What Is RF Skin Tightening?
When you were younger, you probably didn't think very much about collagen and elastin, two vital proteins your skin needs to stay firm and healthy. As we get older, our bodies produce less of these substances, leading to lost volume, sagging skin, and a more tired-looking appearance. Luckily, there is a solution: nonsurgical skin tightening at Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness. Our Burnsville, MN practice is one of the first in the nation to perform skin tightening with ATTIVA®, which uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to cause the skin to retract while stimulating collagen and elastin production for long-lasting rejuvenation. This cutting-edge method offers a more precise approach that can target saggy skin all around the body, including the face, neck, arms, legs, breasts, butt, and more.
How Does Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Work?
Your ATTIVA skin tightening treatment at Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness will begin with a thorough cleaning of the treatment area. After that, we may apply a desensitizing cream to help soothe any potential discomfort, though most patients have no complaints about soreness during their procedure. When you are ready, we will carefully insert the ATTIVA's microcannula (a very thin medical tube) under your skin as it emits radiofrequency energy. As the device goes to work, our team will carefully control the temperature to maximize collagen and elastin production for lasting results. Nonsurgical skin tightening at our Burnsville, MN practice typically takes 30 – 90 minutes, depending on how big the treatment area is and how many areas you want to address. When we're finished, you're free to return to your daily routine.
What to Expect After Your RF Session
Following your session, the treated areas may appear pink or slightly swollen, and some temporary discomfort is normal, although these effects typically improve within a few days as the skin begins its renewal process. During your initial consultation at Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness, our team will explain the most effective ways to support your skin after your RF treatment, including hydration habits, gentle cleansing, and steps that help maintain an optimal barrier. Throughout your RF skin tightening recovery, it’s important to moisturize consistently, avoid UV exposure, and follow any personalized guidance to encourage smoother, more refined results. Most patients won’t see noticeable changes immediately, since collagen and elastin develop gradually. Your full improvements appear over several months as the deeper tissues tighten and firm, often bringing additional benefits like enhanced skin texture, improved tone, and a subtle lifting effect. Results from radiofrequency skin tightening can last 12 months or longer, especially when supported by healthy skincare habits and maintenance recommendations from our team.

Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Reviews
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Balgobin! He and his staff are so knowledgeable, kind, and make you feel so comfortable during any procedure! Lucky for me, I made friends with a couple of his other patients before hand so I knew I was going to be in great hands! I will be back for more services!!! Cannot wait to try skin tightening!!!
Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma - Dr. Balgobin is simply the G.O.A.T , hands down. He is a real life Superhero. I chose Dr. Balgobin , after following his work for years. I had Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma skin tightening to the abdomen. I trusted he would do an amazing job and I was not disappointed. I’m only one month post op , I look and feel amazing, I couldn’t be happier!! You only get one chance of getting your surgery and results right! Dr. Balgobin is beyond the best!!
Dr. Balgobin did his thing with this body - I was so afraid to do this! I've always wanted to especially after my 2nd child. This was the best decision I made! Dr. Balgobin did his thing with this body! I'm so serious. I look great! His staff were extremely professional and so welcoming, my consultation and everything went smoothly. He's so wonderful and kind. I had no issues whatsoever besides the pain after surgery. He was completely honest about the procedure that I really needed which was a tummy tuck but decided on lipo 360, jplasma skin tightening and bbl. Im 6 weeks post op now and still can't believe the skin on my stomach retracted the way it did. I'm still healing as far as scaring but WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. B!!
I had the renuvion and liposuction of the lower face, chin and neck. The results came quickly even with the initial swelling. It was painless with slight swelling and little to no bruising. I didn't tell anyone and within a few weeks post I was receiving several compliments on how good I was looking. It's subtle to others, but highly noticeable to me! I did a lot of research before going to Arijai clinic. I chose it because Dr B is highly skilled and confident in what he does, and it shows in the results!
