FAQs - Aluma Skin Renewal System
Can anyone have Pellevé™ treatments?
Pellevé™ is suitable for anyone who has lines and wrinkles or loose and sagging skin, however due to the action of the radio waves, patients with pacemakers cannot have treatment . Also, patients who have dermal filer injections are better waiting at least 2 months before having Pellevé™ treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
This will depend on your skin condition and your age but generally we recommend a course of 2 -3 treatments.
How long is each treatment?
Your Pellevé™ procedure will typically take about 45 to 60 minutes for a full facial treatment and because Pellevé™ doesn’t require anesthesia or downtime, it fits easily into your busy schedule.
How does it feel?
You will feel a deep warming sensation each time the Pellevé™ handpiece touches the area being treated. Because no anaesthetic is required, you’ll be able to describe the depth of the feeling to your doctor, which will help to ensure the best possible results.
What happens after treatment?
Most patients are a little flushed immediately after treatment however this typically disappears an hour or so post treatment.
You can apply make-up and return to your normal activities straightaway. In rare cases, possible side effects of Pellevé™ include mild swelling and redness which typically go away within 2 to 24 hours.
What can I expect to see after treatment?
Many people start to see results immediately after just one Pellevé™ treatment, with lasting improvement over the months that follow. We recommend a course of 2-3 treatments to really deliver visible longer lasting results.
