FINE LINES

Pelleve laser

WHAT IS IT? “It’s a non-invasive solution to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without needles or surgery,” says Dr Abbas Al-taiff of Sydney’s Westmead Aesthetic Palace. “It uses radiofrequency technology to gently warm the skin deep beneath the surface, stimulating the body’s natural production of new collagen.” PAIN FACTOR “It feels similar to a hot-stone massage.” DOWNTIME “Each sessionon takes 30 to 60 minutes. Pelleve doesn’t require downtime. It may cause slight redness but this subsides soon afterwards.” RESULTS “Typically, one to three days post-procedure, the area treated will have a ‘post-treatment glow’, with an improvement in skin laxity and wrinkles. Pelleve is a gradual procedure, so it’s likely that best results will appear as the collagen rebuilds and new collagen is formed in the monthsm post-treatment.” COSTCO Around $350-$500.
