Laser Skin Tightening Equipment Review

Laser skin treatment technology was first introduced to the masses back in 1995 when it was approved by the FDA and is reaching huge developments since it became hugely popular in 1998 (when there were over 100k procedures performed in the US). The numbers differ by several thousand, but it's been reported that almost 1.4 million laser skin treatments were performed last year in the world wide.

It's a booming industry, projected to top $9 Billion USD by 2010, largely due to the large progress in technology in the actual laser that is used to treat unwanted hair, skin tightening, and  other laser skin treatments.

There are many laser skin tightening devices out there but the top devices on the market the two top two lasers on the market are the Titan and the Polaris skin tightening systems. They both use highly advanced laser technology but the latter, Polaris skin device, uses a blend of laser energy and radio frequency (RF) to remove wrinkles, crows feet, and overall improvement of the skin's tone.

The Titan Skin Tightening system is the most popular device on the market to day, using high energy laser to stimulate collagen under the skin's surface, toning, tightening and lifting the skin. The Titan is known to work best for the treatment of loose and wrinkled skin underneath the face and neck.

The Titan uses an infrared ray of light (laser) delivered by a sapphire tip at the end of the gun to tighten the skin, with little or no downtime or anesthesia for the patient. The procedure is very simple, the device is applied to the skin, and a 6-8 second cooling and heating cycle is used to treat small areas unto the treatment area. The actual procedure takes little less than an hour, noticeable results are usually reported within the next several months as collagen is stimulated. It is also suggested, when using the Titan skin tightening system, to get two treatments a month apart for the best results. Most patients who use the Titan report that tightening remains an average of two years after treatment, but long-term results can be expected if scheduled maintenance is conducted.

The Polaris skin tightening system's claim to fame is that it's less painful than Titan, or Thermage, though pain varies from patient to patient depending on their pain threshold, it could have something to do with the fact that it uses elos (electro-optical synergy) and combines it with radio-frequency (RF) to achieve optimal results.

The Polaris system is very similar to the Titan and operates at different levels of strength depending on the desired result. Polaris is more popular to effectively tighten area on the body such as the arms, thighs, and buttocks. To achieve optimal results, an average patient receives five treatments, two-to-three weeks apart. The Polaris system is also a popular combination with liposuction or mesotherapy.
