What is the difference between Thermage, Titan, and Deep IR?
The LuxDeepIR Fractional Infrared Handpiece uses infrared light to penetrate deep into the skin. Its fractional technology is unique in the skin tightening world resulting in more rapid healing and collagen formation. There is no wounding of the skin. There are no incisions and no marks left on the skin. Aside from feeling some heat the treatment is essentially painless due to the superb cooling unit of the Palomar StarLux 500. This system is the most powerful unit of its kind made able to penetrate deeper than its competitors. The Cutera Titan unit works by using infrared light like the Palomar Deep IR unit but it does not have the fractional technology. It does claim to have a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than radio-frequencty units such as the Thermage. The Thermage unit is a computer controlled radio-frequency device that can tighten the skin without injuring the epidermis, or outer layer of the skin; therefore, no visible wound is created. The Th
