What is Pelleve? (back to top)
Pelleve offers safe, non-invasive skin tightening rejuvenation with no need for a local anesthetic and minimal discomfort -- a significant evolution from previous-generation technologies in this class." said Rick Epstein, CEO of Ellman International, Inc.
How does Pelleve work? (back to top)
Pelleve uses the advanced radiowave technology of the Ellman International Surgitron(R) Dual RF(TM) S5 and a proprietary Pelleve hand-piece to precisely deliver energy through the skin to the dermal tissue beneath without damaging the epidermis. This gentle heating of the deeper dermal tissue induces collagen de-naturization and contraction. As the dermal tissue recovers, new collagen synthesis occurs, which creates a tightening effect.
What types of results can be expected? (back to top)
The result is a noticeable improvement in skin quality and skin tightening with minimal side effects and healing time for patients. It works well on the face, neck, jowls, arm and abdomen.
Where is Pelleve performed? (back to top)
The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting with no need for skin cooling products or anesthesia. The procedure takes an average of 15 to 20 minutes, depending on size of the area. More than 87% of patients showed measurable and immediate positive results in a blinded assessment of skin laxity and wrinkle improvement with continued response at six months after. Patients have greater improvement if two or three treatments are performed.
What is the recovery period time? (back to top)
Patients were typically able to return to work and social activities immediately after treatment. Of the study population, two patients experienced small abrasions that healed within three days. We have found that this new technology work better than the older technology devices that tighten skin.
