Using Portrait® Plasma to treat the skin to less-invasive rejuvenation

You may have noticed some changes in your skin that don’t make you particularly happy. Perhaps the effects of the sun are beginning to show, or maybe there is a skin lesion causing you concern. Although many people face such issues at some point in their life, there may be apprehension or medical reasons that laser treatments are not the right path to follow. If this is the case, there is still a way to effectively turn back the hands of time and love your skin. With the innovative Portrait® Plasma treatment, skin rejuvenation is possible.

Portrait® Plasma is an innovative skin treatment that leads to the regeneration of the necessary elements for beautiful skin, not through pulsed light, laser, or radio frequency, but through the precise delivery of thermal energy, a form that comes from nature and surrounds us all the time. In the safe and effective application of thermal energy in Portrait® Plasma treatments, the skin is encouraged to produce higher levels of elastin and collagen naturally, replacing wrinkled, damaged tissue with new, healthy tissue.

Four types of Portrait® Plasma treatments are aimed at resurfacing the skin on the face, hands, and neck. Depending on the size of the area, treatment may take from ten minutes to an hour. Before beginning treatment, Dr. Shelton may apply a topical anesthetic to ensure the greatest degree of comfort, as well as medication taken by mouth. The handheld device that delivers plasma energy to the skin never makes direct contact with the skin, instead releasing an even exposure of energy across the epidermis. As this energy is delivered, a warm sensation may be felt.

After completion of the treatment, the patient may feel slight itching of the treatment area, and may experience redness and in a day or two, and peeling of the skin. Some patients may see dark spots or scabs form in the treated area. The healing process may last for ten days or more, but usually at seven days the skin has been covered with a new epithelium. Any effects of Portrait® Plasma treatment can be evaluated by Dr. Shelton, and should last only a few days to a few weeks, leading the way to bright, supple skin.

If you want a naturally younger you, with correction of concerns such as poor skin texture, dark spots, fine lines or wrinkles, acne scars, or skin laxity, Portrait® Plasma may be the ideal cosmetic treatment for you.
