Minimal downtime
Crepey skin is a common concern that develops as the skin loses elasticity and collagen over time. It often appears thin, wrinkled, and fragile, resembling crepe paper. Factors such as aging, sun damage, dehydration, and loss of skin firmness contribute to this condition. Fortunately, advanced treatments can help restore skin texture, improve elasticity, and rejuvenate your appearance.
At Viva Medspa & Wellness in Cranston, RI, we offer cutting-edge treatments designed to target and improve crepey skin. By using the latest technology, we help restore skin elasticity, smooth wrinkles and enhance collagen production for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. For crepey skin, the tiny needles create micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production, while the RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, promoting further tightening and smoothing.
T Shape 2 is an innovative body contouring and skin tightening system that combines radiofrequency, laser therapy, and vacuum massage. This minimally invasive treatment increases circulation, boosts collagen production, and firms crepey skin with zero downtime. T Shape 2 is particularly effective for loose skin on the arms, thighs, abdomen, and other problem areas, helping to restore a more toned and youthful appearance.

After Treatment
To sustain long-term results, periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended. A medical-grade skincare regimen, including moisturizers, retinol, and SPF, will help enhance and prolong your results. Practitioners at Viva Medspa & Wellness will create a personalized maintenance plan that may include at-home skincare products and occasional in-office treatments to ensure ongoing skin health.
Most patients notice smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin within a few months of starting treatment. Results improve over time as the skin naturally regenerates collagen and elastin. With proper skincare and maintenance, improvements can last several months to years, depending on the treatment method used. Areas such as the face, neck, arms, and abdomen become visibly firmer, with fine lines and wrinkles significantly reduced. Consistent treatments and a healthy skincare routine will help preserve long-term results, allowing your skin to stay hydrated, plump, and youthful.
The number of sessions required depends on the severity of crepey skin, individual skin type, and the chosen treatment method. Many patients see improvements right after one session, but optimal results are typically achieved after several treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Most treatments are gentle and well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort during the procedure. Depending on the technology used, some patients may experience a warming sensation, mild tingling, or slight pressure. For specific procedures, a numbing cream may be applied beforehand to ensure maximum comfort.
Side effects are mild and temporary, with some patients experiencing redness, slight swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours to days, though redness or irritation may take up to 3 days to fully resolve.
Results vary depending on the treatment type and individual response, but most patients notice visible improvements within a few weeks. As collagen production increases and the skin regenerates, the skin continues to tighten, smooth, and improve in texture over time.
While advanced treatments can significantly improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, no procedure can completely reverse the effects of aging and environmental damage. However, a combination of professional treatments, a consistent skincare routine, and a healthy lifestyle can help maintain youthful, smoother-looking skin for the long term.
With proper care, results may last several months to years, depending on the treatment type, skin condition, and lifestyle factors. Regular maintenance treatments, medical-grade skincare, sun protection, and a balanced diet rich in collagen-boosting nutrients can help prolong and enhance the benefits of your treatment over time.
