One of the biggest benefits of the ATTIVA treatment is the minimal downtime. Aside from the possible bruising and swelling you can expect the treated areas to be tender but this resolves within 24 hours and normal activities can be resumed.

The treated area may feel a bit tight or sore after the procedure and any discomfort can be treated with over the counter Tylenol. However, if your pain is unbearable, please call our office immediately. Initial swelling and bruising can take one to two weeks to resolve, and while initial results are immediate, the final result is typically seen 3 to 4 months later due to the collagen and elastin remodeling within the skin.
Avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or excessive heat for at least 24 hours after the procedure. This includes avoiding tanning beds, hot tubs, saunas, and sunbathing. Keep the treated area clean and moisturized to promote healing and prevent infection. Avoid applying makeup or any other skincare products that contain harsh chemicals or exfoliating agents for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Refrain from vigorous exercise or any other strenuous physical activity for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and aid in the recovery process. Be gentle when washing or touching the treated area, and avoid rubbing or scratching the skin.
