What Is Pellevé?
There’s an amazing new and non-invasive treatment that is effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s Pellevé, a skin tightening therapy that works by stimulating collagen and elasticity for firmer skin. Improve your skin on a whole new level with advanced technology that targets those specific signs of aging that everyone goes through.
How It Works
The technology behind Pellevé is through using radiofrequency waves to go deep within the skin to target aging, specifically fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin (loss of elasticity). This skin tightening therapy works on the face and neck by heating the skin down to the dermal layer to gradually encourage the stimulation of new and beneficial collagen. It’s done with the patented Pellevé GlideSafe handpiece, which is gently massaged over the desired treatment areas. The result is more youthful-looking skin that is firmer, smoother, and radiant.
FAQs
What types of results can I expect?
You can expect to see tighter, younger looking skin. The wrinkle reduction effects may continue to improve as your skin produces new collagen.
How long does it take?
Each treatment will be from 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
How many treatments will I need?
Most people see results immediately after just one treatment. For many patients, a series of three treatments may be recommended for optimal improvement.
Does it hurt?
No. Unlike other skin tightening systems, Pellevé does not require anesthesia. The treatment is virtually painless and patients often say that it feels like a warm massage.
How quickly will I recover?
You may be slightly pink with mild swelling for a few hours. You can resume regular daily activities right away and start to see some improvement immediately. There is no recovery time needed.
What are the best treatment areas?
The main treatment areas for using Pellevé skin tightening therapy are around the face, jawline, and neck. That is mainly where expression lines and sagging skin (laxity) are a problem due to aging. The goal is total rejuvenation of the face and neck to turn back the hands of time when the skin was more naturally youthful-looking.
