No Difference On Knees and Elbows - Vancouver, BC

Paid 4K for Titan on my upper knees and my elbows...

Paid 4K for Titan on my upper knees and my elbows to combat a bit of saggy skin - I'm in great shape at 5'3 and 110 lbs - I'm an avid weightlifter and a competitive athlete. Ive had 2 Titan treatments (pain scale about a 4 - if that) the first treatment was May 5th the second about 3 weeks ago - there has been absolutely no change whatsoever. I'm a very good judge of the smallest nuances in my body since I used to bodybuild and know even the most subtle changes. There have been None - Zero - Nada. The Titan technician would beg to differ - she got very defensive when I called her out on this so-called laser tightening - "oh if you've tanned in tanning beds or past sun exposure it doesn't always work because u have limited collagen supply" was her response - "oh u need to give it at least 6 months" every excuse you can inagine. Well - don't wast 4K like I did - save it for surgery - I feel Soooo ripped off.

It's now almost 4 months from first Titan...

It's now almost 4 months from first Titan treatment and there has literally been no change whatsoever - elbows and inner arm-elbow area still loose and saggy - I've started heavy workouts again and am really hitting my biceps and triceps hard - this seams to help as the muscle is more defined it takes away from the saggy skin in the inner elbow crook - the knees have improved but this is likely from the 5 mile running - heavy squats - and leg presses and extensions - still not really taut tight skin and certainly not what I was promised. I now wish I had just saved that 4K for surgery.

It has now been a full 5.5 months since my first...

it has now been a full 5.5 months since my first Titan treatment on my knees and elbows and I see absolutely NO improvement whatsoever - the only tightening I've seen is from running 8K every other day - hitting the weights at the gym and following a very strict high-protein low carb diet - the loose skin above the knees and around the lower bicep at the elbow crook fails to "tighten" it behooves me to no end as to how my skin, which is in excellent shape, cannot get a positive result from Titan Laser treatment. Biggest waste of 4K ever!!! I should have just used the money to go on a nice trip somewhere :(

had the Titan in May 2012. it is now Oct 2012 - absolutely No Difference whatsoever - I am not rich by any means, I have to save and scrimp to afford these procedures - I don't mind shelling out the money if I get results - this Titan is by far the biggest RIP OFF ever! I should've used that 4K to buy Lotto Tickets!

It's now Dec 5th - 8 months after Titan - and ZERO...

it's now Dec 5th - 8 months after Titan - and ZERO difference on elbows and knees - I wonder if my thinning hair loss on my head which has been falling out since Titan is the only result I will have show (or lack of show since hair is very thin and brittle) - waste of $$$$ - and I'm still paying the credit card off :(

It's been 1 year since Titan on knees and elbows -...

it's been 1 year since Titan on knees and elbows - my skin is looser and more wrinkled than ever! I have always prided myself on my extraordinary firm body and years of lifting weights as a competitive weightlifter has helped maintain my skeletal and muscular structure - I eat a good diet and stay fairly close to my regular weight. I am now wondering if Titan has dried out all the collagen producing cells from my arms and legs! They are far far worse than ever! I have very loose and wrinkled skin from elbow to forearms with zero elasticity and the same for mid thigh to knees! I'm freaking out about it and now wished to hell I had not done the Titan! Did I just spend 4K to age my skin up to age 60? the rest of my body is firm and fine. The difference in one whole year is frightening!

Great review?

At your weight it doesn't sound like you had thick enough skin to help. My girlfriends doctor told her she was to skinny and she was your height and size.

I used to sell a very similar device and unfortunately this type of technology works well for some and not at all for others. I would caution people to manage their expectations from any non invasive/laser technology for skin tightening.

Thank you for sharing your review.  I am sorry that you did not achieve the results your were expecting.  That is very disappointing.
