Everyone faces different challenges as they age.

For patients facing sagging skin on the face and body, laser skin therapy provides exemplary results.

What is Laser Skin Tightening?
Most rejuvenation treatments address the signs of age by resurfacing skin marred by wrinkles, fine lines, and scarring. Depending on the type of rejuvenation treatment recommended, patients may have dermal fillers, Botox® or even a surgical face lift. In recent years, laser skin therapies have become a more popular option for patients who want to restore their formerly smooth skin without the lengthy downtime of invasive procedures.
Laser skin tightening is one such treatment that has been shown to successfully reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin for many of our patients. To address skin laxity, this treatment uses an infrared laser to heat the collagen at the dermis level. This controlled application stimulates collagen production and causes the dermis to contract and tighten. When applied to small areas such as the face, neck and jawline, patients notice a change in their appearance immediately after treatment.
As laser skin tightening is non-invasive, there is no recovery time associated with the procedure. Many of our patients return to their daily routines right after their appointment. For the best results, patients usually opt for two or three sessions spaced about a month apart. As the procedure stimulates collagen growth, many individuals will notice their skin become smoother over the months following treatment, thanks to the increased production of natural collagen.
Titan Skin Tightening: An Innovation in Anti-Aging
Desert Med Aesthetics is proud to have one of the latest innovations in anti-aging – the TITAN™ treatment. An effective alternative to surgery, Titan laser skin tightening uses an infrared laser to target deep-set skin laxity and kickstart natural collagen production. It tightens existing collagen and stimulates new collagen over a period of 3 months so you will see immediate results plus continued enhancements following your visit. The newly formed cells begin to fill out sagging or creased skin, gradually smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the surface – even after your visit.
While most laser skin tightening treatments are fairly standard, Titan laser therapy takes a unique approach to skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional procedures that operate on a near infrared frequency, the Titan laser solution is 100% light-based. This allows the device to distribute heat energy consistently across the treatment zone, resulting in a more even tone and texture. In addition to improved aesthetics post-treatment, this approach also provides patients with a safer and more predictable experience that is replicable for every subsequent visit. Titan laser therapy can be used safely all over the body, and you can trust you’ll receive a high standard of care and beautiful results.
Our Titan laser treatments are administered by our expert laser nurse, who has been with our practice for over 15 years.

How Does Titan Work?
As the first non-invasive dermal heating treatment approved by the FDA, Titan skin tightening can be used to address skin laxity or sagging almost anywhere on the body. Recent studies have also led to its FDA indication for use in providing muscle relaxation and joint pain relief for individuals with arthritis. At Desert Med Aesthetics, we’ve found patients enjoy the best results when using this laser skin therapy to improve skin on the stomach, neck, chin or jowl area.
Treatment with Titan laser can usually be completed in under an hour. During the procedure, our highly experienced laser nurse will gently apply the laser to the treatment area. As the treatment is non-invasive, most patients find that the laser only creates the sensation of a small, hot pinch when applied and is more uncomfortable rather than truly painful. As the laser is applied, the infrared light travels through to the deeper layers of the skin causing tightening of the collagen architecture. Because the heat is applied deep within the skin, some swelling and redness may be seen in the hours following

Laser Skin Tightening FAQs
When will I see the results of laser skin tightening?
For some patients, results are immediately noticeable. In most cases, your appearance will gradually improve over three to six months as new collagen forms and the skin reforms and tightens.
Where can I get laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin tightening helps reduce the appearance of loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. It has successfully rejuvenated areas like the face, neck, jowls, abdomen, knees, chest, and upper arms. To determine if laser skin resurfacing is an ideal solution for your specific area of concern, feel free to ask one of our doctors during your consultation.
Are there any side effects from laser skin tightening?
A laser skin tightening treatment takes about an hour to complete, depending on the size of the targeted area. We will apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to ensure the procedure is comfortable and relaxing. You may notice some redness and mild swelling immediately following the treatment. Both should resolve within a few hours.
What makes Titan™ different from other forms of laser skin tightening treatments?
Titan™ employs light energy because it provides a more uniform distribution of energy into the dermis. Other laser skin tightening treatments use radiofrequency energy sources, which can be uneven and lead to inconsistent results and possible damage if not handled correctly. The most significant difference between Titan™ and its RF predecessor is that Titan™ is a much more comfortable procedure.
Is laser skin tightening with Titan™ painful?
We will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic beforehand, so laser skin tightening with Titan™ should not be painful at all. You may feel a brief heating sensation with each Titan™ pulse, but it shouldn’t be unpleasant for you. Some patients choose to take a mild pain medication to help make treatment more tolerable, but most patients are comfortable without anything.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients receive the results they’re looking for with a single treatment. The average recommended treatments are one to three, performed three to four weeks apart. During your consultation, we will advise you on the number and frequency of treatments recommended to help you reach your optimal skin goals.
