Thermage or Titan for Skin Laxity Under the Chin?

Hello, I've received a series of Accent XL treatments for tightening and firming. I've been happy with the results on my face, but still have laxity under my chin. Is Thermage or Titan a good option?

A physician, who does a lot of Thermage, stated that the new 16.0 tip in this area would work, and that it is soon to be FDA approved for this area.

Will this go too deep in this area? Would it be safer to have facial Thermage, and would I see results? Is a full-face Thermage treatment truly unlikely to cause facial fat loss -- some postings have indicated that it may do that. Thank you.
