Making The Decision For The Portrait®   Skin Regeneration

The Portrait® Skin Regeneration is breakthrough technology in skin health.  Although the medical community has been using plasmas–highly charged ionized gas–for many years. Rhytec, a world leader in energy-based technologies, has successfully translated this revolutionary technology to the specialties of dermatology and cosmetic surgery. Known as Portrait®, the Plasma Skin Regeneration procedure is unparalleled for wrinkle reduction, tightening, and improvement in skin tone and texture. No other procedure treats more conditions at the same time—all of which are achieved with a low risk profile in which your own skin acts as a natural biological dressing during the healing process.

Understanding Portrait®   Skin Regeneration

Portrait® works by delivering millisecond pulses of nitrogen-based plasma to the skin’s surface via the system’s novel hand piece. Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless gaseous element that is part of all living tissues and makes up 80% of the atmosphere. When introduced to ultra-high frequency energy, the nitrogen is converted into a highly energized state, or plasma. From the hand piece, the plasma transfers its energy onto the skin without any direct contact, causing a very controlled heating of tissue and a unique thermal profile with no charring. Unlike other skin-rejuvenation treatments, Portrait® leaves the skin surface intact. It works via an entirely different mode of action that is effective both at and below the skin’s surface. It stimulates the body to regenerate the damaged structural elements of the skin in a way that other technologies and treatments cannot. Following treatment, results get better overtime, with clinical studies showing continuing improvement a year later—a unique and significant advantage that distinguishes Portrait® from all other skin treatments.

A new dramatically different, clinically proven treatment.

Portrait® skin regeneration is unlike any other treatment available today. It is not a laser, radio frequency, or light-based treatment. It is a completely new plasma energy technology that works both on and below the surface of the skin to modify the skin’s architecture so that new collagen is generated.  This procedure can be performed as a high-energy, one-time procedure for more dramatic results or for acne scar improvement.  It can also be performed in a series of 3-4 low energy treatments with less downtime.

Downtime is minimal and clinical studies show that the improvements you see following your treatment will become even more dramatic over time.

Please wear a button down shirt and secure a driver to take you home on the day of surgery. Photographs will be taken prior to scheduling this procedure. You may want to discuss post treatment options with a MediSPA staff member to minimize redness and promote healing more rapidly which can last up to a week.
