From superficial epidermal to deeper dermal treatment, Portrait® PSR³ yields the therapeutic results patients and physicians desire with an optimized recovery profile.
Low morbidity, erythema and recovery time Continuing regenerative process producing sustainable improvements in photodamage Progressive replacement of old thermally modified architecture by new architecture Regenerated reticular architecture of the upper dermis and DE junction Fibroblasts from deeper dermis migrate to support improvement of skins architecture and surface Restoration of more normal mechanical and physiological functions of the dermis Unique thermal profile distinguishes new plasma technology
Non-contact millisecond pulses of nitrogen plasma energy Non-chromophore dependent energy absorption Uniform, predictable, non-ablative impact at all energy levels Thermal energy absorbed by all components of the skins architecture Unique skin surface microenvironment Epidermis and stratum corneum intact at time of treatment No wound created, epidermal vaporization or charring Intact epithelium immediately post treatment protects and speeds healing Vacuolation of epidermis acts as insulator at high energy Easy to feather treatment areas No scarring or hypopigmentation in clinical studies to date
