Minimize Wrinkles with Pelleve in Memphis, TN

We offer Pelleve in Memphis, TN, to help you maintain youthful skin. This skin tightening treatment uses radio frequency technology to heat the deep layers of the skin, which helps stimulate the natural regeneration of your own collagen. No anesthesia or injections are used during the procedure.

Q: How does Pelleve work?
A: Specialized handpieces are used to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin without ablating the surface. The heat generated by radio waves helps break down collagen in the dermal layer of the skin. The body responds by growing new collagen, which helps soften lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin.

Q: Does the procedure hurt?
A: No. This wrinkle reduction treatment is virtually painless. Most patients report the treatment feels like a hot stone massage

Q: Am I a candidate for Pelleve?
A: We recommend Pelleve for all skin types with mild to moderate facial wrinkles who would like to revitalize their skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful look. Tell your clinician if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator implant, or auto-immune disease, as the Pelleve procedure may not be right for you.

Q: How many treatments are needed?
A: Some patients report visible results with as little as one treatment. For the best results, we recommend a series of monthly treatments with yearly touch-ups. Your physician or aesthetician can recommend the right number of treatments for you.

Q: How should I prepare for the treatments?
A: Avoid acne medication and retinol on the treatment area for at least a week before the procedure. Please come well-hydrated and remove all makeup prior to your appointments.

Q: When can I return to normal activities?
A: You may reapply makeup and return to normal activities immediately following treatment. Although there is no restriction to sunlight exposure, we advise using broad-spectrum SPF daily.

Q: When will I see results?
A: You may see temporary results for up to 24 hours resulting from the elevation of skin temperature. However, the process of regenerating collagen takes time. Therefore, results will continue to improve over the next several months. Since the effects are gradual, we recommend comparisons with pre-treatment photographs to demonstrate the results.
