Mahaveer Mehta, Dubai based Dermatologist, Introduces Titan Facelift and Body lift; Noninvasive, Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Solution; Avoids Invasive Cosmetic Procedures
The Titan Procedure is a safe, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The Titan 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 wants to tighten their skin without side effects and do not wish to go under the surgical knife.
(PRWEB) June 30, 2005 -- Dr. Mahaveer Mehta Medical Center, Dubai, United
Arab Emirates, is one of the first in this part of world to have the latest safe
light based solution for aging skin. The Titan Procedure treats lax and
redundant skin throughout the body including the abdomen, thighs and underarms
and is also used to tone, lift and tighten skin on the face, neck and other
parts of body.
The Titan Procedure is a safe, comfortable, non-surgical
treats lax and redundant skin throughout the body -- can stimulate long-term
collagen rebuilding. Although non-ablative radiofrequency can produce skin
tightening, significant pain from its application limits the patient population
of possible candidates to those with sufficiently high pain tolerance and those
willing to undergo significant pain during the procedure. Topical anesthetics
are only modestly helpful in lessening this pain. Injectable anesthetics are not
recommended due to the possibility of altering the local impedance of tissues,
causing an unwanted burn. Producing painless skin tightening via non-ablative
radiofrequency is not yet possible unless the patient is deeply sedated or
receives systemic anesthesia.
A new non-ablative medical device: Titan
(Cutera, Inc. Brisbane, CA) has been successful in producing skin contraction
leading to lifting of eyebrows and/or improvement of lower face and neck skin
laxity. This device has also been used successfully in other body areas such as
abdomen, arms and thighs. Immediate changes have been noticed in the vast
majority of patients. There is hardly any pain , to the point of needing no
anesthesia. Patient satisfaction has been remarkable. There is no down time and
no incisions or scars either. Additionally, the patient will look much better
and younger after the procedure. The results have a remarkable natural look
which, plastic surgery rarely can match. The patient will look less tired , with
a freshened look. The skin contraction achieved is in the order of 1 to 4
millimeters. It may not sound dramatic, but the changes induced by such
contraction are perceptible and significant when it comes to eyebrow lifting or
fading of the naso-labial fold. Follow-up visits show that the improvement has
been maintained and even increased. In fact, the degree of improvement has not
diminished during follow-up in any of our patients. Post operative patients can
go back to their normal activities right away.
The new Titan system from
Cutera has a similar thermal profile in ex-vivo skin specimens detected by
thermal photography. It also has significant advantages over non-ablative
radiofrequency called Thermage . For one thing it has a multi-second pulse which
provides a gentle and sustained skin heating that clinically is much less
painful and has similar if not better clinical results as compared to Thermage.
The safety profile is very good with adequate physician training and the results
are as satisfactory as can be expected with any modern technology in this
field.
