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.

I did my first session of TITAN yesterday. I'm 36 years old and my skin isn't too bad but it needs to be looked at already. The treatment was not painful, in certain areas a little unconfortable but overall bearable of course. I was told I was not going to see any real results until after my second appointment, but I feel and see an improvement already. The price was ok too for NYC I think(245 USD). I will go to the next session in a month and update.
