I read the mostly positive reviews on Pelleve and decided to have the treatment on my face and neck. I was surprised when the highly recommended aesthetician placed the wand beneath my eyebrows to treat the skin between my eyebrows and eyes. It was extremely hot and painful. She told me that the more I tolerated it, the better the result. The next day, I was extremely distressed to find that that skin had "bagged out" and the skin was lying on my eyelids. This has not improved and I now need surgery to correct it. I also noticed some lines below my eyes that I hadn't seen since I had a fat transfer in that area. So terribly disappointed.

did she monitor the temperature? As long as the temperature is monitored frequently, no fat loss should occur. The amount of pain that you describe tells me the machine may have been turned too high. Mine felt like a hot stone massage and was never painful. definitely no fat loss if done appropriately

I think it also depends on the age of the patient. I think a lot of younger women (40s) seem to be very happy with Pelleve and older women (60+) have the issues described by xxtmp11. I think maybe it is not so great on thinner, more sensitive mature skin.
