Produced in the skin's middle layer (epidermis), collagen is an important building component of many body structures such as our nails, hair, connective tissues and, of course, our skin. Whenever there is a decline in collagen production, signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, become more prominent. This is due to the fact that collagen is the substance responsible for keeping the skin firm and elastic.
A wide variety of procedures and treatments which stimulate the development of collagen are available in the health and beauty field. These, however, usually involve long recovery periods, needles and painful surgeries. Pelleve wrinkle treatment, a new, non-ablative procedure, changes all that, getting rid of all the hassles of removing wrinkles.
A clinically-proven safe method, Pelleve wrinkle treatment improves the skin's texture and tone. Precise treatment of the patient's problem areas is allowed by the dome-shaped apparatus used to apply the radiowave technology which tightens the skin. A cooling contact gel is applied on the area to be treated to ensure the comfort of the patient during the procedure.
Age-related skin problems, like sagging skin, can be remedied by Pelleve, as seen on "The Doctors". The production of new collagen is stimulated by the slow heating of the skin's deeper layers thus softening the wrinkles. Immediately delivering visible results, the said procedure is proven to be effective with almost no side effects. Pelleve has been approved by the United States' Food and Drug Administration.
The Pelleve wrinkle treatment is for anyone who wants to get rid of their wrinkles. It works best with mild and moderate facial wrinkling. Commonly targeted are laugh lines (the stretch between the nose and the corners of the mouth) and crow's feet (corners of the eyelids). Lasting from forty-five minutes to an hour, the whole procedure does not involve any incisions or anesthesia.
Which is better? Pelleve vs BotoxThe use of purified botulinum toxin has long been proven to be one of the most effective wrinkle-flattening procedures. Similar to Pelleve, Botox is most commonly used to get rid of laugh lines and forehead wrinkles.
Botox is one of the many injectable dermal fillers used by different cosmetic surgeons in the field to reduce or, at least, minimize the visibility of wrinkles. Injectable dermal fillers are either placed or injected into the skin's first layer, the dermis. Aside from Botox, other well-known fillers are Restylane, Perlane and Artecoll. fmcx20130119
Reducing the appearance of wrinkles is the aim of both Pelleve and Botox. Unlike Botox, Pelleve does not use any injectable products; it uses radiowave technology instead to treat wrinkles. Probably the most notable difference between the two treatments is the severity of their side effects.
Pelleve wrinkle treatment only has one side effect, mild puffiness. It rarely occurs, and if it does, it only lasts two days at most. Botox, on the other hand, may sometimes also weaken muscles in non-targeted areas, not to mention that it commonly brings about headaches, bruising and pain.
