busygirl800 spent $4,000 in Columbus, OH Updated 3 months ago

IT HURT LIKE HELL.... I will try to be as in depth as I can. They first start you on special creams and lotions cost of about $500.00 for everything they want you to use. The procedure cost $4000 in my area which is Columbus Ohio. They give you pain meds and then put numbing creme on your face .... Read more

SunSoul spent $2,500 in Beverly Hills, CA Updated 10 months ago

Due to the massive sun damage, I had this done a few years ago and ready to do it again. Skin tightening and the change in tone and texture was remarkable. This treatment yields total satisfaction when going to a doctor who knows what they are doing. Would recommend, thought it was worth it... Read more

CaliforniaKen spent $500 in Los Angeles, CA Updated 3 months ago

OK so I must admit, I have a fairly good relationship with the place I've been going for 10 years so the pricing was far below the norm. But onto the Portrait itself, I opted for the higher intensity level 2 (around the eyes and mouth) and 3 on the rest of my face. They left the numbing cream on... Read more

To get rid of fine lines around the eyes, to tighten skin, to get rid of age spots and freckles and darkening of skin under eyes and on upper lids. To give my complexion a brightened refreshed new look. I was asked about why I did it (which you can read above) but also asked about... Read more

june.s spent $3,000 in Knoxville, TN Created 1 year ago

PROS: Removed brown spots/freckles under my eyes. CONS: Did NOTHING else other than lift the few brown spots I had under my eyes. Hurt like HE!!, and that was after taking a sedative and having numbing cream applied all over. I thought I had a high pain threshold until I had Portrait... Read more

brinoz spent $1,500 in Kansas City Created 1 year ago

I am 62 and had Portrait a month ago for lower face and lip wrinkles. Recovery was very quick. I have seen no results at this point. I was wanting much BETTER results. I feel like I wasted money. My Dr. is now wanting to do fillers, but for another 1,200. I just wish I had done the filler instead. Read more

CJBRH spent $750 in Ft Lauderdale, FL Updated 2 years ago

I had it done 3 hours ago. The purpose was to get rid of the horrid brown smudges under my eyes (I'm a freckly, fair-skinned, blue-eyed, 49-year old blond). Also to take care of the slight crepiness under my eyes and my crow's feet. I had numbing cream for an hour, but after the... Read more

G.R. spent $3,500 in San Diego, CA Updated 3 years ago

Pros: It does tighten the skin and remove brown/sun spots Con: Difficult recovery, redness lasting months to years, scarring, sun sensitivity, unable to use any cosmetic products (including moisturizers. I mean NOTHING!) Did it to firm up skin, reduce wrinkling and sun damage. I believed... Read more

kae1 spent $2,300 in Bay Area, CA Updated 3 years ago

I had this procedure done by a plastic surgeon. He had suggested it as an option instead surgery for drooping eyelids. I had the high intensity treatment done on my entire face and opted to skip the novacaine shots and just go with the numbing cream which, by the way didn't really kick in until... Read more

Needs a Lil Help spent $6,000 in Campbell, CA Updated 4 years ago

I am a 41 year old female and underwent Portrait Plasma resurfacing 11 months ago to tighten very loose under eye skin (really crinkles when I smile), tighten upper eyelids giving the effect of blepharplasty, and get rid of lines above my upper lip. I was told that the collagen production would... Read more

woodswoman spent $1,300 in Savoy, IL Updated 4 years ago

I had the Sciton Fraxel with Portrait, at an introductory half off price. The only result I got was nearly 6 weeks of terrible acne, finally healing with antibiotics.

C.C. spent $5,000 in La Jolla, CA Updated 4 years ago

Rhytec Portrait PSR3. I had this treatment 18 months ago & would not recommend it to anyone. It has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I am 68 & had lovely creamy ivory skin with a few brown spots & fine lines. I was told I would be pink for about two months. After the... Read more

Klam spent $3,600 in Scottsdale, AZ Updated 4 years ago

The "Portrait" procedure for skin resurfacing by Rhytec was a horrible experience administered by an ignorant, greedy doctor with ugly results. I am sick about the unattractive aging of my face it caused (I am 68 years old and had a very youthful face), the wasted use of $3600, and... Read more

bren01 spent $1,000 in Temecula, CA Updated 4 years ago

Well its only day 4 for me but thought I would write hows its been so far. The actual procedure wasn't that bad at all, a little painful in spots but it was quick. The worse part was the sedation, hate that feeling. Immediately after they put a thick layer of vaseline on your face and send you... Read more

geovik spent $200 in Florida Updated 4 years ago

I have had two low energy rhytec portrait plasma procedures. It is tooo early to comment on results. All that has been written and advertised is untrue in regards to the degree of pain from the procedure. I was given numbing cream and a sedative @ 1.5 joules and found the procedure to be... Read more
