What is Pelleve?
Pelleve is a new type of wrinkle treatment available
through skin care professionals. This non-invasive procedure is often used to
tighten sagging skin, a common problem that comes with natural aging. Pelleve
delivers quick results and is rarely accompanied by side effects or other
complications. Not only is Pelleve effective and easy to use, it is one of few
wrinkle treatment systems approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Why
Pelleve?
There are many changes that come with aging, but one of
the most feared is wrinkling skin. Fortunately, today there are wonderful
treatments such as Pelleve available for those who suffer self-esteem losses
that come with aging skin. Pelleve is a non-invasive skin treatment that
visibly tightens and smooths the face.
How
does Pelleve work?
Pelleve uses new and advanced radiowave technology to
heat the deepest layers of skin without causing any of the skin damage
associated with sunburns and skin cancer. There is no anesthesia needed,
because there will be no pain felt during the non invasive procedure. A
special Pelleve hand piece will be used on the wrinkled skin. Every time this
Pelleve hand piece is used, a warming sensation will be felt. Once heated, the
collagen in the deepest skin layer contracts, forcing new collagen to be
formed after the treatment. This newer collagen quickly creates a smoother
appearance in the uppermost layer of skin. The entire Pelleve treatment takes
between 45 minutes and an hour. This short time is possible because a Pelleve
treatment does not involve any incisions or anesthesia, which are usually the
most time consuming aspects of procedures.
On what part of the body is
Pelleve used?
Pelleve procedure is used to treat facial skin. Most
patients request the procedure be targeted at the wrinkles formed at the
corners of the eyelids, otherwise known as "Crow's Feet." Pelleve also is very
effective in treating the wrinkles that stretch between the nose and the
corners of one's mouth, commonly referred to as "smile lines" or "laugh lines."
Who
is a candidate for Pelleve?
Candidates for Pelleve are healthy women and men,
usually middle aged and older. Most Pelleve candidates have fine lines on the
face, or wrinkled or drooping skin. Pelleve is most appropriate for those with
mild to moderate wrinkling.
What are the results of the
procedure?
The results include smoother skin, elimination or
reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and the tightening of sagging skin.
These results typically last a minimum of six months, much longer than many
competing skin treatments.
What
are the benefits of choosing Pelleve over similar treatments?
The main advantage of Pelleve is the fact that its
results last a full six months. Also, the treatment is quick and painless, and
the results appear immediately. Finally, as an FDA approved procedure, Pelleve
is a safe option for those desiring a more youthful appearance.
