Every once in a while the science of beauty takes a great leap forward. Something comes along that changes everything - a breakthrough that opens the door to new possibilities and raises results to a whole new level.

Introducing Portrait®, the most important advance in cosmetic treatment in a decade.

Portrait® is not a laser or light treatment or variation of anything else. It's a brand new technology with unique capabilities. It is the only treatment actually proven to generate new skin – not just at the surface, but below the surface - for as long as a year after treatment. And while Portrait® may be the latest advance, it's backed by years of clinical research and hard science.

So for smoother, more beautiful skin that leaves them wondering, choose Portrait®.

True skin regeneration that smoothes away wrinkles and enhances skin tone and texture. Portrait® skin regeneration begins with a simple procedure that takes less than 15 to 30 minutes for a full face. Right away, you’ll see new, healthy collagen and a more vibrant, youthful appearance.

Over time you’ll see continuing improvement that’s truly remarkable. Working below the surface of the skin, Portrait® creates the right conditions and natural growth factors for generating new skin and continuous improvement in wrinkles, tone and texture. Clinical studies show continuing improvements for as long as a year after treatment, with results lasting for years.

Portrait® is safe and effective. It gives you the results you want without the lengthy downtime or the risks associated with other treatments.

Portrait® Before and After Photos

What makes Portrait® different from other available treatments?
The ground-breaking science behind Portrait® makes it different from other treatments in several important ways. Portrait® is the first and only treatment clinically proven to regenerate skin. Its 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.

What kind of improvements can I expect to see?
You will see improvements in skin texture, tone and reduction of fine wrinkles at lower levels of treatment and reduction of deep wrinkles at higher levels of treatment. New healthier collagen growth will improve contours and enhance your overall appearance.

What does the procedure feel like and how long does it take?
You may experience a localized sensation of heat during the procedure. A topical anesthetic is generally applied before the procedure, although your physician may recommend other approaches depending upon your specific needs. A full face treatment usually takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

How many treatments do I need?
Your physician will recommend an appropriate treatment regimen for you. Typically this varies from one hard treatment session to three soft treatment sessions depending upon the desired outcome, your skin condition and the level of improvement you are seeking relative to downtime. It usually takes from one or two days (soft treatment session) to just over a week (hard treatment session) for your skin to appear normal with or without make-up.

How does it work?
The innovative Portrait® technology transfers nitrogen plasma energy to the architecture of the skin using a non-contact technique producing controlled, uniform regeneration of your skin.

What should I expect following treatment?
At lower levels of treatment there will be some mild redness and flaking of the skin. At higher levels, the outer layer of skin browns and is shed 3 to 5 days after treatment. Once this occurs, the redness of the regenerated skin will last for 2-3 days. Shedding may take a little longer at the edges of the treated area. Localized redness may also linger slightly in some patients. On darker skin, the localized redness may appear as a darker spot that lightens over time.

How soon will I see a difference and how long will it last?
You will see results soon after your treatment. However, one of the most striking and unique advantages of Portrait® is that it stimulates a natural process of regeneration, producing results that progressively improve over time. Clinical studies show that this improvement progression continues for at least one year after treatment. Patients are amazed when they compare their appearances before treatment and twelve months later.

Is the Portrait® procedure safe?
Portrait® has demonstrated an excellent safety profile in clinical studies. It does not involve intense light radiation as found with ablative laser treatments, which are known to be associated with scarring and often protracted periods of downtime. It is also far easier to use and control than messy, chemical peeling agents that corrode your skin.

Can Portrait® be used with other treatments?
Your physician will advise you on the best way to combine treatments such as Starlux® Photofacials, Genesis® SR, Titan® skin tightening, Vibraderm®, Botox® or dermal fillers. If you have had other procedures within the last 12 months you should discuss the timing of your Portrait® procedure with your physician.

How much does the procedure cost?
The cost for Portrait® will depend upon the treatment regimen you and your doctor choose. In general, the cost is comparable to other similar procedures. However, with Portrait®, you get superior, longer-lasting results at every treatment level (soft or hard) and fewer treatments are required to get the results you want. Therefore, Portrait® is a very economical choice.
