titan pre / post treatment
Before Treatment
• No Accutane use for 6 months prior to treatment.
• Clean the skin, including removal of all make-up and other skin
care products. Any creams or products left on the skin can interact
with the light and increase the risk of unwanted side effects.
• These treatments can be tolerated without anesthesia. The use
of sedation, nerve blocks, or local injectable anesthetics is not
recommended for these treatments as patient feedback is very
important, and with proper technique, is not required. Topical
anesthesia can be used if desired. It must be completely removed
prior to treatment. CAUTION: Toxicity may result with overuse
of topical anesthesia. Consult the manufacturer’s labeling.
• Some physicians make this treatment part of an overall skin
care regimen along with topical retinoids, topical vitamin-C,
sun protection, and/or microdermabrasion.
• Do not treat over areas with tattoos.

After Treatment
• The goal of Titan treatments is to sustain deep dermal heating.
General post-cooling is not necessary after Titan treatments
unless an area is overly erythematous or feels hot to the patient.
In this case, ice, chilled gel, or hydro-gel pads may be applied
post-treatment as needed for patient comfort. The treatment
window can also be used as an effective post-cooling device.
• Localized erythema may also be present and typically resolves
within 24 to 48 hours. If prolonged erythema occurs, future
treatments should be performed at a lower fluence.
• If a wound develops an antibiotic ointment may be recommended.
............................................................................................................
Follow Up
• Treatment intervals of 4 weeks are commonly used with an
average of 2 to 4 treatments.
