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.
