ATTIVA is a remarkable non-surgical, non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed for both the face and body that offers you visible and impressive results with minimal to no downtime. What sets ATTIVA apart is its exceptional Subdermal Induced Heat Technology (S.I.H.) delivery system, skillfully delivering radiofrequency energy below the skin’s surface.
ATTIVA employs Subdermal Induced Heat (S.I.H.) technology, which integrates continuous, fractional, and sequential radiofrequency currents to uniformly heat subdermal tissue layers. The FDA-approved ATTIVA device features a highly responsive thermal imaging camera, ensuring precise skin temperature control throughout the treatment.
Once the skin is properly anesthetized, a slim electrode emitting radiofrequency is carefully applied for a specific duration, tailored to the treated area. The procedure is meticulously monitored by a camera, measuring the skin’s surface temperature to ensure its safety.

Following the treatment, patients will immediately notice tighter, smoother skin.In fact, our patients see up to a 60% improvement in a single treatment! Over the course of the next 4 to 6 weeks, you’ll see that the lifting effect becomes progressively more noticeable and continues to improve as new collagen is produced. You may opt to have multiple treatments to optimize results.
The results of our ATTIVA RF treatment can last up to 12 to 18 months or longer, depending on factors such as age, your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you maintain your results. As collagen production continues to improve over time, the effects may last longer with proper skincare and occasional maintenance treatments. Regular touch-ups can help prolong the youthful, firm appearance achieved by the procedure.
Yes! We recommend incorporating Skin Genius Hydra-Boost IQ Collagen Booster, Supercharged IQ and Drama Queen IQ Vitamin C Cream into your anti-aging skin regimen.
Also, make sure you are using sunscreen daily. We recommend either the Skin Genius Protect 44 or Drenched Protect 40. Protect 44 is water resistant and has a sheer, universal tint beneficial for most skin types. Protect 40 contains hyaluronic acid and is great for post-procedure and sensitive skin.
Your appointment will be scheduled for 60 – 120 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
The Attiva RF treatment is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a warm sensation as the radiofrequency energy penetrates the skin, but most find it manageable. Numbing cream or local anesthesia can be used to minimize any discomfort, making the treatment more comfortable. We can also provide Pronox to make the procedure pain-free. After the procedure, you may experience some redness or mild swelling. Any swelling is typical minimal and is usually gone in 24 hours; bruising may last a few days.
It’s important to avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least a week before the procedure to minimize skin sensitivity. You should also stop using retinoids, exfoliants, and other harsh skincare products for a few days prior to the treatment to prevent irritation. Staying well-hydrated before your appointment can help improve the skin’s responsiveness. Additionally, if you’re using any blood-thinning medications, it’s best to consult with us first as you may need to avoid them before the treatment. Make sure the treatment area is clean and free of makeup or lotions on the day of your appointment.
With ATTIVA, you can enjoy minimal downtime. While there may be some expected bruising and swelling, these typically resolve within 24 hours, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly.
