Overview

What is Pyramid Rejuvenation?

Pyramid Rejuvenation™ is a proprietary, non-surgical technique developed by Dr. Peter Lee at WAVE Plastic Surgery. It involves the precise placement of 5 to 9 syringes of dermal fillers across the face, strategically restoring volume where it has been lost with age. The goal is to reshape and rebalance facial contours, creating an “inverted pyramid” effect – fuller in the upper face, tapered toward the jawline. By focusing on both soft tissue and bone structure, this treatment provides a dramatic yet natural transformation, enhancing harmony without the need for surgery.

Often referred to as a “facelift alternative,” Pyramid Rejuvenation addresses multiple signs of aging, including sagging skin, hollow cheeks, fine lines, and facial asymmetry. Results are tailored to each patient through detailed facial anatomy analysis, ensuring improvements that complement natural features rather than alter them. Patients can expect visible lifting, smoother transitions between facial zones, and restored radiance that develops immediately and continues to refine over time.

How it Works

Pyramid Rejuvenation works by strategically placing multiple syringes of dermal filler to restore facial volume, symmetry, and lift—focusing on the upper and midface to recreate youthful proportions. By rebalancing structure at both the bone and soft tissue level, this non-surgical technique sculpts a natural “inverted triangle” shape for comprehensive, facial harmony—with minimal downtime.

What it Treats

Addresses wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and dull skin by combining resurfacing, tightening, and volumizing for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Procedure Time

A typical session lasts 60-90 minutes depending on treated areas. Multiple sessions are recommended for the best outcomes.

Eligibility

Ideal for adults with mild-to-moderate aging concerns who want non-surgical skin rejuvenation. Not recommended for pregnant women or active skin infections.

Recovery & Downtime

Mild redness or swelling lasts one to three days. Most patients resume normal activities quickly, with visible improvements developing over several weeks.

What to Expect Before, During, and After a Pyramid Rejuvenation

Before Pyramid Rejuvenation

Before treatment, your provider assesses skin type and goals. Pre-treatment instructions may include avoiding retinol, exfoliants, and sun exposure for one week.

During Pyramid Rejuvenation

Treatment involves energy-based devices applied across the skin to stimulate collagen, resurface texture, and tighten. Mild warmth or prickling sensations are common but tolerable.

After Pyramid Rejuvenation

Expect mild redness, sensitivity, or swelling for a few days. Makeup and normal activities can usually resume quickly. Results gradually improved over the first few weeks.

Potential Risks and Side Effects from a Pyramid Rejuvenation

Temporary redness or swelling

Mild redness, swelling, or warmth is common and typically resolves within a few days. Cold compresses and gentle skincare help reduce these effects.

Mild discomfort or sensitivity

Some patients feel tightness or sensitivity post-treatment. These sensations are temporary and usually fade within days.

Skin peeling or dryness

Mild peeling or dryness can occur as the skin renews. Moisturizers and hydration help manage this stage.
