Latest Non Invasive, Non Surgical Skin Tightening Using Latest Infrared Light Based Technology - Titan
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, Correct asymetry, eye brow lifting Etc.
(PRWEB) April 14, 2005 -- Dr. Mahaveer Mehta Medical Center, Dubai, United
Arab Emirates is one of the first in this part of world to have 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 and neck.
The
Titan Procedure:
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. The degree
of pain is quite low, 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 like himself 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 3 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. Erythema is sometimes seen in patients with skin
type I, but it usually fades within an hour. Occasionally blisters develop. They
are usually isolated single vesicles, probably the result of incomplete skin
contact with the cooling sapphire crystal during pulses. When they do happen,
the patient should avoid any picking or other manipulation. These vesicles
usually resolve without marks. 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. 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.
