To better understand what is the Titan ™ and its benefits to ask Dr. Claudia Doria, responsible for treatments in Aesthetic Medicine of La Clinique - Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine, some important questions and clarifications on the treatment. 

Dr. Claudia, what is the Titan ™?
It is a device that emits beams of infrared light (Infrared Deep) and acts in the deep layers of the skin. It is important to know that the Titan ™ has been carefully studied in clinics around the world. Was adopted for the treatment of laxity in Europe and for general use in dermatology in Canada. In the United States was voted as the best equipment to treat sagging skin. That is why it is not a more aesthetic equipment, it really makes a difference and come to stay as an excellent aid in the improvement of sagging. 

How it works?
The skin aging is losing and changing their supporting fibers called collagen fibers.Collagen is essential for skin structure and over the years there is a shortage, the Titan ™ stimulates collagen formation and regeneration. By means of infrared light, heat emitted by Titan ™ stimulates the formation of new collagen. It also promotes an immediate retraction of the fibers, improving the sagging of the face and some body parts such as abdomen, back and arms. The energy released by the heat intensifies the production of collagen in the period up to one year. 

It is true that much of its popularity due to its effect Vapt Vupt-ie, some patients see results immediately. The important thing is that in most cases the results will appear gradually from three to six months, during which new collagen is being formed and the skin becoming firmer. 

Technically, the Titan ™ works as follows: 

First: Through a sapphire crystal, beams of infrared light from 50 degrees to reach the dermis to 2 mm deep, without burning it. 

Second: The infrared light heats the water where they are layered collagen fibers and cells responsible for production, fibroblasts. 

Third: The heat and water evaporation, and promote the reorganization and regeneration of collagen, stimulate fibroblasts to produce more fiber, essential for skin firmness. The first year of treatment requires three to four sessions, according to the manufacturer. After a semester or annual maintenance. The improvement is gradual. It is important that frizer during the procedure, the skin surface (epidermis) is protected by a continuous cooling, so without pain.
