All the skin tightening lasers promise miracles. I have a skin tightening laser, but I tell patients that if they get a 20% improvement they got a good result. It is not an answer for very loose skin that surgical procedures can improve.

Titan does tighten the skin of the face and neck. When used in very select patients it helps in body skin tightening. It could help the upper arms if a minor deformity is present.

I like TITAN for skin tightening on the body very much. I also feel that it does as good a job on the face in "lifting" as well as any external device, ie. Infrared or Radiofrequency. However, it is not a miracle treatment and one needs to have realistic expectations. If it is just loose skin that you hope to tighten, then TITAN may indeed help. If there is loose tissue as well, it is likely fat, and the MPX Smart Lipo would be you best choice by far. It melts and removes fat, and the internal skin tightening is superior to other methods Talk to you physican directly and discuss these issues. Also be aware that the tightening is due to collagen stimulation with TITAN and the final results are best appreciated 3-4 weeks after the last (generally 3rd) treatment.
