Discover the Transformative Power of Attiva RF

Written by Lorie Carter, APRN — Owner & Founder, St Johns Aesthetics and Wellness Center

Modern aesthetics is changing fast, and one technology is redefining how we think about skin tightening. Attiva RF by Reveal Lasers delivers close-to-surgical lifting and rejuvenation, without incisions, extended recovery, or the risks that come with traditional face or neck-lift surgery. At St Johns Aesthetics, just minutes from Nocatee, this advanced treatment helps patients regain firmness and youthful definition safely and comfortably.

How Attiva RF Revolutionizes Skin Rejuvenation

Attiva RF uses precise radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin from within. A slender cannula delivers controlled warmth deep into the tissue layers, prompting your body’s natural healing response. As the cannula glides beneath the surface, it gently contracts tissue, almost like a careful “shrink-wrap” effect, while encouraging new collagen to form over the following months.

Because the device monitors both internal and external temperatures in real time, treatments remain safe and consistent. In skilled hands, Attiva RF can also target small areas of unwanted fullness such as under the chin or along the jawline, refining your profile while firming the surrounding skin.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with our medical provider to review your goals and determine if Attiva RF is the right choice. If another treatment would serve you better, we’ll guide you there honestly. On procedure day, we’ll take photos for your record and apply topical numbing to keep you comfortable; localized numbing injections may also be used. Be sure to mention any prior issues with anesthesia or sensitivity so we can tailor your care.

The procedure typically lasts one to two hours depending on the treatment area. Using the Attiva RF handpiece, our provider delivers energy at precise depths to achieve even tightening and lift. You may notice an improvement immediately after treatment, especially once any swelling subsides. Some patients see a visible reduction in under-chin fullness right away, while others notice progressive improvement as tissues settle and heal.

Immediate and Long-Term Benefits

One of the most exciting parts of Attiva RF is how quickly the skin begins to respond. Many patients leave the office noticing a smoother, firmer appearance. Over the next three to four months, results continue to build as collagen strengthens and the skin becomes more elastic. Fine lines soften, laxity improves, and overall tone looks refreshed and lifted. Most people also experience a visible glow within two weeks of treatment as circulation and skin vitality improve.

Aftercare and Recovery

After your session, you can expect mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days. Follow all post-treatment instructions carefully, avoid direct sun exposure, skip strenuous activity for 24–48 hours, and use the recommended skincare to support healing. These simple steps protect your investment and help your new collagen develop beautifully for months to come.
