Question

Is there a reason I had better results with Thermage than with TITAN?

I had one Thermage procedure about two years ago and based on comments from people who only saw me occasionally, I looked happier..like a burden had been lifted ("I can see it in your face."). Since my 'lift' left, I had the Titan procedure yesterday and perceive the immediate results as less apparent.

I know Titan evolved from the maker of Thermacool and is pain free, but is there any data suggesting a reason why Titan might be less effective?  Could it just be my aging skin isn't responding and I have less collagen?
