Skin Tightening
The Pelleve’ Skin Tightening System is a revolutionary innovation for smoother, tighter skin. With Pelleve’, you can look and feel refreshed, naturally, with immediate and lasting improvement.
If you’re wondering how you can refresh your appearance without surgery, the Pelleve’ Wrinkle Reduction System may be right for you. The Pelleve’ System safely and effectively treats facial wrinkles with virtually no pain and no downtime. In fact, patients who have had a Pelleve’ treatment say it feels like a warm facial massage. The Pelleve’ treatment is performed at A Medical Spa at Rizzier, under the supervision of Dr. Donna Wilcox, by our estheticians, specifically trained and certified to deliver the Pelleve system.
Skin Tightening – The Science behind the Pelleve’ System
Pelleve’ precisely delivers energy to the dermal (deep) tissue using advanced radio-frequency technology to induce collagen contraction without damaging the epidermis (surface). This collagen and protein stimulation causes new collagen formation deep in the dermal layers, while existing bands of collagen tighten in subcutaneous fat, creating surface tightening in the epidermis.
The Pelleve’ System offers a different type of experience; a pleasant and more natural one, with results you can feel good about.
Pelleve’ can be used to treat the following:
- Sagging skin under the chin
- Nasaolabial folds
- Wrinkles around the mouth
- Lines or folds between the eyebrows
- Lines on the forehead
- Excess skin on the upper eyelid
- Crow’s feet
- Tired or unhappy expression

Depending on which areas you are having done, it usually takes from 20 minutes for just the eye area up to 60 minutes for a full face treatment.
What can I expect after a treatment?
There is no recovery time needed after a Pelleve’ treatment. You may be slightly pink with mild swelling for a few hours. You can wear makeup right away and resume normal activities, so it fits easily into a busy schedule.
