Portrait® and the Breakthrough Plasma Technology behind True Skin Regeneration
|
| Portrait®
- The Breakthrough Plasma Technology behind True Skin Regeneration |
|
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. |
|
Portrait® works by delivering millisecond pulses of nitrogen-based
plasma to the skin’s surface via the system’s novel handpiece. 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 handpiece, 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. The results seen following treatment get better
over time, with clinical studies showing continuing improvement a year
later — a unique and significant advantage that distinguishes Portrait®
from all other skin treatments. |
|
Portrait®
Skin Regeneration
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. |
|
Portrait® is effective in reducing the look of fine lines and deep
wrinkles, treating sun-damaged skin, improving skin tone and texture, improving
acne scars* and tightening skin. It works on a variety of skin types. |
|
During the short procedure, the unique scientific action of Portrait®
transfers plasma energy to the treated area without direct contact to the
skin. This technique preserves the skin’s outer layers which act as a protective
dressing until new skin regenerates. Downtime is minimal and clinical studies
show that the improvements you see following your treatment will become
even more dramatic over time. |
| True
skin regeneration for smoother, more beautiful skin. |
|
Portrait® skin regeneration can be used to treat an entire face or
a specific area. Treatment for an entire face can take as little as 20
minutes; a regional treatment can be as short as 10 – 15 minutes.
Shortly after, you will see improvements in your skin texture and tone
and diminished wrinkles giving you a new, more vibrant and youthful appearance.
Over time you will see continuing improvement that is truly unique. |
|
The results are comparable to aggressive laser resurfacing but the downtime
is dramatically reduced. It keeps working, stimulating collagen production
that has a unique matrix and increasing elastin for up to one year with
continued improvement to the skin. And, Portrait® is safe and effective.
It gives you the results you want without the lengthy downtime or the risks
associated with other treatments. |
