Have you been searching for a natural alternative to make you look and feel younger, tighter, lifted and refreshed without surgery?
Look no further, Dr. Mattone is excited to offer a low risk, non-surgical natural solution.
Fibroblast Skin Tightening is just that – a strategic lifting/tightening/shrinking of the skin that lifts droopy eyelids, smooths out undereye bags, erases lines, wrinkles, creases and crepey skin and plumps up lips. It tightens loose, sagging skin in areas that no amount of exercise can, such as your belly, knees and arms. The process is natural so the results look natural…something that can’t always be said following plastic surgery, botox and other invasive procedures.
Fibroblast skin tightening harnesses the power of your body’s own natural healing mechanism. It stimulates the body to make more collagen and elastin. In the process of healing, the loose skin returns to its more youthful original state.
The process can be likened to ironing away the wrinkles on your favorite shirt. A few quick passes and viola, the shirt comes out smooth, no wrinkles or creases, just like the day you got it!
While the remarkable results of Fibroblast Skin Tightening are comparable to plastic surgery, nothing else is. Fibroblast Skin Tightening is a fraction of the cost, there is no need for whole body anesthesia, no blood loss, no cutting, no stitches and no need for a hospital stay followed by hiding indoors for weeks. With Fibroblast Skin Tightening you’ll be back up and on the move as soon as the procedure is complete.
The effects of fibroblast, in much the same way as surgery, are permanent and may be visible for years, however neither procedure can stop the aging process.
Fibroblast technology can do so much more than get rid of wrinkles and loose skin on your neck, belly, arms and legs. It can also remove skin tags within seconds, eradicate age spots and stretch marks within minutes and significantly reduce the appearance of scars in a single session.

Fibroblast Skin Tightening Post-Care
Keep the area clean to avoid infections until the scabs have formed and exfoliated on their own. Follow the aftercare instructions exactly as written to ensure the best possible healed outcome.
Aftercare Do’s:
- Ice the treated area (use a clean tea towel to cover the ice pack) alternating 5 minutes on and 10 minutes off, for up to one hour for the first 2 days.
- Gently apply your aftercare product provided (using only clean hands) to the treated area as needed to relieve pain/itching each day until your scabs fall off on their own.
- IMPORTANT!!! Allow the scabs to come off on their own. This will ensure the best possible healed result and avoid scarring and infection.
- Be patient with the process and allow yourself time to rest and heal.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds – Once the scabbing/peeling process is complete, always apply a broad spectrum sunscreen to the treated area . The skin is still healing and can easily become damaged by the UV rays causing hyperpigmentation. The sunscreen should offer broadband protection (UVA and UVB) and have a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more. You should first apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside, and again, immediately before. After that, reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours. If direct sun exposure is necessary, wear a hat and clothing that covers the treated area. Use this regimen during the healing period and always.
Aftercare Don’ts:
- Do not pick the scabs. Let them fall off by themselves or you risk scarring
- Do not apply any make-up (even mineral) for the first 4 days or until the scabbing or peeling is complete (about 7-10 days).
- Do not apply any plasters (liquid band aid) on the treated areas as doing so can delay the natural healing process.
- Do not work out, swim, get in a hot tub or steam bath (avoid sweating and soaking scabs).
Swelling is to be expected after this type of treatment. This is due to the fact that the area will be recovering from a deliberate controlled wound, therefore the natural side effect is swelling. There are steps you can take to minimize the swelling but it cannot be avoided. You can’t avoid or cure the swelling – it is a response to the trauma. The swelling will subside in a matter of days.
Stages Of Healing
Day 1: Try to lay propped up with pillows. Do not lay completely horizontal. Weeping from the treated area is normal as well as some pain and discomfort. The swelling will likely be worse in the mornings and lessen towards the evening. You may find it difficult to open your eyes in the morning following the treatment however, it will subside throughout the day. It will feel like a bad sunburn.
Day 2: The swelling typically peaks by day 2. Do not be surprised if the swelling is worse on the 2nd day. Remember: swelling is worse in the mornings and lessens throughout the day. Swelling can also spread to the under eye area DON’T PANIC this is perfectly normal. The upper and lower eye are all connected therefore the fluids from the upper eye will drain to the lower eye area. This too shall pass. Discomfort and pain are still present and to be expected on the second day.
Day 3: You will notice an improvement in the swelling and the “dots” will start to crust/scab over. The scabs must not be picked, allow them to fall off on their own. Your level of discomfort will have subsided dramatically. Minimal pain expected for the 3rd day. For those who experienced the under eye swelling, this will still be present.
Day 4: Some mild residual swelling may still be present on the upper eyelids. No more pain or discomfort should be felt.
Day 5: Swelling should be complete and scabs may still be present. The under eye swelling should be almost completely resolved by this point if not gone.
