If you want to achieve a smoother, more radiant, younger look to your face but don’t want to go through the complications of facial surgery, we have the perfect treatment for you! Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics offers the Cutera Titan® skin tightening system to remove wrinkles caused by aging and sun damage.
What Is the Cutera Titan® Skin Tightening System?
The Cutera Titan gives you an all-natural option to enhance skin tone. Titan uses light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skin’s surface. During the procedure, the skin’s surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan handpiece. Without surgery, recovery time, or injections, Titan is an ideal solution for your face, abdomen, arms, and more.
Titan’s light-based platform provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, such as radio-frequency, also known as “RF.”
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for This Treatment?
Ideal candidates for the Cutera Titan treatment are patients who are in good overall health, non-smokers, and don’t have underlying health conditions that can make it difficult to heal from light-based or laser treatments. Since the Titan procedure heats tissue under the skin’s surface, patients of any skin type or age can be treated. During your first consultation, Dr. Bertolino can advise you if Titan is right for you.
If you are pregnant or taking Accutane, this procedure may not be right for you.
Does the Cutera Titan® Skin Tightening Treatment Hurt?
Because the Cutera Titan treatment operates off of light-based therapy, patients may feel a brief heating sensation during their procedure. Rarely, but sometimes, patients may also experience slight stinging or burning, similar to that of a laser treatment, during treatment. However, Cutera lasers are designed with precision and are often pain-free. If you are sensitive to surface-level sensations, consider taking a mild pain reliever before your treatment.
Are There Any Side Effects from the Cutera Titan® Skin Tightening Treatment?
Common side effects from this procedure include redness of the face immediately following your treatment. In the time shortly after, some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising on the face, but these side effects normally disappear within a couple of days. Most patients are able to return to work and their normal routines the day after their procedure. With care and gentleness, patients may apply sunscreen and makeup following your treatment.
How Often Will I Need Treatment?
The number of Cutera Titan treatments you will need depends on your skin's aesthetic goals. Some patients can achieve their desired look after one treatment, but for most patients, it is common to undergo at least two to three treatments to achieve a more youthful, radiant, firm look to the skin. Because this treatment works by prompting the body to “heal” itself from the wounds created by the light-based laser, your skin may change and continue to improve for the next six months, with results lasting for up to two years.
