Is Pelleve good for skin with minimal issues? What is the downtime?

Hi Tyluga,
Pelleve uses radiofrequency energy to evenly heat the subcutaneous tissue to stimulate collagen production. It is not a laser. There is no downtime. The treated area is a little red and slightly swollen (in a good way) for a few hours after the procedure. It then takes 4 to 8 weeks to see results as collagen is stimulated. It is recommended that patients have a series of three treatments for optimal results. A maintenance treatment every one to two years after that will help the battle against aging. It would likely help to keep your nice skin smooth. Another technology that gives similar results is Accent XL.
Good luck and be well.

Pelleve is not designed to help wrinkles, but to help tighten the skin from below. So if you have no wrinkles, but want a tighter jawline  or some improvement in facial sagging including eyebrows or lower eyelids, Pelleve radiofrequency treatment may help. In my practice I evaluate all interested patients in a consulation to determine if they are a candidate.Younger patients who just start to notice sagging (mid to late thirties to forties) have a better chance of seeing improvement with this non-invasive treatment than an elderly person with bad skin texture from severe sun damage.]The information provided in Dr. Shelton's
