    Titan AllWays harmonizes the benefits of three sources of energy—Bi-Polar RF energy, LED light energy, and IR heat energy. This powerful combination creates a safe, painless, and proven result, penetrating the skin to seek out damaged tissue and repair it. The warmth given off by the device stimulates the skin’s renewing properties. The collagen and elastin fibers contract and the skin repairs itself from the inside. From the outside, the skin looks younger and is noticeably tighter.

    If you’re a mature mom like me, you’re mood and skin may be acting a bit odd these days. Sound familiar? While I can’t suggest anything for your mood swings, I’m obsessed with this Chicago Based skincare brand. Suki is so clean and also so calming if you’re peri-eh-hem, meno-cycling like me.
