Cynosure has its finger on the pulse of the industry with RF technology, Pellevé.
Pellevé, by Cynosure, is a non-invasive wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation treatment using radiofrequency (RF) energy to create heated treatment zones to induce collagen contraction. The result is smoother skin with noticeable wrinkle reduction and visible improvement in skin quality, with no damage to the epidermis.
The RF energy reaches dermal tissue through a selection of GlideSafe handpieces. These handpieces deliver precise treatment to all areas of the face, including the delicate areas around the eyes. Compact and manoeuvrable, they easily glide over varied contours, allowing customisable treatments.
In a clinical study, patients noticed tighter skin and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles along with noticeable improvement in skin quality and appearance. Patients were able to return to their daily routine immediately.
“Most patients enjoy an immediate skin revitalisation effect,” says Gold Coast cosmetic doctor Dr Pearl Fitzgerald. “Gentle, heat-induced swelling appears as firmer looking skin for up to five days post-treatment,” she says. “Optimal longer term results are achieved through full collagen regeneration as the skin repairs itself over the following one to three months.”
“Pellevé has immediate results in some patients, but I find that by conducting a series of four to six Pellevé treatments, optimal results are achieved.”
The Pellevé difference
Pellevé offers a very effective skin tightening treatment for individuals who are against surgical means or are not candidates for surgical skin tightening procedures. A Pellevé treatment is also very comfortable for the patient in comparison to most RF treatments.
“A lot of people are happy with the functionality of Pellevé, as it is very flexible and customisable to each patient. It is also a procedure that is easily explainable and resonates with our patients,” says Dr Fitzgerald.
“Not only does it target a large range of skin issues such as sun damage, lines and wrinkles but it aldoes not require downtime. No surgery, noticeable results and no downtime are key to its success.”
Why you should invest in Pelleve
Doctors, nurses and aestheticians can all administer treatments with Pellevé, meaning the system can be easily incorporated in-clinic and used around the clock. With effective age-erasing results, the low capital investment and low operating costs means rapid ROI.
Additionally, the Pellevé system offers an array of treatments beyond skin tightening, meaning the addition of new services to a practice and multiple revenue streams for the operator.
The treatment stands out because clients love the non- invasive nature of the procedure, along with the immediate skin revitalisation and gradual skin tightening over two to three months as new collagen forms, resulting in thicker, plumper skin. These types of noticeable results have clients coming back for more.
“It’s a growing market, and there are many people looking for non-surgical skin tightening or lifting,” says Dr Fitzgerald.
Key benefits of radiofrequency
• Tissue retraction for immediate tightening
• New collagen formation for plumper, firmer skin
• Improved circulation for greater toxin clearance to reduce signs and effects of ageing
Cynosure runs regular Pellevé workshops for doctors wanting to evaluate the system and learn from current users. For details contact Cynosure on 1300 CYNOSURE (2966 7873) or email infoaustralia@cynosure.com
