Pellevé™ for Wrinkles at Baltimore Washington Eye Center serving greater Baltimore & Washington, D.C.

The Pellevé™ Wrinkle Reduction System, featured on the Dr. Oz show, is a safe and effective non-surgical way of achieving a more youthful look. Pellevé™ uses radiofrequency technology to gently heat the deep soft tissue under the skin and this allows for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. Using advanced radiowave technology, the body's own collagen is disrupted and stimulated to contract without causing any damage to the outer layers of the skin. The collagen breaks down and then the body is stimulated to form new, healthy collagen that is tighter than the original collagen; this leads to firmer, younger looking skin. Since the heat is absorbed by the deeper subdermal tissues, there is no damage to the skin and no resulting burns, blisters or peeling.

The procedure is relatively painless and many patients equate it to receiving a warm massage. No anesthetic is needed and there is no recovery time. Some patients experience some redness, but this resolves within 24 hours, often as quickly as 20 minutes, making this procedure ideal for patients who do not want a procedure that is going to interfere with their busy schedule. A full face procedure can take anywhere from 45-75 minutes and patients can apply makeup and return to normal activity immediately afterwards.

The Pellevé™ Wrinkle Reduction System is best suited for patients with mild-moderate wrinkles who are looking for a way to achieve firmer, tighter, more youthful looking skin without surgery. The results can last up to 6months with a single treatment; however studies have shown that a significant percentage of people still saw improvement one year after a single treatment. The recommended protocol is to have 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal correction. Pellevé™ also works well in combination with injectables such as neurotoxins and dermal fillers.
