ATTIVA®

The Technology

ATTIVA is a subdermal radiofrequency treatment designed to tighten and strengthen skin from within. It targets the supportive tissue layer where collagen and elastin naturally weaken over time. Built-in sensors monitor tissue temperature in real time, ensuring precise heating without damaging outer layers. The result is a safe, effective method for firming and lifting skin without incisions or surface trauma. By addressing laxity at its source, ATTIVA improves firmness, restores smoother texture, and enhances definition without incisions, scars, or surface damage.

‍

How It Works

A precision-controlled probe is inserted through a small entry point beneath the skin. Radiofrequency energy is delivered directly into the subdermal layer, where it contracts tissue and activates fibroblasts. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, rebuilding the skin’s internal structure. The surface remains untouched, allowing visible results without external trauma or prolonged downtime.

Treatment Areas

ATTIVA can be applied to multiple zones where skin laxity and thinning occur. Each area is approached with customized settings to address tissue depth and density.

Face and jawline

Heat applied under the skin contracts tissue and supports new collagen, refining contours of the cheeks and jawline while softening early signs of laxity.

Neck and décolletage

Targeted thermal energy reduces crepiness and sagging below the chin and across the chest, producing smoother skin and a firmer neckline over time.

Defined results with no downtime

The Dolce Vida Touch

ATTIVA works where skin support starts to break down. It firms soft tissue from the inside, targeting areas where collagen has thinned and elasticity has dropped. The treatment is adjusted for depth, thickness, and location, giving each area what it needs to respond and hold results over time.

  • Smooths and tightens without surgery or skin removal
  • Targets crepey or sagging skin on the jawline, neck, arms, abdomen, and knees
  • Rebuilds internal support for lasting lift and firmness
  • Custom protocols for mild to moderate skin laxity
  • No visible scarring and minimal recovery

‍

Comfort

ATTIVA is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as warmth and pressure beneath the skin rather than pain. The system’s built-in sensors maintain consistent heating, allowing treatment to remain comfortable while still effective.

‍

Downtime

Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur in treated areas for several days. Most patients resume normal activity within 24 to 48 hours. Because the surface skin is not disrupted, there are no visible wounds or scarring. Collagen remodeling continues for months, so results improve progressively with little interruption to daily life.

All procedures are fully discussed in advance along with your budget considerations. I would highly recommend.

Kathi Ohara

I have now visited Dolce Vida medical spa 3 times, and have had a fantastic experience. Molly is the best! She was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The results of the treatment were exactly what I was looking for - not overdone, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Molly!

Erin Bellusci

I swore no botox, face lifts, lasers, EVER. Today i surrendered to FILLERS. What a fantastic experience. From the minute I walked in, it was super. The staff, the environment, the way everything was explained and finally executed. I wasnt over sold or “up sold.” I was asked what my goals were and what my expectations were. It was clear that my feelings about this were more important than anything else. Oh, by the way, the FILLER procedure was relatively pain free and quick. The results were amazing. Highly suggest this. Make the call!!!

I've been going to Stephanie for several years now, and I can confidently say she's the best in the business! Not only is she incredibly skilled at her craft, but she's also ridiculously personable and makes every appointment feel like a luxury experience. From the moment I walk in, I feel like I'm in good hands. Her attention to detail, her knowledge, and her genuine care for her clients are all top-notch. I've never left one of her sessions feeling anything less than amazing - relaxed, rejuvenated, and glowing!

I see Scott and always trust his recommendations. I also love that they offer a wide range of services, so I can always find exactly what I need to address any concerns I may have. The pricing is fair and competitive, especially considering the level of expertise and quality of service provided. If you are looking for a med spa that truly cares about their clients and delivers exceptional results, look no further.

Amy Sarbinowski

Suna Dalo

Stephanie @ Dolce Vida is fabulous. Always listens, is very knowledgeable and works with you so you can look and feel your best. And Maria at the front of the office is always very accommodating with scheduling needs.

Jessica Havens

If you love a beautiful spa, with credible and talented professionals, you definitely want to visit Dolce Vida Medical Spa.spa? I absolutely adore every single person who works there. Thank you, Dr. Scott, for hiring such a fabulous team of professionals.🥰

Randi Winkler

I have been using Scott services for about 10 years and I have not found such professionalism, trust and extreme care more than Scott and his team. I tried different spas in my area with cheap cost but I learn the quality is important than the cost. Even if I have complain about the cost, Scott immediately gives me a wonderful discount to keep me as a permanent customer. I encourage anyone who wants to obtain excellent service and efficiency to visit the Ascott offices in Trumbull, Westport and Ridgefield. keep up the great work.

Suzie Hamada

Dolce Vida is the best medical spa! The staff is very professional and super friendly. I have seen Scott for threads, fillers, and botox and had amazing results. I saw Molly for 3 SylfirmX treatments and she did an excellent job and is a sweetheart. I highly recommend this spa! They have many locations and all of them are beautiful.

Jackie

I moved here from NYC someone had recommended Dolce Vida to me. I’ve gone there a few times and each time it’s always been a really good experience. The staff is really friendly and I’ve seen Scott twice he is very friendly and explains things very thoroughly. He also recommends what the latest new techniques are to make you look your best, which I like , but isn’t pushy about it. Which is good cause he doesn’t put you on the spot. So thank you Scott and your staff for making me feel at ease.

Montana Landry

I love this place! The staff is fantastic talented and they keep it real. Even if I want something that they don’t think is for me Stephanie always tells me instead of just selling me for a higher ticket price . I love my visits and the results !

Sarah Chetta

Always an excellent experience! Stephanie is beyond talented and trustworthy. She truly is the BEST at what she does and goes above and beyond to make sure that your expectations are met. Not only is she kind and gentle, she is very well educated about the landmarks and anatomy involved with injectables. Maria, the patient care coordinator is a pleasure to have at the front. She always greets you with a smile and makes the checkout process simple as she is very knowledgeable in terms of handling your account and never fails to make sure you are aware of anything regarding charges and credits applied. They make a great team and treat you as if you are family. I would never recommend going anywhere else besides Dolce Vida! Truly outstanding customer service all around!!
