Remarkable Care, Exceptional Results

“Heather is amazing. Coming to places like this I’m like a kid in a candy shop. I want everything done just to get it done. Heather is the first and only medical professional that has actually told me no at times and gives me honest feedback when I’m wanting excess things done. She’s always so sweet and knowledgeable and makes me feel right at home. Carolina Plastics is worth every penny. I’m forever loyal to them!”

As we get older, collagen and elastin levels in the dermal structure decrease. As these vital proteins diminish, skin laxity begins to develop, leading to facial creases, jowl formation, and hollowing in the midface. Carolina Facial Plastics offers the Cutera Titan™ to tighten loose skin and reverse these signs of aging. The Cutera Titan is an FDA-approved, non-invasive skin tightening and lifting device that uses light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skin’s surface.

The top aesthetic destination of the south, Carolina Facial Plastics, is led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Kulbersh. With his team of cosmetic experts, a fully accredited surgery center, and a private recovery retreat all located in the heart of SouthPark, Carolina Facial Plastics is known for
unparalleled and natural-looking results exclusively for the face.

The Cutera Titan laser offers the following benefits to our patients:

  • Tightens and lifts the skin by stimulating collagen production
  • Does not require sedation or topical anesthetic
  • Features minimal discomfort during treatment
  • Takes one hour or less to complete a treatment
  • Effectively treats all skin types
  • Requires little to no downtime
  • Involves no anesthesia, incisions, injections, or recovery time

The Titan device utilizes safe, infrared light energy to produce the desired effect. During the procedure, the skin’s top surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan handpiece, while the heat travels to the dermal layers below. The heat stimulates tissue contraction and new collagen production. The increase in collagen helps to tighten and lift the skin in the treated areas. Titan’s light-based platform provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, producing a superior result.

Unlike other skin tightening devices, such as radiofrequency or ultrasound devices that can be painful enough to require sedation and anesthetic, the Titan procedure is comfortable enough to be performed without anesthesia. During the treatment, the client will feel cooling, followed by a short heating cycle (approximately 6 seconds), and then a second cooling phase. During the heating and cooling cycles, the skin’s surface is protected through continuous cooling from the Titan handpiece to eliminate downtime. Some patients are more comfortable taking a mild pain reliever beforehand, but many patients are comfortable without any medication.

 

 

Due to the device’s gentle nature, patients do not experience peeling or excessive downtime after treatment. Immediately following your session, you may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. These side effects should dissipate within a few hours. Patients can go back to work the next day if they choose.

In our clinic, we provide exosome therapy as an option to expedite the healing process following treatment. The application of exosomes directly onto the skin post-treatment has demonstrated a notable decrease in redness and an acceleration in recovery periods. A substantial number of patients have reported a visible decrease in redness within 24 hours of undergoing exosome therapy following laser treatment, as opposed to the longer recovery times of 48-72 hours. Additionally, exosomes contain growth factors that assist in promoting collagen production and diminishing the visibility of sun damage-induced pigmentation.

Frequently asked questions

Most areas of the body with loose skin can be treated with Cutera Titan. Patients have been successfully treated in many areas of the body; however, the most common areas treated are the lower face, jawline, under the chin, and the abdomen.

 

Virtually everyone can use the Titan for skin-tightening. Since the Titan procedure heats tissue under the skin’s surface, patients of any age can be treated. The Titan can also be used on all skin types, including skin that has recently been exposed to the sun.

 

Carolina Facial Plastics has many patients that are not necessarily ready for surgery or don’t want to have the aftercare and downtime associated with surgery. Some people want to delay any surgical intervention for as long as possible. The Titan offers an excellent option for anyone who wants to address skin laxity without surgical intervention.

 

Although a single treatment is an option for some patients with minimal laxity, it is quite common for patients to have two or three treatments over a few months. Your laser provider at Carolina Facial Plastics will examine your skin and advise you on the number and frequency of treatments recommended for optimal results for your skin. Typically a package of treatments is recommended for optimal results.

 

This heating process can cause immediate tissue contraction, resulting in fewer facial lines, folds, and looseness of the skin and tightening. However, full results are gradual over a three to six-month period as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens.

 

Titan skin tightening results last about a year. You may extend your results by using daily sun protection and medical-grade skincare products at home to support skin health.

There are many other options for non-surgical skin tightening at your Charlotte, NC medical spa, including Profound RF and Ultimate Duo.

Cool Peel

The Cool Peel is a state-of-the-art CO2 laser procedure that offers the same results as a traditional CO2 laser resurfacing procedure with minimal downtime and less risk.

The Cool Peel may help improve:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Brown spots and pigmentation
  • Enlarged pores

The Cool Peel provides a quicker alternative to the traditional CO2 laser with significantly less downtime.

Profound RF

Profound RF is a non-surgical facelift that may help you turn back the clock on aging.

Profound RF uses the healing powers of microneedling with the stimulation of radiofrequency (RF) energy to give you a clear, firm appearance with only one week of recovery.

Used to treat wrinkles, skin laxity, and cellulite, Profound RF offers a natural appearance to your skin. After a single treatment, your skin will be refreshed, glowing, and younger looking.

The Ultimate Duo is one such combination that utilizes both the CoolPeel laser and Virtue RF microneedling.

By combining the two procedures, you can achieve superior results. The Ultimate Duo can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
