Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment Instructions

 

 

Bella Cosmedica custom aesthetics is excited to offer patients the new “Wrinkle Wand” therapy for skin tightening!  The “Wrinkle Wand” is actually a device more properly known as Pelleve (pronounced PELL-uh-vay) and employs the use of radio frequency to reduce the appearance of loose skin and wrinkling. 

 

The device delivers heat deep into skin tissues to stimulate collagen production.  This new collagen tends to be stronger than before, resulting in tighter skin with fewer wrinkles in as few as 2 or 3 treatments.  Patients continue to show improvement for up to six months afterward as collagen remodels.  The unique, wand-like handpiece allows practitioners precise targeting of problem areas such as drooping around the eyes and sagging jawlines.  


 

Patients find the one-hour treatments comfortable, and no anesthetic is required.  Unlike laser treatments which often require a brief recovery period and aftercare, Pelleve patients may return to normal activities and resume wearing cosmetics right away.  The Pelleve Wrinkle Reduction System precisely delivers energy to the dermal tissue using advanced radiowave technology to induce collagen contraction without damaging the epidermis. The result is noticable improvement in skin quality and appearance.

 

 

“But, what about the cost?”  We’re glad you asked!  Bella has seen Pelleve priced as much as $1300 per session.  We’re pleased to offer a limited number of 3-treatment packages for just $1850!

 

 

 

Pellevé is indicated for the non-ablative treatment of mild to moderate facial wrinkles for skin phototypes I-IV. Possible side effects of Pellevé are usually treatment-site related and include mild discomfort during the procedure localized within the treatment area. Mild swelling and redness may occur which typically go away within 2 to 24 hours.

 

How does Pelleve work?

  • Radio frequency surgical equipment emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by the surrounding tissue, creating a heated treatment zone
  • Increased resistance causes heat buildup at the subdermal junction
  • Heat induces collagen denaturization, followed by collagen contraction
  • Collagen breaks down
  • Protein stimulation causes new collagen formation and production in the dermis
  • Existing bands of collagen tighten in subcutaneous fat
  • Remodeling of collagen occurs in dermis and subcutaneous fat, creating a superficial tightening of the epidermis
