What to expect: The procedure for Portrait Plasma facial rejuvenation in NYC

<?php echo $pk; ?> - Sample image for Portrait Plasma treatment Portrait Plasma is a unique skin rejuvenation technique. Like many other skin treatments, it works on the principle of thermal energy (heat). However, rather than lasers, ultrasound, or radiofrequency, the Portrait system used plasma energy to target and heat select skin layers. The procedure is gentle, comfortable, and convenient.

Consultation

The procedure begins with a physician consultation. After an examination and review of your medical history, your doctor will determine if you are a good candidate. If not, alternative treatments will be suggested. Fortunately, Portrait Plasma is gentle and safe for most patients.

If you choose Portrait Plasma treatment, the doctor will discuss the process, results, and any potential risks. Very similar results can be achieved with a single session using a high energy level, or multiple sessions at lower levels. Your doctor will explain the advantages of each method, and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. Additional procedures may be recommended to address all of your aesthetic concerns. You are encouraged to ask questions and voice any concerns that you may have. Informed decisions and realistic expectations are the keys to success and patient satisfaction.

The procedure

We begin by numbing the area for your comfort. Plasma energy is applied to the skin surface via a specially designed hand-piece. The length of the treatment session, potential for discomfort, and recovery time will vary, depending on the intensity of treatment.

  • Low-level treatments typically take about 15 minutes if the entire face is treated. Patients may experience mild redness, which should subside within a few days. A series of sessions is usually scheduled approximately three weeks apart.
  • High-level treatments usually take about 45 minutes if the entire face is treated. Skin may appear blotchy, with red or brown spots and possibly flaking. Healing typically takes ten to twelve days, and optimal results are achieved from a single session.
Portrait Plasma treatment can improve fine lines, pigmentation, and signs of photo aging. Most patients notice some immediate improvement when healing is complete, and the results continue developing for several months, up to a year, due to collagen stimulation. Studies have shown that improvement can last for over a year.
