Main Information
<p>Careful discussions regarding your reasons for wanting treatment are very important before you begin the treatment. You must also make sure that this treatment can deliver what you want and how you would like to look afterwards. Your practitioner should be able to answer all these questions. </p> <p>A medical history should also be taken to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t undertake treatment. You may be asked to read detailed information and sign a consent form which means that you have understood the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure.<br /> <br />Your doctor will give you specific instructions before coming in for the procedure. This may include avoiding the use of aspirin or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) drugs for a couple of weeks before treatment. They may advise you to stop smoking as this can delay wound healing, and avoid alcohol for a few days before the procedure.<br /> <br />Photographs may also be taken by the practitioner for a "before and after" comparison at a later date.<br /> <br /><strong>Anaesthesia<br /></strong> <br />No anaesthesia is required. <br /> <br /><strong>The procedure<br /></strong> <br />Infra red light is delivered in pulses from a bespoke hand piece placed on the skin to the targeted area. This energy is preferentially absorbed by the water content of the skin; heating up the water and causing uniform heating of the treated area. This heat acts on the existing collagen, causing it to immediately contract and tighten. It also stimulates the fibroblasts in the skin to produce new collagen, thus creating further tightening over time<br /> <br />The length of the treatment session depends on the size of the area(s) being treated, but can take between ½ and 1 hour. Expect 1 hour or longer for treating an area such as the tummy or full face and neck.<br /> <br /><strong>Results<br /></strong> <br />Although some people notice an immediate change following treatments, the results are seen gradually over a period of 1 – 3 months as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens further.<br /> <br />The manufacturers of the Titan™ device claim that clinical studies have shown the improvements last 1 – 2 years.<br /> <br /><strong>Repeat Treatments<br /></strong> <br />A single treatment session has produced very good results for some people. However, most people need two treatments, spaced 1 month apart. Severe skin laxity may require 3 treatments. Your practitioner will advise you as to the number and frequency of treatments recommended for optimal results.<br /> <br />Further maintenance treatments over the years (every 1½ - 2 years) can be given when needed.</p>
