What Can I Expect from Pellevé Treatments?

During your Pellevé® appointment, your dermatology provider will begin by cleansing the treatment area to ensure your skin is free of any oils or residue. A conductive gel may be applied to help the device glide smoothly over your skin. The Pellevé® device will then be used to deliver radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas. You’ll likely feel a gentle warming sensation as the heat penetrates deep into the skin, promoting tissue ablation.

The treatment is typically very comfortable, with most patients comparing it to a relaxing, warm massage. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the session can last between 30 to 60 minutes. Once the treatment is complete, you may notice some mild redness or slight swelling, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the appointment, with no need for recovery time. Your dermatology provider will give you post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best results.

What Is the Pellevé Treatment Like?

During a Pellevé® treatment, your dermatology provider will apply a handheld device to your skin that delivers radiofrequency energy. This energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin, targeting unwanted tissue for ablation. The process is quick, and most sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area. You can expect to feel a warm sensation as the energy is delivered, but the procedure is generally comfortable and requires no anesthesia.

Does the Pellevé Treatment Hurt?

Most patients report little to no pain during Pellevé® treatments. The sensation is often described as a warming or gentle heating on the skin. Since there is no need for numbing agents, the treatment is well-tolerated. Any mild discomfort is typically brief and resolves quickly after the session.
