Best Collagen Treatments for Facial Firmness and Skin Quality
Compare the most effective collagen treatments for facial firmness and skin quality. Expert insights from Arviv Medical Aesthetics in Florida.
Skin Rejuvenation · Westchase, Tampa, Florida
From a HydraFacial or a peel through microneedling, PicoWay, and CO2 or Erbium:YAG resurfacing, our longest-tenured team at the Westchase flagship helps you pick the one your skin actually needs.
The Deepest Bench We Have
If dark spots, fine lines, or skin that just looks tired are what brought you here, skin rejuvenation is the set of treatments that improve tone and texture without surgery, and our Westchase flagship carries all six of them. How far you go is your call: a peel's recovery scales with its depth, as clinical peel evidence documents, and a CO2 pass reaches deeper, which is what makes it the one your provider reaches for with pronounced scarring. Tampa Spa Suites shares this address, so its spa services sit alongside your treatment rather than across town, and you can plan both into one visit.
PicoWay, CO2 laser resurfacing, Erbium:YAG, microneedling, chemical peels, and HydraFacial all run at Westchase, so a concern never gets answered with a referral somewhere else.
Of the three Florida locations, Westchase is the one carrying Erbium:YAG, which gives your provider a gentler ablative setting to reach for when CO2 is more than the concern needs.
Our providers have run these devices at this location for over a decade, under protocols Dr. Tali Arviv, MD wrote and still owns.
A Quick Decision Aid
You can have either laser at Westchase, which makes choosing between them the one real decision in front of you. A laser resurfacing explainer from an academic medical center covers the science, and the part that matters when you are booking is short: the deeper the pass goes, the more it corrects and the longer you plan to be healing.
| Feature | CO2 Laser Resurfacing | Erbium:YAG |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Deeper acne scarring, etched lines, and sun damage | Superficial to moderate lines and active acne |
| How deep it reaches | Ablates in a fractional pattern and carries heat into deeper layers | Works nearer the surface and leaves less heat behind |
| Recovery to expect | Around a week of visible healing | Shorter, with fewer side effects reported |
| How it is usually planned | Often a single deeper pass with a long runway after | Often a short series, spaced out over months |
An ASDS guide notes that erbium lasers tend to cause fewer side effects than CO2, which is a useful general rule and still not a substitute for your provider looking at your skin. That look is what the consult is for.

In Their Words
Resurfacing is slower work than a single appointment, so what guests tend to describe is a provider they kept going back to rather than one visit that fixed everything. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.
“I visited Diana this week for a facial and left there feeling relaxed and refreshed. From the moment I walked in until I left the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and I didn't get the upsell pitch you encounter with some Med Spas. I will be back for another visit.”
“Another great experience at Arviv today! I had my Deluxe facial today with Diana and she was amazing. I left with my face hydrated, moisturized and glowing! Shout out to the entire office for always being so kind and making me feel so comfortable. Thank you Diana!!!”
“Danielle has helped me recover my beautiful complexion (@ 61 yo) I look forward to all of my appointments with her. I told her what I was trying to achieve,; then she goes over the different options & She feels are best for what I want the outcome to be. She knows her stuff inside and out! I highly recommend her.”
Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.
The Tampa Directory
Each of the six has its own page and its own recovery window. PicoWay is the picosecond platform our tattoo removal also runs on, covered for both uses by FDA safety data. If acne scarring is the reason you are here, published collagen induction research is a good companion read to the microneedling card below.
Skin rejuvenation also runs in Miami and Ocala, though Erbium:YAG stays here. Our resource hub carries the longer reading, and if you would rather shop by concern, fine lines and dark spots are the two this menu addresses most often. You can pair skin work with injectables or spa services in one plan.
Six treatments live here: PicoWay, CO2 laser resurfacing, microneedling, Erbium:YAG, chemical peels, and HydraFacial, each with its own page. Erbium:YAG is offered at this location only. Microdermabrasion is available as a gentler exfoliation inside a HydraFacial visit rather than as a treatment of its own.
Depth, mostly. CO2 reaches further and carries more heat into the skin, which is what makes it the choice for pronounced scarring and etched lines, and also what makes the healing week a real one. Erbium:YAG works closer to the surface, so it suits superficial to moderate lines and active acne with a gentler recovery. Your provider looks at your skin and your calendar before recommending either.
A HydraFacial is $260 on our Tampa menu, confirmed at booking, and it is the lowest-commitment way to start if a laser is more than you want right now. A dermatology facial guide from an academic medical center is a fair primer on what this kind of treatment does for skin.
No. Erbium:YAG runs at Westchase only. The other five treatments on this page are offered at all three Florida locations, so if you are closer to Miami or Ocala, everything except Erbium:YAG is available there.
Tampa Spa Suites is part of this same Westchase location, so the treatments on this page are booked here either way. The spa services page covers what sits alongside them, including permanent makeup.
