Dermabrasion is a procedure, which mechanically removes layers of skin by sanding the surface. There are two forms of dermabrasion. There is microdermabrasion, which is very superficial in depth of treatment and requires no recovery. The effects of a single treatment are subtle, but over time and with a series of treatments, a noticeable change in skin texture may be seen. The more aggressive form of dermabrasion uses a rotating wheel, which removes the skin layer by layer. This method is commonly used for treatment of acne scarring and deep wrinkles around the mouth and for blending of scars. There is an initial recovery period of 7 to 10 days. At this point, makeup can be worn; however, there will be varying degrees of redness of the skin which can take 6 months or longer to resolve. For correction of acne scarring, repeated treatments may be required for optimum results.

The use of plasma energy in Portrait skin regeneration alters structures below the surface of the skin, creating unique conditions for continuing regeneration and improvements in wrinkles, tone, texture, and discoloration. Downtime is minimal, and clinical studies show that the improvements you see during your treatment will become even more noticeable over time.

Erbium Fractional laser technology allows the laser spot to be divided into multiple small laser beams. The laser energy is thus introduced into the skin in multiple tiny spots. Once the energy enters the skin it spreads to gently heat the tissue to cause contraction and to stimulate collagen production. The result is tightening of the skin with limited surface damage. There is a brief 2 to 3 days recovery associated with this treatment. It is effective for treating fine lines, brown spots, sun damage, and acne scars.
