A minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment designed for appropriate candidates seeking improvement in skin laxity and contour with a personalized, medically guided plan.

Attiva delivers controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin. Consultation is essential to discuss anatomy, goals, alternatives, anesthesia, recovery, and whether a minimally invasive procedure is appropriate.
Appropriateness and alternatives are assessed before treatment.
Technique and intensity are selected for your anatomy and goals.
Benefits, limitations, recovery, and risks are discussed directly.
Your plan can be staged and adjusted as your needs evolve.
Each option addresses a different concern. Consultation determines candidacy, sequencing, and whether another approach is more appropriate.
Treatment planning may address mild-to-moderate laxity and contour through the lower face.
Selected candidates may seek improvement in laxity or crepey texture in the neck region.
Consultation determines whether a body concern is appropriate for treatment and what result is realistic.

Your concern, health history, prior treatment, timeline, and tolerance for recovery all affect the recommendation.

Minimally invasive RF treatment requires trained, experienced care.
Individual results vary. Images and descriptions are educational and do not guarantee an outcome.
Review goals, anatomy, health history, medications, alternatives, and whether treatment is appropriate.
Receive individualized procedural and medication instructions. Do not stop prescribed medication without medical guidance.
Treatment involves controlled energy beneath the skin and may require local anesthesia or other comfort measures.
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary sensory changes can occur. Collagen remodeling develops over time.

Lorie Carter, APRN, brings more than 20 years of nursing experience and over 13 years of aesthetic specialization to every treatment plan.
Her approach is direct, educational, and centered on whether a treatment is appropriate—not on selling a procedure.
No. Attiva is generally described as minimally invasive because energy is delivered beneath the skin. Consultation should cover the procedural steps, anesthesia, recovery, and risks.
It is not equivalent to surgery. It may be considered for selected patients with mild-to-moderate concerns who understand the limits of a minimally invasive treatment.
Some contour change may be noticed earlier, while collagen remodeling evolves over the following months. Results vary.
Recovery varies by area and treatment extent. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and activity restrictions may occur.
Suitability depends on health history, anatomy, medications, expectations, and other factors that require an in-person medical assessment.
