Plastic Surgery: Rhytec Portrait Plasma Resurfacing

Dr. Lam performs Rhytec Portrait Plasma resurfacing following an upper eyelid and fat grafting procedure.

The state-of-the-art technology for skin rejuvenation today is plasma resurfacing. Unlike older laser technology in which recovery times can be quite long and risk loss of skin color, today plasma offers the same level of deep skin rejuvenation with a recovery time of less than a week and without evidence to date (over 5 years of studies) of loss of skin color. In addition, the settings can be adjusted for even a shorter recovery time of a weekend, which would require three treatment sessions spaced a month apart for optimal rejuvenation. Not only are deeper wrinkles, uneven skin texture and tone, and other blemishes immediately improved but also there is ongoing improvement over the following year, as new collagen is awakened and grows.

He has authored three major facial plastic surgery textbooks, including Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation: A Practical and Systematic Guide to the Aging Face, Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face, and the recently published Complementary Fat Grafting.
