Similar Treatments and Alternatives for Portrait Plasma Skin Rejuventaion

Portrait plasma skin rejuvenation is an innovative skin treatment that doctors are using to treat wrinkles on the face, as well as hyper-pigmentation problems and some kinds of skin growth. Like other similar procedures, portrait plasma skin rejuvenation directs energy below the skin in order to stimulate helpful materials and leads to a rejuvenated look for patients. Here are some similar treatments and alternatives to this procedure:

Non-invasive Methods

Treatments like portrait plasma skin rejuvenation can help with the texture of skin, as well as skin tone. Some can help to reverse various kinds of skin damage. Many other treatments work in a similar way. Portrait plasma skin rejuvenation directs a kind of thermal energy called “nitrogen plasma” deep under the skin, without any invasive cutting or injections. Similar treatments involve other kinds of thermal energy, or even radio frequency energy. The idea is that relatively passive heat treatments can stimulate tissue changes without injuring the patient.

Laser Therapy

In addition to portrait plasma skin rejuvenation and radio energy treatments, a class of “laser therapy” treatments use thermal energy in a defined way: Lasers penetrate the skin and cause tiny “grooves” of heating to do roughly the same work. Different classes of laser therapy called “ablative” and “non-ablative” lasers have their own intensity and risks of side effects. Some of the most extreme treatments can actually do some damage, resulting in side effects from swelling to skin discoloration.

Energy Treatments

Doctors will select the best cosmetic dermatology treatment for a patient based on her particular medical conditions. Generally, those with any sensitivity to this kind of treatment will want some of the least intensive options in order to avoid the above kinds of side effects. Doctors might use a “test patch” on the skin to see how a certain therapy affects a particular patient before moving the treatment to the facial area.

One of the aspects of portrait plasma skin rejuvenation that industry professionals are talking about is that doctors can apply this treatment with various levels of intensity. Some patients who have received excessive intensity in portrait plasma skin rejuvenation treatments report significant or even extreme side effects and a high level of dissatisfaction with the treatment as a whole. One way to avoid this is for the doctor to select a “low setting” for portrait plasma skin rejuvenation. In contrast to various laser therapies, portrait plasma skin rejuvenation has the benefit of offering lower intensity treatment for patients who may not get good results with a more extreme therapy.

Although, as mentioned, all of the above procedures help patients avoid invasive techniques for facial rejuvenation, all of them do have their risks of side effects and complications, from light swelling to infection or scarring. Talk to a qualified medical professional before signing up for any kind of heat therapy treatment, including portrait plasma skin rejuvenation. Obtain all of the information on the risks and benefits, as well as recovery time, post-treatment maintenance and more.
