All About the Wrinkle Reduction Treatment, Pelleve

What is Pelleve?

Refresh your appearance without surgery! The Pelleve Wrinkle Reduction System is a safe and effective, non-invasive skin tightening treatment for facial wrinkles. It works through heat to stimulate collagen production causing the skin to contract and tighten. The increase of collagen allows skin to correct mild to moderate facial wrinkles.

How does Pelleve work?

The treatment delivers constant, gradual radio frequency energy deep into the skin, causing heat to build up where the skin and fat layer meet. The heat modifies the collagen bundles deep in the skin, causing contraction and stimulating the growth of new collagen over time. The result is tighter, younger looking skin. After 1 treatment, 9 out of 10 patients experienced a significant benefit. After 6 months, almost 90% of the patients still had a lasting effect.

What are the benefits?

  • Safe and effective way to reduce wrinkles without surgery
  • No downtime and little-to-no pain
  • Treatment takes less than an hour
  • Almost immediate, visible results
  • No drugs or anesthetics are sued during the procedure
  • In 2009, the FDA cleared it for the treatment of facial wrinkles

When should you consider Pelleve?

  • You want tighter, younger skin
  • You want quick results

Where can you get it done?

Treatments can be done in the dermatologist’s office. Each treatment will take 30-60 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated at one time. Results will be seen almost instantaneously.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients describe the treatment as a warm facial massage. There is little-to-no recovery time for this procedure. You can wear makeup right away and resume normal activities.
