Pelleve for slight upper eyelid sagging? (Photo)

Pelleve' really does work wonders for upper eyelid sagging.  However, there are several factors that come into play.  The severity of the sagging and the elasticity of the skin plays a factor but if done correctly should see some improvement after treatment. The upper eyelid should be pulled up a little during the treatment to get as much eyelid as possible.  The right temperature must be attained and then a series of passes.  I always do one eyelid and then show patient the result before I move on to the next eyelid.  they are usually amazed by the outcome.

pelleve can work great for tightening the skin of the upper and lower eyelids, however it does take some time, and i would never suggest that you would see improvements is several weeks - the reason is that it is collagen induction therapy - meaning the collagen production is revved up and that ultimately leads to the tightening effect - and that takes months. 
i do agree that $550 for just the eyes seem a little steep...
good luck!

Dr. Ebrahim recommends Pelleve for eye lid sagging.  Virtually painless feels like a nice warm massage.  Requires a series of 3 – 4 treatments depending on your age.  No bruising or swelling with very little downtime.  After the initial series of treatments – Dr. Ebrahim recommends twice a year to maintain results.   

No reason Pelleve should cost you $550 for upper eyes; charge at our office for FULL FACE 3 treatments is $1000; 5-treatment series (for persons with significant aging) is $1500. Single treatment full face is $400. For persons who only wish an isolated area (like around eyes), we work out a lower fee.  That said, you should have a "series" for full effect, but if performed properly, you should get an idea about success the next day, although it tales a series for long-lasting results. If the next day you do not see the results you expect (remember- Pelleve is subtle: it is not an "eye-job"), you probable should quit.Regards,Michael P Goodman MD
