What Is the Pellevé™ Wrinkle Reduction System?
The Pellevé™ Wrinkle Reduction System is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. It is a technology that emits radiofrequency (RF) energy that will heat the deeper layers of the skin and thus stimulate the production of collagen. The treatment also tightens the skin so it will look firmer and more youthful.
The Pellevé™ Wrinkle Reduction System can be used anywhere on the face. Since melanin does not absorb radiofrequency energy, Pellevé™ can be safely used on any skin tone. The effects can last for over six months.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, scars, discolorations, and other blemishes. It is an outpatient procedure that generally takes about an hour.
The aesthetician will use a special handpiece that will spray crystal on the client’s skin and thus remove dead skin cells. At the same time, the handpiece will produce a suction that will remove the crystals, skin cells, and any other debris.
