Portrait Express
Skin tightening with no downtime - the perfect lunch break treatment
What is Portrait Express?
Portrait Express is a quick, no-downtime version of Portrait PSR plasma skin regeneration that delivers skin tightening and texture improvement without the recovery time of a full treatment.
Using the same advanced plasma technology as the full Portrait PSR, Portrait Express delivers lower energy pulses that heat the deep dermis to stimulate collagen production without significantly affecting the outer skin layer. This means you can have the treatment and return to your normal activities immediately - perfect for busy schedules.
Benefits of Portrait Express

Return to work and social activities immediately after treatment.
Quick Treatment
Treatments take just 15-30 minutes - perfect for lunch breaks.
Skin Tightening
Immediate and progressive tightening effects over weeks.
Improved Texture
Smoother, more refined skin texture with each treatment.
How It Works
The Science
Portrait Express uses plasma energy to deliver controlled heat to the deep dermis while preserving the outer epidermis:
- Low-energy plasma pulses penetrate to the dermis
- Heat stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen
- Existing collagen contracts for immediate tightening
- New collagen continues to form over weeks to months
- Epidermis remains intact - no peeling or visible healing
Ideal Treatment Areas
- Face: Overall skin tightening and texture improvement
- Periorbital Area: Tightening around the eyes (crow's feet area)
- Perioral Area: Improvement around the mouth
- Neck: Address early skin laxity and crepiness
- Chest (Decolletage): Improve texture and fine lines
- Hands: Tighten and improve skin quality
