How Pellevé Works

Pellevé precisely targets the subdermal junction

The Pellevé 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 noticeable improvement in skin quality and appearance.

How Pellevé works at the cellular level


  • 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

Important Safety Information

Pellevé is indicated for the cosmetic correction of mildĀ 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.
