The ATTIVA procedure is administered under local anesthesia, so patients should not feel much pain during the treatment. Sensitive areas of the skin may experience mild swelling or discomfort, but these symptoms should disappear over time.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of appointments necessary to meet your aesthetic goals will be dependent on the extent of the treatment required. Many of our patients also schedule regular touch-up appointments to ensure their results last longer. Your provider will be able to determine the number of appointments needed to fulfill your aesthetic goals in your individual consultation.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Most patients will see some improvement immediately following their treatment, though the body will need time to produce collagen and regenerate elastin for best results. We advise our patients to wait two to three months following their procedure to evaluate their results fully. On average, it will take about five months to see rejuvenated skin, with results lasting up to 18 to 20 months.

Can I Combine ATTIVA with Other Procedures?

Yes! Many of our ATTIVA patients prefer to add other cosmetic treatments, such as BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers or dermal fillers . Please mention all your preferred cosmetic treatments in your consultation so your provider can advise you on the best treatment plan that can incorporate all your procedures while delivering on your aesthetic goals.

What Are the Risks Associated with ATTIVA?

What Is ATTIVA?

ATTIVA is a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure involving the use of a medical device to generate heat and stimulate deep tissue to generate collagen, thereby stimulating the skin’s natural healing and regeneration process. This results in a sculpted, contoured body with similar results to a facelift or body lift, but without the surgery and associated recovery period.

ATTIVA uses patented subdermal induced heat (SIH) technology to uniformly heat the deep tissue layers with precision while also protecting the skin for long-lasting results. ATTIVA “Gyne” can also specifically address female intimacy by targeting vaginal dryness, laxity, and incontinence caused by aging or childbirth.
