Fibroblast skin tightening offers numerous benefits for adults over 30 who desire a youthful appearance without resorting to surgery. For those seeing the first signs of mild skin laxity to those experiencing a moderate amount, fibroblast skin tightening is a noninvasive, nonsurgical method of skin tightening.
What Is Fibroblast Skin Tightening and How Does It Work?
Performed at Arviv Medical Aesthetics in Tampa, fibroblast skin tightening stimulates collagen and elastin to boost tighter, smoother skin on the face, neck, arms, and tummy.
The Plasma Pen Technique and Controlled Micro-injury
The fibroblast plasma pen is used over the skin without ever touching it. Tiny controlled micro-wounds are made in the desired area, which vaporize skin cells, causing micro-injuries by producing new, firmer collagen and elastin
Fibroblast Skin Tightening Treatments Are Non-Invasive
Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening in Tampa is able to treat a number of areas non- invasively, including:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Upper eyelids
- Nasolabial folds
- Upper lip
- Lower lip
- Jowls
- Neck
- Tummy/belly button
- Stretch marks
- Skin tags
- Crepey skin
What to Expect With Fibroblast Skin Treatment?
Usually, Fibroblast treatments last approximately one hour. The treatment is virtually painless, requires no anesthesia, and there are no cuts or blood. While the treatment device itself never touches the skin, the plasma flash creates a tiny dot (carbon crusts) upon contact. These superficial dots, which form in a symmetrical grid over the treatment area, are part of the normal healing process and will fall off 5-7 days post-treatment. At Arviv Medical Aesthetics, our patients can return to their normal activities right away with minimal discomfort.
Key Benefits of Fibroblast Skin Tightening
Some advantages of fibroblast treatments include:
Lift and Firm Sagging Skin
When sagging skin around the eyelids, neck, and jowls is lifted, you will experience a more youthful appearance without surgical intervention.
Smoother Texture and Reduced Crepey Skin & Fine Lines
Fibroblast skin tightening performed on crepey skin around the neck or the upper arms boosts firmness and elasticity.
Minimal Downtime Compared to Surgery
You will experience some swelling and redness along with small scabs for five to 10 days. Following surgical intervention, your downtime could be two weeks, and for some, much longer.
How Soon Will I See Results from Fibroblast Skin Tightening?
Most patients who have Fibroblast skin tightening see results instantly, which continue to improve over the course of the following 90 days.
Fibroblast Skin Tightening vs Traditional Surgery vs Other Non-Surgical Methods
The lack of invasiveness with no need for anesthesia is a major plus for the use of fibroblast skin tightening. It is also far less expensive than surgery.
While other non-surgical options often require multiple treatments, fibroblast is often a one-time treatment that can last for years.
What to Expect During & After Your Fibroblast Treatment
After you schedule your Arviv Medical Aesthetics fibroblast treatment, there is little to do ahead of your treatment date. Be sure to follow any instructions we provide for you.
Typical Recovery, Visible Results Timeline
During recovery, you should keep the area clean and use any prescribed ointment or cream. You will see immediate results as the swelling and redness
Downtime, Aftercare, Realistic Expectations
While the downtime is minimal, you should avoid direct sunlight and the use of makeup for a few weeks following treatment. The results from fibroblast skin tightening may continue to generate for up to 12 weeks and will remain for years following.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Fibroblast Skin Tightening?
If you are in the 30-to-60-year age group and are suffering mild to moderate skin laxity, you may be an ideal candidate for fibroblast skin tightening.
Skin Types, Conditions That Benefit Most
If you have a lighter skin tone with wrinkles such as crow’s feet and frown lines, acne scars, or stretch marks, you may be a good candidate for fibroblast treatment.
Situations Where Alternative Treatments May Be Better
For those with darker skin tones, who have deeply tanned skin, or a history of keloid scarring, there are alternative treatments that may be better suited for you.
Additionally, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have medical issues such as healing disorders, diabetes, a pacemaker, or skin infections, including acne, we should discuss other treatment options.
