Portrait is used to improve skin texture and tone and to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars. It is effective for reducing undereye "dark circles." Portrait resurfacing leads to collagen "remodeling" which reverses changes in the skin due to aging and sun damage. PORTRAIT is the first and only treatment clinically proven to regenerate skin. The procedure's unique energy-transferring mechanism initiates regeneration deep below the skin's surface, remodeling the skin's architecture. This creates dramatic results that improve over time as the new architecture progressively replaces the old.

HOW IS THE PORTRAIT PROCEDURE PERFORMED? A topical anesthetic is applied before the Portrait procedure. This technology uses nitrogen plasma instead of laser energy. PORTRAIT doesn't remove skin, rather it heats the deeper layer of skin known as the dermis. The skin gently flakes off within a few days and skin tightening continues for up to a year following the PORTRAIT procedure.
