Pellevé
What It Is
Pellevé is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that heats deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. The procedure uses controlled RF energy delivered through a handheld device to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes and involve no incisions or injections.
Good Candidates
Pellevé suits people with mild to moderate skin laxity or wrinkles who prefer a non-surgical option. It works best on lighter to medium skin tones. A qualified provider can assess your skin type and concerns to determine if Pellevé is appropriate for your goals.
What to Expect
The skin is cleansed and a conductive gel is applied to the treatment area. The handheld RF device is moved across the skin in overlapping passes, delivering controlled heat. Most people report a warm sensation and mild discomfort, but no anesthesia is needed. The treatment is often described as tolerable and requires no downtime.
Results and Longevity
Skin tightening and texture improvement typically develop gradually over several weeks as collagen remodels. Initial improvements may be visible after one session, though a series of treatments often produces better results. Effects last several months to a year, and maintenance sessions can extend benefits.
