Plasma Portrait PSR- Picture Perfect Non laser Skin Resurfacing
The latest in skin resurfacing is the non laser Plasma Perfect PSR. It is
ideally suited for treatment of wrinkles and sun damage on the face, especially
around the eye area. In most people it is possible to improve wrinkles by at
least 50% in one treatment session. The Plasma PSR can produce results almost as
good as laser resurfacing, but heals faster and appears to be safer. Plasma
Portrait can be used as an alternative to or in conjunction with muscle relaxant
injections or injectable
fillers.

How does the Plasma Portrait work?
The Plasma Portrait is a nitrogen based heat cloud which heats and removes
the outer sun damaged layers of the skin, allowing new fresher skin to form. The
end result is smoother skin with fewer wrinkles and without the sun damaged
blemishes and spots.
