Does Very Little - Knoxville, TN
june.s spent $3,000 in Knoxville, TN Created 9 months 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
Portrait Plasma - Kansas City, MO
brinoz spent $1,500 in Kansas City Created 10 months 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
Portrait for Under Eye Circles and Crow's Feet - Ft Lauderdale, FL
CJBRH spent $750 in Ft Lauderdale, FL Updated 1 year 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
Portrait PSR Nightmare
G.R. spent $3,500 in San Diego, CA Updated 2 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
Portrait Plasma Worth It for Drooping Eyelids
kae1 spent $2,300 in Bay Area, CA Updated 2 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 2 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
Portrait Laser

Not much downtime. Hurts during procedure. I had the strongest setting performed. Tightened eyes. Turned brown and red before peeling. Took about a week to heal. The cost was reasonable.I went back a year later and had my eyes done. It continu3es to build collagen for a year after the procedure.... Read more
Sciton/Portrait Not Worth It
woodswoman spent $1,300 in Savoy, IL Updated 3 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. I now have some uneven tone, which I didn't have before the procedure.It also seems my skin won't peel as easily, leaving it dull... Read more

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
"Portrait" Skin Regeneration Procedure Disaster!!
Klam spent $3,600 in Scottsdale, AZ Updated 3 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
Plasma Portrait Procedure
bren01 spent $1,000 in Temecula, CA Updated 3 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
Rhytec Portrait Plasma
geovik spent $200 in Florida Updated 3 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
