Perlane®

Perlane® restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). After your treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, brusing, and tenderness. This will normally last less than seven days. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. If you have had facial cold sores before, an injection can cause another outbreak. In rare circumstances, the doctor may inject into a blood vessel, which can damage the skin. To avoid brusing and bleeding, you should not use Perlane® if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you should not use Perlane®

Titan™ Tissue Tightening by Cutera
Description The Titan™ is a safe, non-surgical procedure that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The Titan™ device uniformly distributes heat below the skin, causing collagen contraction, while preserving the outer layer of skin through continuous cooling. This process stimulates long-term collagen rebuilding, leaving patients with younger-looking skin.

The procedure tones, lifts and tightens skin on the face and neck and can be used to treat lax, loose or wrinkled skin throughout the body—including the abdomen, thighs and arms. The chin, neck and jowl areas are ideal treatment sites, while loose skin on the stomach, arms, knees, buttocks, and thighs can also be improved.

Titan Tissue Tightening performed by New Jersey (NJ) plastic surgeon (cosmetic surgeon) Dr. C. Duncan Burnett, M.D., F.A.C.S.
     
  Though results may vary, it is recommended that patients have four treatments spaced four weeks apart. Depending on personal goals, additional treatments may be desired.  
  The Titan™ procedure utilizes a blend of invisible wavelengths of light that are designed to heat the inner layers of the skin while protecting the outer layer. It takes minutes to perform, involves absolutely no cutting or recovery time, and is virtually risk-free. After treatment, it is common to see either no reaction or some mild skin irritation or redness that resolves very quickly. However, Titan™ treatments are not completely without risk; though rare, adverse effects to the skin do occur.  
     
 

Some people will see some results immediately. Most people will begin to see tightening in the treated area about three weeks following treatment, and improvement can continue, even up to six months after a treatment, as new collagen forms and the skin tightens. The result is long-lasting, tighter skin.
