Pelleve
Introducing PellevéTM!
PellevéTM is the newest FDA-approved skin tightening procedure to safely and effectively treat facial wrinkles without surgery. 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.
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 Dr. Day and her associates, which helps to ensure the best possible results. They can also return to home or work immediately – there is no downtime after the PellevéTM treatment. Side effects may include mild discomfort during the procedure within the area that was treated. Mild swelling and redness may also occur, which typically go away within 3 to 5 days but can last up to several weeks.
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, though Dr. Day and her associates recommend a series of treatments for long-lasting results. Because a full facial treatment takes only about an hour with little, if any, recovery time, Pellevé fits easily into busy schedules.
Please call the office at 212-772-0740 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Doris Day and find out if PellevéTM is the right treatment for you.
