Pelleve
Put a Fresh Face Forward
Pellevé precisely heats the deep layers of your skin using advanced radiofrequency energy without damaging the epidermis, or top layer. The heat causes the existing collagen in your skin to contract and tighten*. Also after the treatment, your skin will start to produce new collagen. The result is an improvement in skin tightness and wrinkles you can see and feel.

How does it work?
The Pellevé system uses radiofrequency technology to gently warm the skin deep beneath the surface, which over time, stimulates the body’s natural production of new collagen. 30, 60, 90 days after treatment your body is still working to naturally grow new collagen. Because Pellevé triggers your body’s natural reaction to rebuild collagen weeks after the procedure, a series of treatments will give you optimal results!
What can I expect?
Pellevé is a comfortable, safe procedure that doesn’t require any downtime. Patients have reported that it feels similar to a relaxing hot stone massage. You might have slight redness after the procedure which is caused by your skin’s elevated temperatures during the treatment, and will subside soon after the procedure. You will be able to return to your normal day-to-day activities immediately afterwards.
How long does the treatment take?
Treating the entire face takes anywhere from 45–60 min. If you would like a specific area treated (e.g., the delicate areas around your eyes, forehead, or smile lines) your procedure could be completed in as little as 30 minutes! Because the collagen rebuilding process continues to work days, weeks, even months after your treatment, a series of treatments are required for the best results. Please discuss with your provider the best plan specific for your goals!
Is Pelleve right for me?
Pellevé is ideal for men and women with all skin phototypes. Unlike most laser treatments, Pellevé is gentle on the skin and is safe to use all year round, regardless of tan skin. Please discuss with your provider to determine if Pellevé is right for you.
How many treatments are recommended?
3–5 treatments are recommended about 4 weeks apart to boost the collagen rebuilding process. For optimal results, please work with your provider to develop a treatment plan designed specifically for you.
