Pain-Free Skin Tightening

Pellevé™ Skin Tightening System

Pellevé™ is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure to safely treat facial wrinkles with virtually no pain and little downtime. Using advanced radiowave technology, the Pellevé™ system precisely heats the deep layers of the skin without damaging the epidermis, or top layer. The heat causes the collagen in the skin to contract and tighten. After treatment, the skin begins to produce new collagen, which improves skin firmness. The result is a naturally refreshed appearance.

Unlike other skin tightening systems, Pellevé™ doesn’t require anesthesia or skin cooling. Patients can expect to feel a deep warming sensation each time the handpiece touches the area being treated. Because the skin is not numb, the patient can describe the depth of the feeling to the doctor, which helps to ensure the best possible results. They can also return to home or work immediately. Side effects may include mild discomfort during the procedure within the treatment area. Mild swelling and redness may also occur and typically go away within 2 to 24 hours after treatment.

Pellevé™ can be used to treat the skin on the face, including the eye area. Many people start to see results after just one treatment, with lasting improvement in skin tightness and tone for up to six months. Because a full facial treatment takes only about an hour with little, if any, recovery time, Pellevé™ fits easily into busy schedules. For the best results, it’s important to choose a doctor who is experienced in administering Pellevé™.


LuxDeepIR Fractional™ Infrared Skin Tightening

The Palomar LuxDeepIR™ Fractional™ hand piece delivers infrared light into the skin in an array of small regularly spaced beams, with depth of treatment ranging from 1 to 6 mm into the deep dermis. This fractional heating creates a lattice of treated islets, with each islet surrounded by unaffected tissue. These columns of heat penetrate deep into the dermal layer where it creates a carefully controlled area of elevated temperature.

This technology has shown to trigger a biological response which leads to collagen remodeling in the deep dermis. Remodeled collagen can smooth out fine wrinkles and tighten sagging skin. Deep heating with infrared light stimulates increased collagen production,creating long term results.

This new technology allows the procedure to be faster, safer and painless which is a great improvement over other competing technologies. A series of two to three treatments is required for optimal results as time is needed between treatments to allow for tissue healing. Results are typically seen in 1-6 months.
