What is Titan Laser

Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive procedure that tightens your skin by heating the collagen under its surface. Titan laser treatment heats up the natural water in your dermis, the deepest layer of skin, until it reaches a specific temperature that causes natural collagen production.

Titan laser is an FDA approved method for the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It encourages the growth of new collagen in the treated areas. That regeneration of natural collagen leads to smoother and softer skin. The procedure can correct loose skin over your body, including your abdomen, thighs and upper arms. However, the face is the most common area for Titan facelifts because it can tone and tighten facial skin and help with lax skin by the jaw and neck.

Discover how long your recovery time will take and what your realistic expectation should be for improvement following the surgery.

Our plastic surgeon will discuss your health history and make a suggestion for a procedure based on your needs. Ask all of your questions before your procedure. It is crucial to feel comfortable on what to expect and about making the right decision before your procedure and having the best results possible.

Your Procedure

Prior to your Titan laser procedure, Los Angeles, make sure you do not wear any makeup, oils or sunscreens. A topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the area and the patient will be supplied with protective eyewear. If you have a low tolerance for discomfort, you may take an over-the-counter pain medication prior to your treatment.

Your surgeon will apply brief pulses of laser energy to your skin, up to three times for optimal results. The procedure can last up to an hour depending on the size and location of the treated area.

During the surgery, you may experience minor heating discomfort that is eased by the cooling blasts of air produced by a laser instrument. It prevents the epidermis, the outer layer of skin, from burning. You may also experience a mild stinging sensation from the laser. Any discomfort goes away within a few minutes after the end of the procedure.

Your Recovery

You may feel a warm sensation in the treated skin for up to 48 hours following your surgery. Side effects could include swelling or redness but only temporary. Titan laser has minimal recovery and most patients resume their normal activities immediately.
