WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Physicians attending the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery in Chicago were invited to a Hot Topics session on the latest advances in plasma skin regeneration. Co-moderated by Richard Fitzpatrick, MD, and Christopher Zachary, MD, the session focused on new studies, expanded protocols, treatment of acne scars, skin tightening — especially around the eyes — and delivering CO2-like results with less recovery time. Presentations were made by a world-renowned faculty that included Drs. Kenneth Arndt, Brian Biesman, Jeffrey Dover, David Goldberg and Nathan Uebelhoer.

Portrait offers different treatment options that you can match with both yours and your patient’s expectations. It can induce collagen remodeling in a very different manner than what we are used to while at the same time promoting skin tightening. You can reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, improve tone, texture and pigmentation — take your pick, it does it all”. continue reading...
