Read on to learn more about Attiva IRF and how it’s changing the world of nonsurgical skin rejuvenation.
How Attiva IRF Works
Attiva IRF is a breakthrough in non-invasive skin rejuvenation.
Many skin rejuvenation treatments only work on the surface, but Attiva IRF gently and precisely heats all layers of the skin using three types of radiofrequency currents (continuous, sequential, and fractional.)This comprehensive approach works in two ways.
First, electrical stimulation contracts the collagen fibers beneath your skin, providing immediate tightening. Simultaneously, the IRF targets the extracellular matrix (ECM) to heat the fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and even “master cells” (the cells that can create any new type of tissue the body needs.)
This process signals your body to make new skin proteins called collagen and elastin, both crucial for firmness and tightness.
Attiva IRF Results
Attiva IRF offers impressive outcomes, including improvements in:
- Skin Sagging
- Lines and Wrinkles
- Skin Volume
- Skin Texture
Most patients immediately experience firmer and tighter skin, with further improvements as the body builds new collagen and elastin. On average, results last 18-20 months.
The Attiva IRF Treatment Process
We provide local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Our practice also offers ProNox, the nitrous oxide that allows you to control the anesthesia yourself.
The treatment process involves inserting an ultra-thin treatment tool (a combined micro-cannula and electrode) at key points in the skin. We monitor your skin temperature constantly using the Double Temperature Control System to ensure your safety and comfort.
Sessions takes 30-60 minutes. Most patients resume daily activities immediately or within a few days.
Attiva IRF vs. Facelift
Because Attiva IRF treats many of the same problems as a surgical facelift, many patients ask whether it might be a good alternative. In many cases, the answer is “yes!”
Attiva IRF can help roll back the clock for your skin and its underlying structures. If you have volume loss, mild to moderate sagging, or textural changes due to aging and sun exposure, Attiva IRF may be the perfect approach.
Although results might not be quite as dramatic as a surgical facelift, most patients still enjoy a significant improvement without spending weeks or months in recovery: No scars, no surgical drains, and virtually no pain.
