I had Pelleve on cheek areas.
There was no tightening at all or any results visible after the treatment.
I was told the usual line of "collagen will reform itself after 6 weeks"etc...
Well,months later there's still no results.
This treatment is ineffective and save your money for something that works.
Please don't be fooled by positive reviews or filled by people saying you have to have many treatments of this and wait many months for results.
There are no results.
Ask people who give good reviews for before and after photos as only by seeing photos can you be confident that they arn't just having "wishful thinking" that it worked.

The procedure itself didn't hurt.
It was just like a hot rocks face massage almost although it only went for a short period of time.
I did feel my face getting hot and it was a. It red afterwards but no swelling.
If anything,the operator actually made my face flatten and sag MORE because she was pressing down to heavily with the tip.
When I tried to ask her to be ligher and explained my concerns of further sagging,she dismissed that as not possible.
Yeah right:(

I had second degree burns and after three years my temples are still very sensitive to touch and any skin products. I would not advise anyone to have this procedure. Mine was done in Punta Gorda, Florida. Susan Bennett

I agree with everything you have said. My treatment was done in Punta Gorda, Florida by a doctor who is suppose to be the best and was even on Dr. Oz. I had second degree burns on both temples and after three years the skin is still rough and very sensitive to any heat. It was a disaster.

Sorry to hear you have second degree burns-that's awful.
It sounds like the doctor was too aggressive and didn't ask you for feedback on how it felt on your face when he was doing the treatment.
Have you considered seeing a burns clinic or dermatologist regarding the burns?

Oh my goodness so sorry you had a bad experience. I have had one treatment and I'm very pleased

Pelleve must be performed 4 times before you see a lot of difference. The person performing the procedure should have told you that. The first treatment takes out skin tension in a vertical dimension. The subsequent treatments begin to take out laxity in the horizontal direction which is the direction that helps smooth out wrinkles. Hope that helps!

Sheila S Nazarian-your dermal filler etc results on your website are good,you have a good aesthetic eye:)
Rearding Pelleve-it may remove wrinkles and "skin tension" however it does not tighten skin at all which is what I was told it would do/what my issue was.
To anyone who is considering the treatment for sagging/skin tightening,ask to see before and after photos before wasting large amounts of money on this.
Regardless of who says it is effective-doctors or otherwise-ask to see photos that way you can see results for yourself whether it actually is effective or not.

I'm sorry you didn't see any results- that is always frustrating. Are you thinking of trying something different?
I totally know what you mean as far as spending money on something that may or may not work. Here is our Refirme community where you can see how it went for other people:

Yeah that is a tough call- it would be a shame to spend more money and not see good results. You might want to consider something more invasive to ensure an actual change.
