Portrait® Plasma Skin Regeneration

BREAKTHROUGH PLASMA TECHNOLOGY DELIVERS DRAMATIC SKIN REGENERATION WITH MINIMAL DOWNTIME

Plasma Is Raising Expectations in Cosmetic Dermatology

A brand new in-office treatment clinically proven to stimulate a natural regenerative process of the skin, Portrait® Plasma Skin Regeneration (Portrait®) represents a dramatic leap forward in the science of beauty - one that uniquely addresses the growing demand for cosmetic improvement with predictable downtime and little to no risk of hypopigmentation, scarring, discoloration, or other complications associated with other more aggressive anti-aging treatments.

Portrait® is the first technology to employ highly energized nitrogen gas known as plasma to produce a unique thermal profile. This energy works effectively at and below the skin's surface to stimulate remodeling of the skin's architecture, replacing old damaged collagen with significant amounts of new collagen - the key to quality, long-lasting improvement. While most treatments offer specific but limited results, Portrait® deals with multiple conditions simultaneously. More than three years of clinical testing have demonstrated unparalleled improvement in wrinkling, skin laxity, skin texture, acne scars*, pore size, and surface discoloration for up to a year - an advantage that distinguishes Portrait® from other cosmetic treatments.

The Power of Plasma:

Developed by Rhytec, "Portrait® is unlike any technology used in cosmetic dermatology," reports Richard E. Fitzpatrick, MD, an Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at UCSD School of Medicine and one of the clinical investigators of Portrait®. "Allowing the preserved outer layers to act as a protective dressing until new skin regenerates produces much faster healing and minimizes the risk of complications," explains Dr. Fitzpatrick. Indeed, not a single incidence of scarring or lasting pigmentary change occurred in more than 500 clinical study treatments. "We've found it to be quite safe," he notes. Regardless of the treatment protocol used, significant improvements in overall complexion, texture, and tightening are experienced almost right away. "Patients uniformly comment on how much softer and smoother skin feels and how evenly pigmented it is," says Dr. Fitzpatrick. And those initial improvements become even more dramatic over time as the new skin architecture progressively replaces the old.

Portrait® PSR3 is FDA-cleared for treatment of wrinkles; the superficial skin lesions common on sun-exposed areas; and actinic keratosis, the dry, scaly patches that result from overexposure to the sun.
