Infared heat revs up collagen production

Eric Berger, MD

Titan heats the skin to just BELOW the burn level. Within the Dermis are cells called Fibroblasts, which produce collagen. The intense heat actually fools the fibroblasts into believing they have been damaged and, in response, they reve-up collagen production for 4-6 weeks afterwards.

This increased collagen production strengthens the dermal layer and tightens (cute, huh? “Titans”) the skin.

In my opinion, Titan is the ONLY laser that works effectively with minimal discomfort and very low risk.
