How Portrait Plasma differs from laser therapy for wrinkles in NYC

Portrait Plasma is a safe and gentle skin rejuvenation option, which we are proud to offer here at The New York Aesthetic Consultants, LLP. It can reduce the appearance of superficial wrinkles, skin laxity, pigmentation, and improve overall skin quality, using precisely delivered thermal energy. Unlike common laser treatments, it does not use light to heat the dermal tissues. Instead, it works with a unique energy source, known as plasma.

What is plasma energy?

In physics, all matter is said to be in one of four states, gaseous, solid, liquid, or plasma. A collection of ionized positive and negative particles comprises plasma, which is generally electrically neutral. Plasma may be thermal (heat producing) or non-thermal. This is a versatile, natural energy source, which is utilized for many applications ranging from lighting systems to medical treatment. The type of plasma used for skin rejuvenation is thermal, allowing for precision deep heating of tissue.

Advanced skin regeneration

The plasma skin regeneration procedure is safe, efficient, and comfortable. You will feel a gentle warming, which is not generally painful. A topical anesthetic can be applied prior to treatment, to ensure your comfort. This process triggers your body’s natural regenerative processes, repairing and renewing damaged cells. Following treatment, the surface layer of skin will slough off, and a fresh, new, healthier layer will appear. Due to the rapid remodeling and healing triggered by plasma therapy, the recovery is faster and more comfortable than that associated with many laser-resurfacing techniques.
