Starmed's VIVA combo RF System cleared the FDA in late May. As the name hints, it's a dual-mode radiofrequency platform — the category behind nonsurgical skin tightening and body contouring, where RF heat is used to firm lax skin and smooth contours.
RF is one of the most-requested and most-crowded segments right now, and that cuts both ways. Demand is real and recurring — these are series-based, repeatable treatments — but patients are also being marketed a dozen near-identical 'tightening' devices, so differentiation comes from your results and protocols, not the box on the shelf.
If you're eyeing an entry here, the numbers that decide ROI are treatment time per area, disposable cost per session, and how many sessions a typical patient needs to see — and rebook for — a visible result. A clearance answers none of those.
The cleared indications and configurations are in the FDA record.
