Pelleve Treatment
In today’s busy time, those patients who are interested in lifting sagging skin by tightening the tissues often do not want to have the downtime of a facelift. Ultherapy and Thermage help to tighten the skin but are more uncomfortable than Pelleve. Pelleve is a warm energy but not painful enough to require sedative medication or pain medication.Pelleve uses radiofrequency energy to deliver electromagnetically-induced heat in the dermis without affecting the epidermis. It can be done as one treatment, but there may be more improvement in some patients who need more work, with a series of monthly treatments for three or more. The collagen in the dermis responds to Pelleve by tightening and producing more collagen.
Immediately after treatment there is some redness that fades over several minutes. Make up can be applied immediately. There is no downtime.
