Attiva Skin Tightening is an innovative and unique patented 4D skin tightening and sculpting technique that uses RF energy to tighten the deepest layers of skin and soft tissues by realigning existing collagen, stimulating collagen fibers in the skin, and stimulating fibroblasts to naturally produce new collagen.
Uses of Attiva Technology
The main functions of the Attiva technique are to enhance the structure and regeneration of the skin, the structural reconstruction of scars and the restoration of the vital functions of the skin’s lax tissues for the face and body, and it is used efficiently in the following cases:
- Non-Surgical Facelift
- Treatment of wrinkles and signs of aging.
- Skin tightening on all areas of the body.
- Quadruple sculpture of face and body.
- Treatment of hyperhidrosis.
- Double chin treatment.
- Tighten the outer delicate area in women.
- Enhance skin tone and improve acne scars.
- Improve skin elasticity and texture and reduce fine lines in the skin.
Attiva Features

- It is performed under local anesthesia and may not require anesthesia in some cases.
- Immediate results after the session as well as gradual long-term results up to 5 years.
- It does not cause any side effects and patient can return to normal life immediately after the procedure.
- Stimulates collagen and elastin that are important for skin youth.

How Attiva works
Attiva works by inserting a thin, flexible tube that moves easily under the skin containing an optical cable that delivers continuous, partial and sequential radio waves, uniformly heating different skin layers including the dermis and deep subcutaneous layers. All with careful temperature monitoring allowing the treating physician to control thermal diffusion based on individual needs and skin problems.
It is worth mentioning that the technology contains cannula needles of different sizes, which helps to target all areas of the body, as it contains 3 external heads of the face and fine areas of the body in addition to an external handle of the body, and a complete energy and temperature control system.
The technology is considered the safest because it contains many unique protection systems, allowing the doctor to continuously monitor during the procedure and carefully control the thermal diffusion within the skin tissue and on the skin surface, namely:
- Thermocamera is a high-sensitivity thermal imaging camera that measures the skin’s external temperature to ensure that no external skin burns occur.
- Endo Sensor measures the temperature inside the layers of the skin.
- BI Polar Earth for discharging charges from the body.
- Emergency Alarm to alert the doctor when the skin’s external temperature rises.
As a result of its ability to accurately control temperature, the technique is used in many different cases, including skin tightening, body sculpting, dissolving fat, improving cellulite conditions, treating hyperhidrosis, treating the effects of scarring, tightening the vagina, in addition to beautifying and tightening the special area in women.

Before your treatment session
As with most cosmetic procedures, there are some basic precautions to consider, including:
- Medical conditions that affect wound healing, such as diabetes, should be discussed with the doctor.
- Stopping blood-thinning drugs five days before the procedure to reduce the appearance of bruises, after consulting a doctor.
- Not being exposed to the sun and stopping the use of skin scrubs a week before the session.
- The doctor should be informed about any previous surgery to the target area, especially the facial area.
- Regular use of some types of supplements may cause bruising and swelling, so they should be stopped two weeks before the procedure.
- The doctor must be informed about the presence of devices or minerals in the body that may interfere with the energy of the device used, such as pacemakersand dental implants.
After the treatment session
The client usually does not need to follow any instructions after the session, and some doctors may advise the following:
- Use cold compresses to reduce the appearance of bruising.
- Do not use cosmetics or sun exposure in the first days after the procedure.
- Do not touch the injection sites to avoid transmission.
- In case of pain, over-the-counter pain relievers may be used.
- Maintain skin moisture with a medicated moisturizer and drink adequate amounts of water.
- In some cases, the doctor may recommend wearing a corset after the procedure.
Appearance of results and duration of the procedure
Results begin to appear immediately after the session and results continue to appear within 6 months after the session, during which time the doctor may advise you to have another treatment session to enhance the appearance of results or another outcome-enhancing procedure may be performed such as Magellan injections, Morpheus, or the US Thermage FLX technology. Depending on the condition, lifestyle and age, the procedure may be performed every one to two years only once to maintain the results.
The duration of the procedure is related to the area under treatment and the number of areas to be treated. Usually, one area lasts from 15-20 minutes, and the duration may reach about an hour if the face and neck area are targeted.
Is it an alternative procedure to surgery?
Attiva works with almost everyone who is looking for a non-surgical and effective face and body lift procedure, but the ideal candidate should have realistic expectations of results, as it is not considered an alternative procedure to surgery and therefore may not be suitable for people looking to tighten severe skin flabs resulting from sleeve surgeries or advanced skin aging.
Is it painful?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person and in general the procedure is painless and performed under local anesthesia to ensure no pain is felt during the session, local anesthesia may not be used when targeting certain areas.
The patient may feel some discomfort during the session, such as feeling some heat, feeling the needle move under the skin, or feeling the muscles contract.
Uses in Attiva Gyne Cosmetology
The Attiva Gyne handle is designed to be used to treat the sensitive area in women and can be used to tighten and constrict the vagina, treat vaginal dryness, and treat incontinence, which can occur as a result of aging, repeated pregnancy and childbirth, and changes in hormones in the body.
The technique is characterized by the possibility of using it internally to tighten the vaginal area in addition to external use, which aims to tighten and beautify the labia majora and rejuvenate the area, where thermal radio waves stimulate collagen inside the vagina and on the outer labia, which gives a noticeable effect for internal and external tightening within 6-4 weeks of the session.
Its uses in dissolving fat and treating cellulite
As a result of the device’s ability to control the thermal energy emitted by the needle, the doctor can use it to dissolve fat in some areas of the body, such as dissolving double chin fat, abdomen, waistlines, etc., through the use of high thermal energy.
Attiva technology may be used in conjunction with microneedling techniques such as Morpheus 8 for cellulite conditions, as well as targeting localized lipids in therapeutic programs that incorporate Attiva technology with American coolsculpting and EMTONE technology or fat dissolving injections.
The difference between Attiva and other radio wave technologies
Many cosmetic techniques work using radio waves, but what distinguishes Attiva is that it is the only technique in the world that works under the skin with very high accuracy, in addition to working on the surface layers without exposing the external skin to any heat that may cause redness or burns in the skin, while other techniques work on the surface of the skin.
Can sessions be conducted during pregnancy?
The technique is used for adults only and is recommended for people aged 20-70 years and is considered an unsafe procedure during pregnancy.
