Portrait Plasma Skin regeneration (high energy, PSR3) is an exceptionally safe skin resurfacing modality when used by an experienced practitioner (it is somewhat technique dependent). The company, Rhytec, filed for bankruptcy last year, but access to supplies of nozzles is improving. My charge for a PSR3 is $3500 and up, depending on the skin type. Some patients elect to have intravenous sedation during the procedure, which drives the cost up to some degree. 80% of my patients elect to have topical anesthesia boosted by nerve blocks (injections) and oral valium. PSR1 treatments (low energy, multiple treatments) typically run $1500 for full face treatment.

PSR treatments, like other resurfacing modalities are most effective and safest in Fitzpatrick skin types 1-3 (pale to moderate tanning ability). Patients with greater pigmentation are at greater risk for transient hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.

Portrait plasma resurfacing

Facial resurfacing can be done with mild, medium or severe purposeful wounding, to help develop new skin.  Plasma resurfacing (Portrait / Energist ) and Fraxel Repair, fractional CO2  laser, are done once and follow-up appointments are important to make sure the healing is ok. Both the pll Resotre asma and fractional CO2 cost several thousand dollars. A series of the medium, Fraxel Restore, cost slightly less or more than a thousand dollars per treatment (there are differences based on the surface area of involvement, and the city in which the treatment is done)

The fees for a portrait plasma will vary based on your geographical location, the areas to be treated, and the experience of the surgeon. At The Sullivan Centre in Columbus. Ohio, we offer a full face treatment with high energy for about $4000.00.
