TITAN for Smile Lines Around Eyes and Mouth?

I Am a 45 Year Old Dark Strawberry Blue Eyed Blonde. I don't have much sagging skin, but have many lines around the eyes and some around the mouth and between the eyes (I am a smiler). I have tried Fraxel with very little improvement. Would Titan be a good option? I'm not really interested in temporary fillers or Botox.

Titan is good for tightening loose skin.

Titan is good for tightening loose skin. But it does not usually help lines around the mouth or eyelids.

More aggressive CO2 laser, using less fractionation usually gives better results, but involves a one week recovery.

Titan is an option for tightening

Titan is really not for lines. Titan, Thermage, Exilis et al appear to be best for tightning the skin. I use it for the jaw line, jowls, brows, and of course, for abdomenal tightening. Those fine etched lines around the mouth are not really eliminated by anything too well. But whatever you do, don't try Botox here or it will drop your smile. Fillers are the best option.
