What is portrait plasma resurfacing for NYC patients?

Rejuvenating the face and improving the skin's surface may seem like a daunting task, but the team at The New York Aesthetic Consultants has found that patients can improve the way they look with Portrait Plasma resurfacing. NYC dermatologist, Dr. Shelton, offers this treatment to patients who want to renew their appearance and turn back the hands of time.

This treatment was discovered by a surgeon who found the treatment to rejuvenate the skin around wounds. This makes Portrait Plasma a perfect treatment for patients dealing with scarring on the body, such as acne scars and trauma scars. It can also be used on precancerous lesions, and it can rejuvenate all areas of the face.

Portrait Plasma resurfaces the skin by using plasma energy which is liberated by passing radiofrequency energy through nitrogen gas. This energy is delivered deep into the dermis of the skin and new collagen is generated along with new skin cells. The growth of collagen and reepithelialization helps provide beautiful, healthy skin cells and a wonderful texture and smoothing of the skin. As patients age, they begin to lose collagen in their body, and this collagen production should be stimulated regularly to maintain a youthful appearance.

One treatment can provide amazing results. The most aggressive settings used in Portrait Plasma patients may experience approximately seven days of downtime, rarely more, in which the skin will peel and bring forth younger-looking skin cells from underneath. Patients will experience a tightening and firming effect on the skin, and see drastic improvements in the quality of their skin as well. It's like having fresh new skin on the face and experiencing a reversal in the signs of aging!

Portrait Plasma is often done for areas of the face such as mouth, forehead, eyes, etc. and is unlike traditional laser resurfacing treatments. Laser is an ablative treatment. Portrait Plasma gets deep into the skin, down to the dermis, to create heat and stimulate the growth of new cells, keeping the skin on top intact. Portrait is ablative but the epidermis is retained intact for the first day thereby keeping the patient more comfortable and allowing for better and quicker healing. Patients see continued results over time as their skin continues to improve. Dr. Shelton had compared on one patient, Portrait Plasma resurfacing compared with Fraxel CO2 on the other side of the patient's face. He found the Portrait side to look more natural and had slightly better lifting of their looseness of the upper eyelid skin.

Portrait Plasma is an exceptional way to address brown spots, scarring, indentation, and the fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging in a way that doesn't require surgical treatment. With improved technologies in the dermatological industry, patients can see drastic results to their appearance.
