Laser Skin Tightening — Spa Greystone in Birmingham, Alabama

Signs of aging can appear as sagging skin around the face and neck. Patients who desire firmer skin and fewer wrinkles in these areas can benefit from laser skin tightening at Hedden Plastic Surgery using the Titan® laser. Results are immediate, though two or three treatments spaced about a month apart are usually necessary for best results. Laser skin tightening can give you a smoother skin and a younger-looking complexion with long-lasting results and without the downtime associated with surgical procedures.

How does the Cutera Titan work?

Titan utilizes a safe infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin's surface. During the procedure, the skin's top surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan handpiece.

The Titan difference

Titan's light-based platform provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, such as RF (radio-frequency).

Who can be treated?

How many treatments will I need?

Although a single treatment has produced very good results for many patients, it is quite common for patients to have two or three treatments over a few months. Your physician can advise you as to the number and frequency of treatments recommended for optimal results.

What happens after the treatment?

Immediately following the treatment, you may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. Both should dissipate within a few hours. Consult with your physician for complete information on the the benefits and risks of treatment.

What do treatments feel like?

With each Titan pulse you will feel a brief heating sensation. Some patients are more comfortable taking a mild pain reliever beforehand, though many patients are comfortable without any medication.
