Have Had 2 Titans in the Last 3 Years - Houston, TX

20k pulses seems like a lot. I have never used that much on just a face. Are you getting results? Are you getting any PIH with patients?
Parameters differ patient to patient. Typically 13-20j depending on issue, area, and skin type.
Usually I do 10-12k pulses for entire face. What is your reasoning in using 20k pulses?
I typically do not use LG for acne. For acne scarring, yes.

Wow I have never seen any thing like this with Titan and I have done this procedure on people and had it done to myself over the last 6 years.

I know pictures can be a bit deceiving at times - in the first picture you seem to be looking forward just smiling. The second picture looks as if you are raising your eyebrows, which most people will get those furrows with expression, unless of course they have botox.

Titan is a great procedure when done correctly. It takes about 1 1/2 hour for full face because you have to do about 300-350 pulses (for a full size Titan head - there are different sizes)at least to get a great treatment, but it totally depends on the person...how big their face is, where the concerns mainly lie, because you can do more pulses in this area. Also it depends on if they overlap the pulses as well. This gives better results.

The company should be give you information. When you have an issue they should report the issue to the laser company (in this Cutera) who has a adverse reaction department that can help them when they have problems. If they are not willing to do this then I suggest you speak directly to the doctor to see what can be done further.

I hope you get this resolved quickly.

how long was it? are you wearing spf 25+ daily that has titanium dioxide & zinc oxide in it? the marks are they red or brown? what other products are you using?

kjm I would have to see a pic. usually the burn will happen immediately.it will be red, possibly raised (rectangular bar marks) and then depending on the burn, they may scab over.
if you are just now having a "reaction" you might have some post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. again, without seeing the area, i don't know.
what area was treated with limelight? where are the marks? when exactly did they start? was this your first treatment? what ethnicity are you? what color is your skin?
did you have the fraxel and limelight done at same time? did the provider pre & post treat your skin? if so, with what?
sorry for the questions, but this may help me to hep you~

PS I use Obagi, Societe & RX systems in my practice -
