When most people think of skin resurfacing, they may imagine a harsh procedure, like the old CO2 laser of years past that required a much longer period of recovery than the newer lasers preferred by physicians today.
Portrait® plasma skin resurfacing is an FDA-cleared device that offers breakthrough plasma energy technology. It is not a laser, radio-frequency device, or light-based treatment. Rather, plasma is a highly energized gas, which produces heat that works both on and below the surface of the skin to modify the skin’s architecture by removing bad elastin and generating new collagen.
This plasma-containing energy consists of pulses of nitrogen-based plasma directed out of the hand piece and onto the skin. This energy produces a heating action that works at the skin’s surface to remove old sun-damaged skin and promote collagen growth.
Results are seen within seven days and can last indefinitely. Plasma skin resurfacing will restore your facial skin to feel smooth while giving you a more youthful appearance.
Plasma skin resurfacing is effective in reducing the look of:
- Deep wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Sun-damaged skin
- Blotchiness
- Brown spots
- Acne scars
- Benign skin lesions / actinic keratoses
Benefits of Plasma Skin Resurfacing
- Patients naturally regenerate their own healthier skin following treatment
- Treatment is comparable to laser resurfacing
- Quicker recovery
- Dramatic improvements
- Long-lasting, proven results
