TITE MED is a med spa in Vancouver, Washington, about 28 minutes from downtown Portland, OR (17 miles via I-5 N and WA-500 E). The practice is led by Dr. Simran Kang, MD, and three parts of her work give Portland patients a reason to make the drive. She is a Key Opinion Leader for XERF skin tightening. She has trained in laser physics and has particular experience treating skin of color. And she personally oversees GLP-1 weight management, an interest that grew out of her research on diabetes medications.
Tuesday–Friday 9am–5pm
Closed Saturday–Monday
XERF is a needle-free radiofrequency treatment for skin that has started to lose firmness. It sends energy into the superficial, mid and deep layers of the skin, where collagen and elastin are formed, and uses real-time impedance feedback with built-in cooling to keep the heating even and comfortable. A session takes about 90 minutes depending on the area, downtime is minimal to none, and a series spaced several weeks apart is typically recommended. Improvement builds gradually over several weeks as the collagen response develops. Dr. Kang is recognized as a Key Opinion Leader for XERF technology and plans each series around the areas you want to treat.
Choosing a laser for medium and deeper skin tones takes care, because skin tone affects how light energy is absorbed. Dr. Kang’s training in laser physics and her experience treating skin of color shape which device she recommends. MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser for tone, texture, sun spots and pigmentation, and TITE offers it across skin types. BBL HERO uses broadband light on redness, sun damage and discoloration. Before you choose, the team can photograph your skin with Aura skin analysis, which maps pigmentation, redness and texture. The device decision is made at consultation, and results vary.
TITE MED’s GLP-1 weight loss program, TITE Total Transformation, pairs medical oversight with wellness-focused guidance. Depending on your health profile, it uses a GLP-1 medication or a combined GIP and GLP-1 medication, both of which slow digestion and quiet hunger signals so fullness lasts longer. Dr. Kang oversees every program, drawing on her background in obesity medicine. Your health history and goals are reviewed at consultation to decide whether medication is appropriate. The amount of weight a person loses varies, and no result is promised.
Dr. Kang is TITE MED’s founder and medical director. She trained at the University of Washington School of Medicine and brings more than a decade of aesthetic and regenerative medicine to the treatments above. Alongside her laser-physics training, she holds a Certificate in Integrative Medicine from the University of Arizona, a program directed by Dr. Andrew Weil, and she teaches through the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. She is a published researcher whose work has appeared in medical journals and on television. Every new patient gets at least 45 minutes with her at the first consultation, which is worth knowing if you are crossing the Columbia for the visit. The nurses and aestheticians who work with her are introduced on the meet the team page, and the before-and-after gallery shows examples of results.
Patients rate the Vancouver clinic 5.0 on Google across 98 reviews. One patient who came in for MOXI wrote: “I had the Moxi Laser treatment to help with melasma and dark spots from acne and I was very pleased with the results after the first session.” Another, who combines injectables with weight care, said: “Everyone is exceptionally nice, attentive and listens to your needs. I do botox and weight management through them.”
XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens skin by stimulating collagen and elastin in several skin layers at once. Sessions take about 90 minutes, and downtime is minimal. The XERF page explains how a session works, and a series can be paid over time with financing or a membership.
From downtown Portland, allow about 28 minutes to reach the Vancouver clinic, open Tuesday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Call (360) 518-0888 or book a consultation online. The first visit is at least 45 minutes with Dr. Kang, enough time to cover XERF, laser options or GLP-1 care in one appointment.
