Does Titan work or is it all hype?

last week I went for a consultation at a medical spa for Titan laser treatment in Houston. Was told i should get these treatments as a way to avoid surgery.

they said i'd need 2 or 3 treatments at $1200 each (!) I was stunned at that price but later thought titan was worth it if it really made a difference. 

so does titan really work?  will i see results right away?  thank you so very much

Titan works by heating the dermal layer of the skin below the epidermis. It contracts existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Contraction can be seen right away for SOME patients, but the collagen stimulation is really best seen six months after your last treatment. Those prices seem very high for titan (my facility charges $1,250 for two), but there are local market variations. A reasonable expectation is that 80% of patients that get Titan should see 30 to 40% improvement in laxity.
