Reverse the signs of ageing with Soprano Titanium Lifting

Soprano Titanium Lifting has taken the aesthetic industry by storm and is gaining immense popularity in South Korea and we predict soon, Singapore. This non-invasive face-lifting solution is becoming a hot favourite for being a quick and painless procedure all whilst producing natural-looking results! In this article, I will take you on a deep dive into Soprano Titanium Lifting so you can decide if it's the right fit for you.

What is Soprano Titanium Lifting and what are its benefits?

Soprano Titanium Lifting is a novel skin tightening and lifting procedure developed by ALMA lasers. It is the sister treatment of Soprano Laser Hair Removal in the Soprano series. The rave surrounding Titanium is not unwarranted– this treatment has been favoured for its benefits such as; 

  • Immediate results: many individuals notice improvements after one treatment session which only lasts 10 minutes per session.
  • Non-invasive procedure: the treatment has no incisions and does not emit any form of heat–  making it the ideal choice for those concerned about pain, scabs or swellings. 
  • No downtime: Soprano Titanium Lifting requires no downtime. Many individuals opt for this quick lunchtime procedure and return to their activities immediately after treatment. 
  • Painless experience: Soprano titanium lifting uses an ‘in motion’ technology that offers a pain-free treatment experience without compromising results
  • Brightening the skin: Soprano Titanium Lifting improves skin tone and texture, producing a more radiant, glowing and revitalised appearance.
  • Contouring the face: Soprano Titanium Lifting effectively achieves sculpted facial features, resulting in a more refined appearance and enhancing your natural beauty.
  • Minimise fine lines and wrinkles: Soprano Titanium Lifting stimulates new collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promoting a smoother and more youthful appearance.
  • Reducing the appearance of enlarged pores: skin appears smoother with an even texture skin to glass skin.
  • Tightens and lifts the skin: Soprano Titanium Lifting stimulates new collagen production, restoring firmness to sagging skin, leading to a more youthful appearance.

How does Soprano Titanium Lifting work? 

The procedure combines two treatment modes [1], allowing doctors to offer a unique procedure tailored to your needs and skin conditions;

Stack ModeSHR Mode
Laser energy is delivered using static stamping techniques. It deploys uneven yet focused beams that penetrate areas such as ligamental structures, like the zygoma (cheekbones), or fatty areas, like the jowls.Laser energy delivered with a dynamic “in-motion” technique which deploys an even, uniform penetration of all the tissues throughout the face

Soprano Titanium Lifting also combines three different wavelengths into a single applicator to achieve maximum results. These wavelengths are delivered simultaneously into the skin, with each wavelength targeting different layers of the skin. The three different wavelengths are delivered to target the following layers:

  • 755nm [2] to target the upper layer of the skin.
  • 810nm to target the middle layer of the skin.
  • 1,064nm [3] to target the deepest layer of the skin.
The three varying pulses target the multiple skin layers for maximum results.

Is Soprano Titanium Lifting exclusive for those with sagging skin?

Soprano Titanium Lifting offers a versatile solution for individuals seeking a youthful appearance. While it excels at tightening and lifting mild to moderate sagging skin by stimulating collagen production, its benefits extend further:

  • Benefits previous Ultherapy patients: individuals who have previously undergone Ultherapy are ideal candidates for the Soprano Titanium Lifting, as it is an additional booster that helps maintain skin’s youthfulness.
  • Suitable as a quick pick-me-up: the Soprano titanium lifting is the perfect solution for those who are looking for a quick pick-me-up before major events or would just like to boost their confidence by lifting their skin.
  • Applicable for various ages and skin types: due to the procedure's treatment versatility, the Soprano titanium lifting is suitable for adults of any age with any skin type.

How does Soprano Titanium Lifting defer from HIFU vs. Thread Lift vs. Surgical Face lift?

While there are several facial rejuvenation options available, it is important to understand that each treatment method offers different benefits, results, suitability, and primary purposes. To help patient have a clearer idea of how Soprano titanium lifting differs from other facial rejuvenation treatment, I have prepared the following table, which provides a side-by-side comparison:

Are the results from Soprano Titanium Lifting permanent?

It is important to understand that Soprano titanium lifting is not a permanent solution to sagging skin. It merely improves sagging skin by stimulating new collagen production to help the skin restore its plump, youthful, and radiant visage. The results of Soprano titanium lifting are immediate. However, I would recommend undergoing a series of treatments, depending on the severity of the skin’s condition, spaced out between two weeks each for 1–3 months to achieve longer-lasting results.

Several factors may impact results, including:

  • Lifestyle factors: lifestyle choices such as excessive sun exposure [4], poor diet [5], and rapid weight loss [6] can impact the outcome of the treatment and shorten the longevity of the results.
  • Skincare regime: an effective skincare regime and Soprano Titanium Lifting go hand in hand. Incorporating a skincare regime tailored specifically to your skin condition and type will help extend the longevity of results. This includes applying broad-spectrum sunscreen [7].
  • Maintenance treatments: maintenance treatments help prolong results and enhance the overall skin appearance while delaying the signs of sagging and ageing.

What can you expect from the Soprano Titanium Lifting procedure? 

If you’re looking to undergo a Soprano Titanium Lifting, here’s what you can expect:

Due to its noticeable and immediate results and short duration, it is a popular procedure for those looking for youthful, radiant, and revitalised skin without extensive procedural time.

Although the procedure has no downtime, you are encouraged to observe the following post-procedure aftercare to maintain the results of the procedure:

  • Apply moisturiser and a broad-spectrum sunscreen
  • Avoid direct sunlight
  • Cleanse the face gently
  • Avoid taking hot showers or baths
  • Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor how the skin is progressing

So, is Titanium Lifting made for you?

If you’ve looked in the mirror recently and noticed visible changes to your skin, such as drooping eyelids,  jowls, deep nasolabial folds, eye bags or a more prominent double chin, chances are your skin has started to sag. Whilst sagging skin is part and parcel of ageing, it also taints one with a dull and tired complexion.

As you age, your skin loses volume and elasticity and gradually starts to sag. Additional factors such as unhealthy lifestyle, sudden weight loss, improper skin care, poor diet and overexposure to UV rays can also contribute to the development of sagging skin.

In such cases, Soprano Titanium Lifting is highly recommended. It is made for patients unwilling to commit to long, arduous treatments or treatments that live up to the “beauty is pain” saying. Sometimes beauty is a little nudge towards a taut, evenly toned skin that makes you look radiant and vivacious. 

This treatment will not leave you with jarring results– a main factor of concern for many of my patients in Singapore striving for a natural finish. It will do just enough for you to strut in new-found confidence, achieving a glow that is usually achieved with year-long consistency of good eating habits, anti-ageing topical solution and turning down excessive sun exposure, nicotine and alcohol.
