We were the first clinic with the Titan device. Titan delivers infra-red light to the support tissues under the skin, heating them up and making them shrink. Collagen fibres are like a coiled up spiral. Slowly they uncoil, aided by gravity, weight changes, the sun and smoking. Just as your favourite woollen jumper will shrink in the washing machine (remember that wool fibres have been teased out and stretched so return to their normal shortness on heating), your collagen fibres can also be encouraged to return to their normal shortness and elasticity.

Titan delivers a controlled heating light that is not designed to hurt. It warms the tissues. First of all the areas that have stretched the most and therefore will achieve the best results when treated are marked. These are the so-called vectors. Then the treatment begins. The eyes are protected from the light and the Titan head is then placed on the skin. The heat builds up over a matter of seconds until it is really warm. Just as you feel that it is about to become too hot, the cooling current comes in. The Titan head is slowly moved over the skin of the face, the neck and the chest in order to shrink the required area. Once treated, the face appears a little red, but this quickly subsides within half an hour. Make-up can be applied immediately.

Two treatments are required four weeks apart. Some improvement is seen after the first treatment but it is only after the second that the results really become apparent. A maintenance treatment is recommended after one year, but many clients enjoy the collagen-stimulating effect so ask for the treatment every three months.
