Skin Tightening is a non-surgical way to help erase aging signs from the face and neck. Lead by Dr. Joseph Mardanzai, Prestige Med practices Aesthetic Medicine in San Ramon, San Jose, and San Juan Capistrano, CA, with a staff with extensive experience in rejuvenating the skin through tightening.
Skin tightening is a non-invasive way to tighten up skin that has become less elastic and smooth over time. While it is completely normal for skin to become less tight as the years go by, the availability of skin tightening with the Pelleve System helps patients achieve a more youthful and natural look.
The skin tightening treatment generally takes less than an hour. It is done right in the doctor's office, and no invasive treatments are needed.
Many patients characterize the Pelleve System skin tightening treatment as feeling like a warm massage on the face. It is not unpleasant or painful, but rather delivers a sensation of warmth.
People who are unhappy with wrinkles around their eyes, folds in their face, and other effects of aging may be good candidates for skin tightening using the Pelleve System. Patients can expect beautiful results, but they do need to remember that this procedure is not surgery and will not have the same dramatic result that a facelift will. Skin tightening will provide a subtle but very beautiful change to the appearance of the face overall.
The treatment will show results right away. The skin will look younger, more refreshed, and less lined.
The Pelleve skin tightening system uses radiofrequency energy to bring about a gradual and natural tightening of the skin. The radiofrequency energy is delivered deep within the skin, which causes a buildup of heat in the area where the fat and skin come together. This process alters the bundles of collagen that are hidden deep inside the skin. Over time, this results in the stimulation of brand new collagen. Collagen and elastin are responsible for skin fullness and elasticity, so this creates a much more youthful look overall.

During a chemical peel, the solution is applied to the skin and eventually “blisters.” It is then peeled off, leaving the patient with softer and cleaner skin. Patients should avoid contact with direct sunlight following treatment. Prestige Med offers a majority of the different chemical peels available, including Obagi, Skinceuticals, and several others.
