The Portrait Plasma laser is approved for the treatment of wrinkles of the face and for the treatment of facial and non-facial areas for skin lesions, actinic keratosis, seborrhoeic keratosis and viral papillomata. Portrait Plasma uses nitrogen plasma (a highly energized gas) energy to treat at and below the surface of the skin improve the skin’s structure and generate new collagen in the skin. During the procedure, the skin’s outer layers remain intact and act as a protective cover until new skin regenerates. Afterwards, the old skin peels away, removing all the signs of years of exposure to the sun, including brown sun spots and actinic keratoses, fine lines and deep wrinkles. In addition, Portrait Plasma can dramatically improve cosmetic effects on skin tone, texture and laxity. All of these conditions are treated simultaneously — a unique and significant advantage that distinguishes Portrait Plasma from other laser skin treatments.
Downtime is minimal and clinical studies show that the improvements you see following your treatment will become even more dramatic over time. Portrait is safe, effective and it’s results are comparable to aggressive laser resurfacing, but the downtime of the procedure is dramatically less than other resurfacing methods. It will keep stimulating collagen production and increasing elastin for up to one year and thus create continued improvement to the skin. Portrait plasma is designed to improve skin tone, skin texture and reverse the signs of aging, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, brown spots, and other effects of sun damage. Portrait is also used for treating fine lines around the eyes and mouth.
