A member asked:

I've just had a 'titan' (facelift) a few days ago. is it okay to get a second treatment?

You need to heal: I assume you're talking about the titan laser "facelift." this is a device that is reported to tighten facial tissues. If this is the case, the reported tightening can take months to appear. If you've had a treatment several days ago i would not recommend seeking another so soon. I hope this information is helpful.

Not typically advise: Repeat treatments this close together are not typically advised.

Wait a bit: There are different laser, rf and ultrasound treatments available for some degree of lifting and tightening. In all cases, results take more than a few days to work. I would make sure you discuss with your md. They should be able to tell you when you can expect your treatment to reach full effect and if/when further treatments might be indicated.

Face Skin Tightening: First of all titan is a skin tightening treatment and not a facelift. Yes it is possible to have a second treatment but check with your doctor re: safe timing.

Titan: Titan is an infra-red skin tightening treatment using the cutera laser platform - it's not really a facelift. Repeat treatments can be done - but wait 1-2 weeks in between.

Wait: There are specific protocols and there needs to be time between treatments.

'titan' (facelift): Good questions - you should ask your treating doctor. If you still have questions, you should find a Board certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation. Make sure he/she understands this technology.

Yes! Titan Laser txt: The second Titan treatment is usually done three months after the first one to get see the maximum results, and the final Titan is done three months after that. So the total amount of time between the first treatment and three months after the last is probably nine months total time. You are safe! It comes in a series of doing 3 txts spaced 3 months apart. Can do touch ups next year.
