just beginning to see some jowls, drooping of their eyebrows or hanging skin elsewhere on the body. Periodic touchup procedures are required.

Because of the non-invasive nature of this treatment, it is ideally combined with other cosmetic treatments such as fillers and BOTOX injections as well as other non-invasive laser procedures.
