Portrait(R) delivers nitrogen plasma (a highly energized gas) energy,which work both at and below the surface of the skin to modify the skin'sarchitecture and generate new collagen ... never making direct contact. Theskin's outer layers remain intact and act as a protective cover until thenew skin regenerates. Once this happens, the old skin peels away, takingwith it all the signs of photodamage; including brown sun spots and actinickeratoses (rough-textured patches or lesions that form on the outermostlayer of the skin after years of exposure to ultraviolet light.)Additionally Portrait(R) has a profound cosmetic effect on the otherresults from photodamage: wrinkles, skin tone and texture and skin laxity.Clinical studies show continuing improvement of the skin for up to a yearlater -- a unique and significant advantage that distinguishes Portrait(R)from all other skin treatments.

With the ability to vary the strength of the treatment (depending onthe extent of photodamage associated with each patient), from one higherlevel treatment to three lower level treatments, recovery time can belimited to accommodate each patient's schedule. A full face treatment takesfrom 20-30 minutes, and the long-term improvements of the skin's collagencontinue for up to one year.

The bottom line is that all amounts of sun exposure are dangerous.Whether it is the long-term effects of photodamage, or pre-cancerouslesions, protecting your skin should be a top priority this summer.

If treatment is not an option, following some easy steps will guaranteea healthy summer outdoors: Avoid the sun during 10 am and 4 pm; Cover yourskin with clothing; Use, and reapply sunscreen.

Portrait(R) PSR3 is FDA-cleared for treatment of facial wrinkles; thesuperficial skin lesions common on sun-exposed areas; and actinickeratosis, the dry, scaly patches that result from overexposure to the sun.Introduced to physicians at major worldwide academic meetings tooverwhelmingly positive response, Portrait(R) is poised to become thegold-standard treatment in skin regeneration.
