Portrait® PSR3 Skin Regeneration - page 1

<<back to before & after main menu

Clinically proven to stimulate a natural regenerative process of the skin, Portrait delivers millisecond pulses of nitrogen plasma to the skin's surface. This technology offers unparalleled improvement in the appearance of aging and damaged skin, but with predictable downtime and little to no risk of hypopigmentation, scarring, discoloration, or other complications associated with other more-aggressive treatments.

Below, you'll find before and after photos of our patients who have experienced Portrait at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery. For further information about Portrait, including a downloadable brochure, frequently asked questions, and helpful links, please visit our About Portrait page.

Dr. Yamini wrote an article titled "What's the Skinny on Plasma Resurfacing?
Physicians are looking for new resurfacing alternatives that are as effective as ablative lasers but with fewer shortcomings" that was published in the December 2007 issue of Plastic Surgery Products Magazine. You can read the article online using the link above or download a PDF version.

Typical Recovery Time: At lower levels of treatment there will be some mild redness and flaking of the skin. At higher levels, the outer layer of skin browns and flakes off 3 to 5 days after treatment.

Once this occurs, the redness of the regenerated skin will last for 2-3 days. Shedding may take a little longer at the edges of the treated area. Localized redness may also linger slightly in some patients. On darker skin, the localized redness may appear as a darker spot that lightens over time.
